25 Restricting Sendmail In Standalone Mode
When using the new Sendmail administration that contains the open source administration
methods, the update of the Sendmail configuration file (sendmail.cf) is not sufficient to stop
mail forwarding. The Domain Name Service mail based records (mx) must also be disabled to
enforce Standalone mode.
26 Administration for Thunderbird E-mail and Newsgroup Client
To open the help, release notes, and links from Thunderbird, add a file named user.js in your
thunderbird profile directory containing the following lines:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/X11/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/X11/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/usr/bin/X11/firefox")
These lines inserted into user.js use Firefox to open links from Thunderbird. An alternative
method for opening links in Seamonkey is to use /usr/bin/X11/seamonkey .
27 Issues with Sendmail Server/Using Open Source Configuration Rules
Link
The following issues are related to the use of the Sendmail server with the Open Source
Configuration Rules.
AntiSpam LDAP
The AntiSpam LDAP relay option Check for Blacklist Recipients in Access Database can be
enabled successfully using the PHP link but the functionality does not work as expected.
To fully enable the Sendmail LDAP lookup option, the following section in the sendmail.cf
file must be manually updated to include the sequence:luser option, as follows:
#location of alias file
O AliasFile=btree:/var/adm/sendmail/aliases,sequence:luser
After updating the sendmail.cf file, stop and start Sendmail.
This procedure must be done apart from enabling the Configure LDAP option using the PHP
link. Refer the Help page for more information on how to configure Sendmail LDAP lookup.
Enabling milter
To enable milter functionality, the following section in the sendmail.cf file must be manually
updated by uncommenting the O InputMailFilters configure option and specifying the name of
the milter, as follows:
# Input mail filters
O InputMailFilters=milter name
After updating the sendmail.cf file, stop and start Sendmail. This procedure must be done
apart from enabling the Configure Milter option using the PHP link. Refer the Help page for more
information on how to configure Milter.
Enabling Masquerading
The Enabling Masquerading feature does not work for local users (that is, users on the same
system). The following masquerading options do not work for both local and non-local users
(that is, Internet users):
Masquerading hosts/domains
Exclude User
Sub-domain masquerading
