Figure 5-2 Configuring an Access Database
6. On the Configure Access Database form, set the Use Access Database checkbox to enable
access database lookups. (You can turn off this checkbox to disable database lookups while
retaining the access database configuration.)
7. Enter the complete pathname for the access database you created but do not include the
extension. (The default pathname is /var/adm/sendmail/accessdb.)
8. Set the Suppress Errors in the Absence of the Database File checkbox to prevent Sendmail
from performing a database lookup if the access database does not exist. (This parameter
corresponds to the -o option on the K configuration line in the sendmail.cf file.)
9. Ordinarily, Sendmail strips all nonescaped quotation marks and removes any backslashes
(\) from a key before looking it up in the access database. For example:
“Bob \”bigboy\”Roberts \(esq\)"@bob.com
is ordinarily converted to:
Bob "bigboy" Roberts (esq)@bob.com
To preserve quotation marks and escape characters (those preceded by a backslash) in keys
before database lookup, turn off the Strip Quotation Marks from Keys checkbox. (This
parameter corresponds to the -q option on the K configuration line in the sendmail.cf
file.)
10. Ordinarily, Sendmail converts a key to all lowercase letters before looking it up in the access
database. If keys in the virtual user table are case-sensitive, turn off the Convert Keys to
Lowercase checkbox to prevent conversion to lowercase. (This parameter corresponds to
the -f option on the K configuration line in the sendmail.cf file.)
11. Click on Submit to change the server configuration (or click on Cancel to cancel the changes
and return to the Configure Sendmail Server menu).
When the Suppress Errors in the Absence of the Database File checkbox is not checked, the
Administration utility checks that the access database file exists (as specified in the Database
File Name field).
If there are no errors, the utility displays a message confirming that the configuration has
been changed, and indicates that the Sendmail server has been restarted.
