-d27.2
Include file, self reference, error on home Debug command-line switch
The -d27.2
debugging switch causes each :include
: and ~/.forward file name to
be printed before each is opened for reading:
include(file)
The -d27.2
debugging switch also causes additional information
to be printed for the alias loop check described
earlier:
self_reference(addr) ... getpwnam(user)...found ← if in passwd file ... getpwnam(user)...failed ← otherwise
The -d27.2
debugging switch also causes
sendmail to print a message
every time it sleeps while waiting for the
aliases database to be
rebuilt:
aliaswait: sleeping for secs seconds
Also, when processing the
~/.forward file,
sendmail might experience a
temporary inability to read it (such as when an NFS
server is down). In that case the -d27.2
debugging switch
causes the following message to be printed:
forward: transient error on home
Here the message will be queued and tried again later.
