151220Seric 251220Seric 357246Seric NEW SENDMAIL CONFIGURATION FILES 451220Seric 557246Seric Eric Allman <eric@CS.Berkeley.EDU> 651220Seric 7*58363Seric @(#)README 6.9 (Berkeley) 03/02/93 851220Seric 951220Seric 1057246SericThis document describes the sendmail configuration files being used 1157246Sericat Berkeley. These use features in the new (R6) sendmail, and although 1257246Sericthere is an ``OLDSENDMAIL'' mode, they haven't really been tested on 1357247Sericold versions of sendmail and cannot be expected to work well. 1451220Seric 1557246SericThese configuration files are probably not as general as previous 1657246Sericversions, and don't handle as many of the wierd cases automagically. 1757246SericI was able to simplify by them for two reasons. First, the network 1857246Serichas become more consistent -- for example, at this point, everyone 1957246Sericon the internet is supposed to be running a name server, so hacks to 2057246Serichandle NIC-registered hosts can go away. Second, I assumed that a 2157246Sericsubdomain would be running SMTP internally -- UUCP is presumed to be 2257246Serica long-haul protocol. I realize that this is not universal, but it 2357246Sericdoes describe the vast majority of sites with which I am familiar, 2457246Sericincluding those outside the US. 2551220Seric 2657246SericOf course, the downside of this is that if you do live in a wierd 2757246Sericworld, things are going to get wierder for you. I'm sorry about that, 2857246Sericbut at the time we at Berkeley had a problem, and it seemed like the 2957246Sericright thing to do. 3051220Seric 3157247SericThis package requires a post-V7 version of m4; if you are running the 3257247Seric4.2bsd, SysV.2, or 7th Edition version, I suggest finding a friend with 3357247Serica newer version. You can m4-expand on their system, then run locally. 3457247SericSunOS's /usr/5bin/m4 or BSD-Net/2's m4 both work. GNU m4 (which is a 3557247Sericlanguage unto itself) also works, but I don't intend to work so hard 3657247Sericto keep this up in the future. [Note to GNU folks: the construct 3757246Seric"define(`FOO')" should work without my having to add a null value.] 3851220Seric 3958284SericIF YOU DON'T HAVE A BERKELEY MAKE, don't despair! Just run 4058284Seric"m4 foo.mc > foo.cf" -- that should be all you need. 4158284Seric 4258284SericTo get started, you may want to look at tcpproto.mc (for TCP-only 4358284Sericsites) and uucpproto.m4 (for UUCP-only sites). Others are versions 4458284Sericthat we use at Berkeley, although not all are in current use. For 4558284Sericexample, ucbarpa has gone away, but I've left ucbarpa.mc in because 4658284Sericit demonstrates some interesting techniques. 4758284Seric 4857246SericI'm not pretending that this README describes everything that these 4957246Sericconfiguration files can do; clever people can probably tweak them 5057246Sericto great effect. But it should get you started. 5157246Seric 5258087Seric 5357246Seric+--------------------------+ 5457246Seric| INTRODUCTION AND EXAMPLE | 5557246Seric+--------------------------+ 5657246Seric 5757246SericConfiguration files are contained in the subdirectory "cf", with a 5857246Sericsuffix ".mc". They must be run through "m4" to produce a ".cf" file. 5957246Seric 6051220SericLet's examine a typical .mc file (cf/cs-exposed.mc): 6151220Seric 6251220Seric divert(-1) 6351220Seric # 6451220Seric # Copyright (c) 1983 Eric P.

Our lawyers require 8357246Sericthe one that I've included in my files. A copyleft is a copyright by 8457246Sericanother name. 8551220Seric 8657246SericThe next line MUST be 8757246Seric 8851220Seric include(`../m4/cf.m4') 8951220Seric 9057246SericThis will pull in the M4 macros you will need to make sense of 9157246Sericeverything else. As the saying goes, don't think about it, just 9257246Sericdo it. If you don't do it, don't bother reading the rest of this 9357246Sericfile. 