F=B
Strip one leading backslash V8.13 and later
The F=s
delivery-agent flag (F=s on
page 779) causes sendmail to dequote the recipient’s
address before passing it to the selected delivery
agent. Dequoting causes all quotation marks (“) and
all leading backslashes (\) to be removed. But when
a lighter touch is needed, you may use this F=B flag instead, which
just removes all leading backslashes. For
example:
"\\\user"@relayhost with F=s becomes user@relayhost "\\\user"@relayhost with F=B becomes "user"@relayhost
Note that because F=B is a subset of F=s, we discourage you
from using both flags at the same time.
