151220Seric 251220Seric 357246Seric NEW SENDMAIL CONFIGURATION FILES 451220Seric 557246Seric Eric Allman <eric@CS.Berkeley.EDU> 651220Seric 7*58526Seric @(#)README 6.12 (Berkeley) 03/06/93 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 20258408SericYou do not have to define a domain -- in particular, if you are a 20358408Sericsingle machine sitting off somewhere, it is probably more work than 20458408Sericit's worth. This is just a mechanism for combining "domain dependent 20558408Sericknowledge" into one place. 20658408Seric 20757246Seric+---------+ 20857246Seric| MAILERS | 20957246Seric+---------+ 21057246Seric 21151220SericThere are fewer mailers supported in this version than the previous 21251220Sericversion, owing mostly to a simpler world. 21351220Seric 21451220Sericlocal The local and prog mailers. You will almost always 21551220Seric need these; the only exception is if you relay ALL 21657247Seric your mail to another site. This mailer is included 21757247Seric automatically. 21851220Seric 21951220Sericsmtp The Simple Mail Transport Protocol mailer. This does 22051220Seric not hide hosts behind a gateway or another other 22151220Seric such hack; it assumes a world where everyone is 22251220Seric running the name server. 22351220Seric 22451220Sericuucp The Unix-to-Unix Copy Program mailer. Actually, this 22551220Seric defines two mailers, "uucp" and "suucp". The latter 22651220Seric is for when you know that the UUCP mailer at the other 22751220Seric end can handle multiple recipients in one transfer. 22857246Seric When you invoke this, sendmail looks for all names in 22957246Seric the $=U class and sends them to the uucp mailer; all 23057246Seric names in the $=Y class are sent to suucp. Note that 23157246Seric this is a function of what version of rmail runs on 23257246Seric the receiving end, and hence may be out of your control. 23351220Seric 23458087Sericusenet Usenet (network news) delivery. If this is specified, 23558087Seric an extra rule is added to ruleset 0 that forwards all 23658087Seric local email for users named ``group.usenet'' to the 23758087Seric ``inews'' program. Note that this works for all groups, 23858087Seric and may be considered a security problem. 23958087Seric 24058363Sericfax Facsimile transmission. This is experimental and based 24158363Seric on Sam Leffler's FlexFAX software. For more information, 24258363Seric see below. 24358087Seric 24458363Seric 24557246Seric+----------+ 24657246Seric| FEATURES | 24757246Seric+----------+ 24851268Seric 24957246SericSpecial features can be requested using the "FEATURE" macro. For 25057246Sericexample, the .mc line: 25157246Seric 25257246Seric FEATURE(use_cw_file) 25357246Seric 25457246Serictells sendmail that you want to have it read an /etc/sendmail.cw 25557246Sericfile to get values for class $=w. Available features are: 25657246Seric 25757246Sericuse_cw_file Read the file /etc/sendmail.cw file to get alternate 25857246Seric names for this host. This might be used if you were 25957246Seric on a host that MXed for a dynamic set of other 26057246Seric hosts. If the set is static, just including the line 26157246Seric "Cw<name1> <name2> ..." is probably superior. 26258408Seric The actual filename can be overridden by redefining 26358408Seric confCW_FILE. 26458087Sericredirect Reject all mail addressed to "address.REDIRECT" with 26558087Seric a ``551 User not local; please try <address>'' message. 26658087Seric If this is set, you can alias people who have left 26758087Seric to their new address with ".REDIRECT" appended. 26858284Sericnouucp Don't do anything special with UUCP addresses at all. 269*58526Sericnotsticky By default, email sent to "user@local.host" are marked 270*58526Seric as "sticky" -- that is, the local addresses aren't 271*58526Seric matched against UDB and don't go through ruleset 5. 272*58526Seric This features disables this treatment. It would 273*58526Seric normally be used on network gateway machines. 