9451220Seric 9556778Seric VERSIONID(`<SCCS or RCS version id>') 9651220Seric 9751220SericVERSIONID is a macro that stuffs the version information into the 9851220Sericresulting file. We use SCCS; you could use RCS, something else, or 9957246Sericomit it completely. This is not the same as the version id included 10057246Sericin SMTP greeting messages -- this is defined in m4/version.m4. 10151220Seric 10251268Seric DOMAIN(cs.exposed) 10351220Seric 10451220SericThis example exposes the host inside of the CS subdomain -- that is, 10551220Sericit doesn't try to hide the name of the workstation to the outside 10651220Sericworld. Changing this to DOMAIN(cs.hidden) would have made outgoing 10751220Sericmessages refer to "<username>@CS.Berkeley.EDU" instead of using the 10857246Sericlocal hostname. Internaly this is effected by using 10957246Seric"MASQUERADE_AS(CS.Berkeley.EDU)". 11051220Seric 11151268Seric MAILER(smtp) 11251220Seric 11351309SericThese describe the mailers used at the default CS site site. The 11451309Sericlocal mailer is always included automatically. 11551220Seric 11658087Seric 11757246Seric+--------+ 11857246Seric| OSTYPE | 11957246Seric+--------+ 12057246Seric 12151220SericNote that cf/cs-exposed.mc omits an OSTYPE macro -- this assumes 12251220Sericdefault Computer Science Division environment. There are several 12357247Sericexplicit environments available: bsd4.3, bsd4.4, hpux, irix, osf1, 12457247Sericriscos4.5, sunos3.5, sunos4.1, and ultrix4.1. These change things 12557247Sericlike the location of the alias file and queue directory. Some of 12657247Sericthese files are identical to one another. 12751220Seric 12857246SericOperating system definitions are easy to write. They may define 12957246Sericthe following variables (everything defaults, so an ostype file 13057246Sericmay be empty). 13151220Seric 13257246SericALIAS_FILE [/etc/aliases] The location of the text version 13357246Seric of the alias file. 13457246SericHELP_FILE [/usr/lib/sendmail.hf] The name of the file 13557246Seric containing information printed in response to 13657246Seric the SMTP HELP command. 13757246SericQUEUE_DIR [/var/spool/mqueue] The directory containing 13857246Seric queue files. 13957246SericSTATUS_FILE [/etc/sendmail.st] The file containing status 14057246Seric information. 14158087SericLOCAL_MAILER_PATH [/bin/mail] The program used to deliver local mail. 14257246SericLOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS [rn] The flags used by the local mailer. The 14357246Seric flags lsDFMm are always included. 14458087SericLOCAL_SHELL_PATH [/bin/sh] The shell used to deliver piped email. 14558087SericUSENET_MAILER_PATH [/usr/lib/news/inews] The name of the program 14658087Seric used to submit news. 14758087SericUSENET_MAILER_FLAGS [rlsDFMmn] The mailer flags for the usenet mailer. 14858087SericUSENET_MAILER_ARGS [-m -h -n] The command line arguments for the 14958087Seric usenet mailer. 15057246SericHOSTMAP_SPEC [dbm -o /etc/hostmap] The value for the builtin 15157246Seric hostmap key definition. You can redefine this 15257246Seric to change the class, flags, and filename of 15357246Seric the hostmap. The default flag (-o) makes this 15457246Seric map optional. 15557246Seric 15657246SericIn addition, the following boolean flags may be defined -- the value 15757246Sericis ignored. 15857246Seric 15957246SericNEED_DOMAIN If set, the $j macro is defined as $w.$D. 16057246Seric If not set, $j is defined as $w. If this is 16157246Seric set, the domain must be defined using the line 16257246Seric DD<domainname> (probably in the domain file, 16357246Seric but possibly in the .mc file). You will only 16457246Seric need this if you define your system hostname 16557246Seric without a domain (type "hostname" -- if it 16658087Seric has no dots in the output, you qualify) AND 16758087Seric if you are not running the nameserver AND if 16858087Seric the first (canonical) name in /etc/hosts for 16958087Seric your machine has no domain -- OR if you are 17058087Seric running Ultrix or OSF/1 sendmail. Either of 17158087Seric these is probably a mistake. 