-d11.2
Show the user-id running as during delivery Debug command-line switch
To perform delivery, sendmail
often has to set its uid to
something other than root’s.
The logic behind that process is described in Delivery to Files on page 466. The
-d11.2
debugging switch tells sendmail
to print the real and effective
user-ids that it is running
under during delivery:
openmailer: running as r/euid=real-user-id/effective-user-id
Also, the -d11.2
debugging switch causes
sendmail to print any error
response that might be produced by a delivery
agent:
giveresponse: stat=status, e->e_message=what
Here, status is the number of the error that caused delivery to fail (or succeed if it is 0) as defined in <sysexits.h>. The what is either the error message produced by the delivery agent, or <NULL> if the delivery agent was silent.
