Chapter 23. The K (Database-Map) Configuration Command

Database-maps can be used to look up information in databases, to perform transformations (such as dequoting), to perform computations, and to store values into macros.

What’s New with V8.13

V8.13 sendmail has expanded the roles of database-maps in the following ways:

  • Two new ldap database-map switches have been added: -w (Section 23.1.1.1 [V8.13]) allows you to specify the LDAP API/protocol version to use; -H (Section 23.1.1.2 [V8.13]) allows you to specify an LDAP URI instead of specifying the LDAP server with both the -h host (23.7.11.4[3ed]) and -p port (23.7.11.9[3ed]).[30]

The DNSBL_MAP_OPT mc macro (Section 9.1.1 [V8.13]) has been added to help tune the use of the dns database-map type with the dnsbl feature. (These new ...
