${cert_md5}

Synopsis

As a part of the STARTTLS form of authentication and encryption, certificates are usually exchanged. This ${cert_md5} macro is assigned the result of an md5(1) 128-bit “fingerprint” of the certificate presented by the other side. That value might look like this:

The ${cert_md5} macro is not used in the default configuration file, but is available for use in rule sets of your own design. Note that a $& prefix is necessary when you reference this macro in rules (that is, use $&{cert_md5}, not ${cert_md5}).

${cert_md5} is transient. If defined in the configuration file or in the command line, that definition can be ignored by sendmail.
