sendmail, 4th Edition

FEATURE(uucpdomain)

Convert UUCP hosts via a database Deprecated

This has been deprecated as of V8.10. If you currently use this feature, you should convert to FEATURE(domaintable) (FEATURE(domaintable) on page 621) soon.

FEATURE(uucpdomain) was similar to bitdomain (FEATURE(bitdomain) on page 617) but was used to translate addresses of the form:

[e-mail]

into a DNS domain format, such as host.domain.com. The database for this would contain, for example, key and data pairs such as these:

host     host.domain.com

This source text file was converted into a database with the makemap(1) program (The makemap Program on page 370).

The way you declare uucpdomain is like this:

FEATURE(`uucpdomain')

This causes rules to be added so that a host with a .UUCP suffix will be looked up in the database uudomain. FEATURE(uucpdomain) also creates the declaration for that database:

Kuudomain hash /etc/mail/uudomain

If you wish to use a different form of database or a different location for the database file, you can do so by adding an argument to the feature declaration:

FEATURE(`uucpdomain', `dbm -o /etc/mail/uudomain')

Here, we tell sendmail that we will be using the NDBM form of database instead of the original NEWDB form (Enable at Compile Time on page 879). We also add a -o to make the presence of the file optional.

If you provide a second argument that is a literal LDAP:

FEATURE(`uucpdomain', `LDAP')

the default becomes the following (we have wrapped the lines to fit the page):

Kauthinfo ldap −1 -v sendmailMTAMapValue ...