17257246Seric 17357246Seric+---------+ 17457246Seric| DOMAINS | 17557246Seric+---------+ 17657246Seric 17757246SericYou will probably want to collect domain-dependent defines into one 17857246Sericfile, referenced by the DOMAIN macro. For example, our Berkeley 17957246Sericdomain file includes definitions for several internal distinguished 18057246Serichosts: 18157246Seric 18257246SericUUCP_RELAY The host that will forward UUCP-addressed email. 18357246Seric If not defined, all UUCP sites must be directly 18457246Seric connected. 18557246SericBITNET_RELAY The host that will forward BITNET-addressed email. 18657246Seric If not defined, the .BITNET pseudo-domain won't work. 18757246SericCSNET_RELAY The host that will forward CSNET-addressed email. 18857246Seric If not defined, the .CSNET pseudo-domain won't work. 18957246SericLOCAL_RELAY The site that will handle unqualified names -- that 19057246Seric is, names with out an @domain extension. If not set, 19157246Seric they are assumed to belong on this machine. This 19257246Seric allows you to have a central site to store a 19357246Seric company- or department-wide alias database. This 19457246Seric only works at small sites, and there are better 19557246Seric methods. 19657246Seric 19757246SericThe domain file can also be used to define a domain name, if needed 19857982Seric(using "DD<domain>") and set certain site-wide features. If all hosts 19957982Sericat your site masquerade behind one email name, you could also use 20057982SericMASQUERADE_AS here. 20157246Seric 20257246Seric+---------+ 20357246Seric| MAILERS | 20457246Seric+---------+ 20557246Seric 20651220SericThere are fewer mailers supported in this version than the previous 20751220Sericversion, owing mostly to a simpler world. 20851220Seric 20951220Sericlocal The local and prog mailers. You will almost always 21051220Seric need these; the only exception is if you relay ALL 21157247Seric your mail to another site. This mailer is included 21257247Seric automatically. 21351220Seric 21451220Sericsmtp The Simple Mail Transport Protocol mailer. This does 21551220Seric not hide hosts behind a gateway or another other 21651220Seric such hack; it assumes a world where everyone is 21751220Seric running the name server. 21851220Seric 21951220Sericuucp The Unix-to-Unix Copy Program mailer. Actually, this 22051220Seric defines two mailers, "uucp" and "suucp". The latter 22151220Seric is for when you know that the UUCP mailer at the other 22251220Seric end can handle multiple recipients in one transfer. 22357246Seric When you invoke this, sendmail looks for all names in 22457246Seric the $=U class and sends them to the uucp mailer; all 22557246Seric names in the $=Y class are sent to suucp. Note that 22657246Seric this is a function of what version of rmail runs on 22757246Seric the receiving end, and hence may be out of your control. 22851220Seric 22958087Sericusenet Usenet (network news) delivery. If this is specified, 23058087Seric an extra rule is added to ruleset 0 that forwards all 23158087Seric local email for users named ``group.usenet'' to the 23258087Seric ``inews'' program. Note that this works for all groups, 23358087Seric and may be considered a security problem. 23458087Seric 235*58363Sericfax Facsimile transmission. This is experimental and based 236*58363Seric on Sam Leffler's FlexFAX software. For more information, 237*58363Seric see below. 23858087Seric 239*58363Seric 24057246Seric+----------+ 24157246Seric| FEATURES | 24257246Seric+----------+ 24351268Seric 24457246SericSpecial features can be requested using the "FEATURE" macro. For 24557246Sericexample, the .mc line: 24657246Seric 24757246Seric FEATURE(use_cw_file) 24857246Seric 24957246Serictells sendmail that you want to have it read an /etc/sendmail.cw 25057246Sericfile to get values for class $=w. Available features are: 25157246Seric 25257246Sericuse_cw_file Read the file /etc/sendmail.cw file to get alternate 25357246Seric names for this host. This might be used if you were 25457246Seric on a host that MXed for a dynamic set of other 25557246Seric hosts. If the set is static, just including the line 25657246Seric "Cw<name1> <name2> ..." is probably superior. 