sendmail, 4th Edition

netinfo

NeXT, Darwin, and Mac OS X NetInfo V8.7 and later

NetInfo is NeXT’s implementation of a network-based information service. It has also been adopted by the Darwin and Mac OS X operating systems. The netinfo type expects a database-map declaration to be of the following form:

Kname netinfo  database-map

The database-map name defaults to /aliases.

The netinfo type uses only a handful of database switches, as shown in Table 23-18.

Table 23-18. The netinfo database-map type K command switches

Switch	§	Description
-a	-a on page 887	Append tag on successful match.
-D	-D on page 887	Don’t use this database map if DeliveryMode=defer.
-k	-k on page 888	Specify column for key or key name.
-m	-m on page 888	Suppress replacement on match.
-q	-q on page 889	Don’t strip quotes from key.
-S	-S on page 890	Space replacement character.
-T	-T on page 890	Suffix to append on temporary failure.
-t	-t on page 891	Ignore temporary errors.
-v	-v on page 891	Specify the value’s column.
-z	-z on page 891	Specify the column delimiter.

The -v property returns defaults to members. The -z column delimiter defaults to a comma.

Support of netinfo database maps is available only if you declare NETINFO when compiling sendmail (NETINFO on page 127).