27457246Seric 27557246SericOther FEATUREs should be defined, but I was trying to keep these 27657246Sericconfig files fairly lean and mean. 27757246Seric 27858087Seric 27957246Seric+-------+ 28057246Seric| HACKS | 28157246Seric+-------+ 28257246Seric 28357246SericSome things just can't be called features. To make this clear, 28457247Sericthey go in the hack subdirectory and are referenced using the HACK 28557246Sericmacro. These will tend to be site-dependent. The release 28657246Sericincludes the Berkeley-dependent "cssubdomain" hack (that makes 28757246Sericsendmail accept local names in either Berkeley.EDU or CS.Berkeley.EDU; 28857246Sericthis is intended as a short-term aid while we move hosts into 28957246Sericsubdomains. 29057246Seric 29158087Seric 29257246Seric+--------------------+ 29357246Seric| SITE CONFIGURATION | 29457246Seric+--------------------+ 29557246Seric 29657246SericComplex sites will need more local configuration information, such as 29757246Sericlists of UUCP hosts they speak with directly. This can get a bit more 29857246Serictricky. For an example of a "complex" site, see cf/ucbvax.mc. 29957246Seric 30057246SericThe SITECONFIG macro allows you to indirectly reference site-dependent 30157246Sericconfiguration information stored in the siteconfig subdirectory. For 30257246Sericexample, the line 30357246Seric 30457246Seric SITECONFIG(uucp.ucbvax, ucbvax, U) 30557246Seric 30657246Sericreads the file uucp.ucbvax for local connection information. The 30757246Sericsecond parameter is the local name (in this case just "ucbvax" since 30857246Sericit is locally connected, and hence a UUCP hostname) and the name of 30957246Sericthe class in which to store the host information. Another SITECONFIG 31057246Sericline reads 31157246Seric 31257246Seric SITECONFIG(uucp.ucbarpa, ucbarpa.Berkeley.EDU, W) 31357246Seric 31457246SericThis says that the file uucp.ucbarpa contains the list of UUCP sites 31557246Sericconnected to ucbarpa.Berkeley.EDU. The $=W class will be used to 31657246Sericstore this list. [The machine ucbarpa is gone now, but I've left 31757246Sericthis out-of-date configuration file around to demonstrate how you 31857246Sericmight do this.] 31957246Seric 32057246SericThe siteconfig file (e.g., siteconfig/uucp.ucbvax.m4) contains nothing 32157246Sericmore than a sequence of SITE macros describing connectivity. For 32257246Sericexample: 32357246Seric 32457246Seric SITE(cnmat) 32557246Seric SITE(sgi olympus) 32657246Seric 32757246SericThe second example demonstrates that you can use two names on the 32857246Sericsame line; these are usually aliases for the same host (or are at 32957246Sericleast in the same company). 33057246Seric 33158087Seric 33257246Seric+-------------------+ 33357246Seric| TWEAKING RULESETS | 33457246Seric+-------------------+ 33557246Seric 33651268SericFor more complex configurations, you can define special rules. 33751268SericThe macro LOCAL_RULE_3 introduces rules that are used in canonicalizing 33851268Sericthe names. Any modifications made here are reflected in the header. 33951268Seric 34051268SericA common use is to convert old UUCP addreses to SMTP addresses using 34151268Sericthe UUCPSMTP macro. For example: 34251268Seric 34351268Seric LOCAL_RULE_3 34451268Seric UUCPSMTP(decvax, decvax.dec.com) 34551268Seric UUCPSMTP(research, research.att.com) 34651268Seric 34751268Sericwill cause addresses of the form "decvax!user" and "research!user" 34851268Sericto be converted to "user@decvax.dec.com" and "user@research.att.com" 34951268Sericrespectively. 35051268Seric 35157246SericThis could also be used to look hosts in a database map: 35257246Seric 35357246Seric LOCAL_RULE_3 35457246Seric R$* < @ $+ > $* $: $1 < @ $(hostmap $2 $) > $3 35557246Seric 35657246SericThis map would be defined in the LOCAL_CONFIG portion, as shown below. 35757246Seric 35851268SericSimilarly, LOCAL_RULE_0 can be used to introduce new parsing rules. 