25758087Sericredirect Reject all mail addressed to "address.REDIRECT" with 25858087Seric a ``551 User not local; please try <address>'' message. 25958087Seric If this is set, you can alias people who have left 26058087Seric to their new address with ".REDIRECT" appended. 26158284Sericnouucp Don't do anything special with UUCP addresses at all. 26257246Seric 26357246SericOther FEATUREs should be defined, but I was trying to keep these 26457246Sericconfig files fairly lean and mean. 26557246Seric 26658087Seric 26757246Seric+-------+ 26857246Seric| HACKS | 26957246Seric+-------+ 27057246Seric 27157246SericSome things just can't be called features. To make this clear, 27257247Sericthey go in the hack subdirectory and are referenced using the HACK 27357246Sericmacro. These will tend to be site-dependent. The release 27457246Sericincludes the Berkeley-dependent "cssubdomain" hack (that makes 27557246Sericsendmail accept local names in either Berkeley.EDU or CS.Berkeley.EDU; 27657246Sericthis is intended as a short-term aid while we move hosts into 27757246Sericsubdomains. 27857246Seric 27958087Seric 28057246Seric+--------------------+ 28157246Seric| SITE CONFIGURATION | 28257246Seric+--------------------+ 28357246Seric 28457246SericComplex sites will need more local configuration information, such as 28557246Sericlists of UUCP hosts they speak with directly. This can get a bit more 28657246Serictricky. For an example of a "complex" site, see cf/ucbvax.mc. 28757246Seric 28857246SericThe SITECONFIG macro allows you to indirectly reference site-dependent 28957246Sericconfiguration information stored in the siteconfig subdirectory. For 29057246Sericexample, the line 29157246Seric 29257246Seric SITECONFIG(uucp.ucbvax, ucbvax, U) 29357246Seric 29457246Sericreads the file uucp.ucbvax for local connection information. The 29557246Sericsecond parameter is the local name (in this case just "ucbvax" since 29657246Sericit is locally connected, and hence a UUCP hostname) and the name of 29757246Sericthe class in which to store the host information. Another SITECONFIG 29857246Sericline reads 29957246Seric 30057246Seric SITECONFIG(uucp.ucbarpa, ucbarpa.Berkeley.EDU, W) 30157246Seric 30257246SericThis says that the file uucp.ucbarpa contains the list of UUCP sites 30357246Sericconnected to ucbarpa.Berkeley.EDU. The $=W class will be used to 30457246Sericstore this list. [The machine ucbarpa is gone now, but I've left 30557246Sericthis out-of-date configuration file around to demonstrate how you 30657246Sericmight do this.] 30757246Seric 30857246SericThe siteconfig file (e.g., siteconfig/uucp.ucbvax.m4) contains nothing 30957246Sericmore than a sequence of SITE macros describing connectivity. For 31057246Sericexample: 31157246Seric 31257246Seric SITE(cnmat) 31357246Seric SITE(sgi olympus) 31457246Seric 31557246SericThe second example demonstrates that you can use two names on the 31657246Sericsame line; these are usually aliases for the same host (or are at 31757246Sericleast in the same company). 31857246Seric 31958087Seric 32057246Seric+-------------------+ 32157246Seric| TWEAKING RULESETS | 32257246Seric+-------------------+ 32357246Seric 32451268SericFor more complex configurations, you can define special rules. 32551268SericThe macro LOCAL_RULE_3 introduces rules that are used in canonicalizing 32651268Sericthe names. Any modifications made here are reflected in the header. 32751268Seric 32851268SericA common use is to convert old UUCP addreses to SMTP addresses using 32951268Sericthe UUCPSMTP macro. For example: 33051268Seric 33151268Seric LOCAL_RULE_3 33251268Seric UUCPSMTP(decvax, decvax.dec.com) 33351268Seric UUCPSMTP(research, research.att.com) 33451268Seric 33551268Sericwill cause addresses of the form "decvax!user" and "research!user" 33651268Sericto be converted to "user@decvax.dec.com" and "user@research.att.com" 33751268Sericrespectively. 33851268Seric 33957246SericThis could also be used to look hosts in a database map: 34057246Seric 34157246Seric LOCAL_RULE_3 34257246Seric R$* < @ $+ > $* $: $1 < @ $(hostmap $2 $) > $3 34357246Seric 34457246SericThis map would be defined in the LOCAL_CONFIG portion, as shown below. 34557246Seric 34651268SericSimilarly, LOCAL_RULE_0 can be used to introduce new parsing rules. 34751268SericFor example, new rules are needed to parse hostnames that you accept 34851309Sericvia MX records. For example, you might have: 34951268Seric 35051309Seric LOCAL_RULE_0 35151309Seric R$+ < @ cnmat.Berkeley.EDU > $#uucp $@ cnmat $: $1 35251309Seric 35351309SericYou would use this if you had installed an MX record for cnmat.Berkeley.EDU 35451309Sericpointing at this host; this rule catches the message and forwards it on 35551309Sericusing UUCP. 35651309Seric 35757246SericA similar macro is LOCAL_CONFIG. This introduces lines added after the 35857246Sericboilerplate option setting but before rulesets, and can be used to 35957945Sericdeclare local database maps or whatever. For example: 36051268Seric 36157246Seric LOCAL_CONFIG 36257246Seric Khostmap hash /etc/hostmap.db 36357246Seric Kyplocal nis -m hosts.byname 36451220Seric 36558087Seric 36657246Seric+---------------------------+ 36757246Seric| MASQUERADING AND RELAYING | 36857246Seric+---------------------------+ 36957246Seric 37057246SericYou can have your host masquerade as another using 37157246Seric 37257246Seric MASQUERADE_AS(host.domain) 37357246Seric 37457246SericThis causes outgoing SMTP mail to be labelled as coming from the 37557246Sericindicated domain, rather than $j. One normally masquerades as one 37657246Sericof your own subdomains (for example, it's unlikely that I would 37757246Sericchoose to masquerade as an MIT site). 37857246Seric 37957246Sericthere are always users that need to be "exposed" -- that is, their 38057246Sericinternal site name should be displayed instead of the masquerade name. 38157246SericRoot is an example. You can add users to this list using 38257246Seric 38357246Seric EXPOSED_USER(usernames) 38457246Seric 38557246SericThis adds users to class E; you could also use something like 38657246Seric 38757246Seric FE/etc/sendmail.cE 38857246Seric 38957246SericYou can also arrange to relay all unqualified names (that is, names 39057246Sericwithout @host) to a relay host. For example, if you have a central 39157246Sericemail server, you might relay to that host so that users don't have 39257246Sericto have .forward files or aliases. You can do this using 39357246Seric 39458071Seric define(`LOCAL_RELAY', mailer:hostname) 39557246Seric 39658071SericThe ``mailer:'' can be omitted, in which case the mailer defaults to 39758071Seric"smtp". There are some user names that you don't want relayed, perhaps 39858071Sericbecause of local aliases. A common example is root, which may be 39958071Sericlocally aliased. You can add entries to this list using 40057246Seric 40157246Seric LOCAL_USER(usernames) 40257246Seric 40357246SericThis adds users to class L; you could also use something like 40457246Seric 40557246Seric FL/etc/sendmail.cL 40657246Seric 40757591SericIf you want all mail sent to a centralized hub, as for a shared 40857591Seric/var/spool/mail scheme, use 40957591Seric 41058071Seric define(`MAIL_HUB', mailer:hostname) 41157591Seric 41258071SericAgain, ``mailer:'' defaults to "smtp". If you define both LOCAL_RELAY 41358071Sericand MAIL_HUB, unqualified names and names in class L will be sent to 41458071Sericthe LOCAL_RELAY and other local names will be sent to MAIL_HUB. For 41558071Sericexample, if are on machine mastodon.CS.Berkeley.EDU, the following 41658071Sericcombinations of settings will have the indicated effects: 41757591Seric 41857591Sericemail sent to.... eric eric@mastodon.CS.Berkeley.EDU 41957591Seric 42057591SericLOCAL_RELAY set to mail.CS.Berkeley.EDU (delivered locally) 42157591Sericmail.CS.Berkeley.EDU 42257591Seric 42357591SericMAIL_HUB set to mammoth.CS.Berkeley.EDU mammoth.CS.Berkeley.EDU 42457591Sericmammoth.CS.Berkeley.EDU 42557591Seric 42657591SericBoth LOCAL_RELAY and mail.CS.Berkeley.EDU mammoth.CS.Berkeley.EDU 42757591SericMAIL_HUB set as above 42857591Seric 42958071Seric 43058071Seric+-------------------------------+ 43158071Seric| NON-SMTP BASED CONFIGURATIONS | 43258071Seric+-------------------------------+ 43358071Seric 43458071SericThese configuration files are designed primarily for use by SMTP-based 43558071Sericsites. I don't pretend that they are well tuned for UUCP-only or 43658071SericUUCP-primarily nodes (the latter is defined as a small local net 43758071Sericconnected to the rest of the world via UUCP). However, there is one 43858071Serichook to handle some special cases. 43958071Seric 44058071SericYou can define a ``smart host'' that understands a richer address syntax 44158071Sericusing: 44258071Seric 44358071Seric define(`SMART_HOST', mailer:hostname) 44458071Seric 44558071SericIn this case, the ``mailer:'' defaults to "suucp". Any messages that 44658071Sericcan't be handled using the usual UUCP rules are passed to this host. 44758071Seric 44858071SericIf you are on a local SMTP-based net that connects to the outside 44958071Sericworld via UUCP, you can use LOCAL_NET_CONFIG to add appropriate rules. 45058071SericFor example: 45158071Seric 45258071Seric define(`SMART_HOST', suucp:uunet) 45358071Seric LOCAL_NET_CONFIG 45458071Seric R$* < @ $* .$m > $* $#smtp $@ $2.$m $: $1 < @ $2.$m > $3 45558071Seric 45658071SericThis will cause all names that end in your domain name ($m) via 45758071SericSMTP; anything else will be sent via suucp (smart UUCP) to uunet. 45858071Seric 45958071Seric 460*58363Seric+------------------+ 461*58363Seric| FlexFAX SOFTWARE | 462*58363Seric+------------------+ 463*58363Seric 464*58363SericSam Leffler's FlexFAX software is still in beta test -- but he expects a 465*58363Sericpublic version out "later this week" [as of 3/1/93].

To find out more about the ftpmail 493*58363Seric service, send a message to "ftpmail@gatekeeper.dec.com" whose body 494*58363Seric consists of the single line "help". 495*58363Seric 496*58363Seric Internal to Silicon Graphics there are inst'able images on the host 497*58363Seric flake.asd in the directory /d/dist. Thus you can do something like: 498*58363Seric 499*58363Seric % inst -f flake.asd.sgi.com:/d/dist/flexfax 500*58363Seric 501*58363Seric to install the software on your machine. 502*58363Seric 503*58363Seric The external distributions come in a compressed or uncompressed tar 504*58363Seric file. To extract the source distribution: 505*58363Seric 506*58363Seric % zcat v2.1beta.tar.Z | tar xf - 507*58363Seric 508*58363Seric (uncompress and extract individual files in current directory). To 509*58363Seric unpack and install the client portion of the inst'able distribution: 510*58363Seric 511*58363Seric % mkdir dist 512*58363Seric % cd dist; tar xf ../v2.1beta.inst.tar; cd .. 513*58363Seric % inst -f dist/flexfax 514*58363Seric ... 515*58363Seric inst> go 516*58363Seric 517*58363Seric (Note, the dist subdirectory is because some versions of inst fail if 518*58363Seric the files are in the current directory.) Server binaries is also 519*58363Seric included in the inst'able images as flexfax.server.*. It is not 520*58363Seric installed by default, so to get it also you need to extract the do: 521*58363Seric 522*58363Seric % inst -f flexfax 523*58363Seric ... 524*58363Seric inst> install flexfax.server.* 525*58363Seric inst> go 526*58363Seric 527*58363Seric The SGI binaries were built for Version 4.0.5 of the IRIX operating 528*58363Seric system. They should work w/o problem on earlier versions of the 529*58363Seric system, but I have not fully tested this. Also, note that to install a 530*58363Seric server on an SGI machine, you need to have installed the Display 531*58363Seric PostScript execution environment product (dps_eoe). Otherwise, the fax 532*58363Seric server will not be able to convert PostScript to facsimile for 533*58363Seric transmission. 534*58363Seric 535*58363Seric If you are working from the source distribution, look at the file README 536*58363Seric in the top of the source tree. If you are working from the inst images, 537*58363Seric you need to run faxaddmodem to setup and configure your fax modem.