35951268SericFor example, new rules are needed to parse hostnames that you accept 36051309Sericvia MX records. For example, you might have: 36151268Seric 36251309Seric LOCAL_RULE_0 36351309Seric R$+ < @ cnmat.Berkeley.EDU > $#uucp $@ cnmat $: $1 36451309Seric 36551309SericYou would use this if you had installed an MX record for cnmat.Berkeley.EDU 36651309Sericpointing at this host; this rule catches the message and forwards it on 36751309Sericusing UUCP. 36851309Seric 36957246SericA similar macro is LOCAL_CONFIG. This introduces lines added after the 37057246Sericboilerplate option setting but before rulesets, and can be used to 37157945Sericdeclare local database maps or whatever. For example: 37251268Seric 37357246Seric LOCAL_CONFIG 37457246Seric Khostmap hash /etc/hostmap.db 37557246Seric Kyplocal nis -m hosts.byname 37651220Seric 37758087Seric 37857246Seric+---------------------------+ 37957246Seric| MASQUERADING AND RELAYING | 38057246Seric+---------------------------+ 38157246Seric 38257246SericYou can have your host masquerade as another using 38357246Seric 38457246Seric MASQUERADE_AS(host.domain) 38557246Seric 38657246SericThis causes outgoing SMTP mail to be labelled as coming from the 38757246Sericindicated domain, rather than $j. One normally masquerades as one 38857246Sericof your own subdomains (for example, it's unlikely that I would 38957246Sericchoose to masquerade as an MIT site). 39057246Seric 39157246Sericthere are always users that need to be "exposed" -- that is, their 39257246Sericinternal site name should be displayed instead of the masquerade name. 39357246SericRoot is an example. You can add users to this list using 39457246Seric 39557246Seric EXPOSED_USER(usernames) 39657246Seric 39757246SericThis adds users to class E; you could also use something like 39857246Seric 39957246Seric FE/etc/sendmail.cE 40057246Seric 40157246SericYou can also arrange to relay all unqualified names (that is, names 40257246Sericwithout @host) to a relay host. For example, if you have a central 40357246Sericemail server, you might relay to that host so that users don't have 40457246Sericto have .forward files or aliases. You can do this using 40557246Seric 40658071Seric define(`LOCAL_RELAY', mailer:hostname) 40757246Seric 40858071SericThe ``mailer:'' can be omitted, in which case the mailer defaults to 40958071Seric"smtp". There are some user names that you don't want relayed, perhaps 41058071Sericbecause of local aliases. A common example is root, which may be 41158071Sericlocally aliased. You can add entries to this list using 41257246Seric 41357246Seric LOCAL_USER(usernames) 41457246Seric 41557246SericThis adds users to class L; you could also use something like 41657246Seric 41757246Seric FL/etc/sendmail.cL 41857246Seric 41957591SericIf you want all mail sent to a centralized hub, as for a shared 42057591Seric/var/spool/mail scheme, use 42157591Seric 42258071Seric define(`MAIL_HUB', mailer:hostname) 42357591Seric 42458071SericAgain, ``mailer:'' defaults to "smtp".

I don't pretend that they are well tuned for UUCP-only or 44858071SericUUCP-primarily nodes (the latter is defined as a small local net 44958071Sericconnected to the rest of the world via UUCP). However, there is one 45058071Serichook to handle some special cases. 45158071Seric 45258071SericYou can define a ``smart host'' that understands a richer address syntax 45358071Sericusing: 45458071Seric 45558071Seric define(`SMART_HOST', mailer:hostname) 45658071Seric 45758071SericIn this case, the ``mailer:'' defaults to "suucp". Any messages that 45858071Sericcan't be handled using the usual UUCP rules are passed to this host. 45958071Seric 46058071SericIf you are on a local SMTP-based net that connects to the outside 46158071Sericworld via UUCP, you can use LOCAL_NET_CONFIG to add appropriate rules. 46258071SericFor example: 46358071Seric 46458071Seric define(`SMART_HOST', suucp:uunet) 46558071Seric LOCAL_NET_CONFIG 46658071Seric R$* < @ $* .$m > $* $#smtp $@ $2.$m $: $1 < @ $2.$m > $3 46758071Seric 46858071SericThis will cause all names that end in your domain name ($m) via 46958071SericSMTP; anything else will be sent via suucp (smart UUCP) to uunet. 47058071Seric 47158071Seric 47258363Seric+------------------+ 47358363Seric| FlexFAX SOFTWARE | 47458363Seric+------------------+ 47558363Seric 47658363SericSam Leffler's FlexFAX software is still in beta test -- but he expects a 47758363Sericpublic version out "later this week" [as of 3/1/93].

To find out more about the ftpmail 50558363Seric service, send a message to "ftpmail@gatekeeper.dec.com" whose body 50658363Seric consists of the single line "help". 50758363Seric 50858363Seric Internal to Silicon Graphics there are inst'able images on the host 50958363Seric flake.asd in the directory /d/dist. Thus you can do something like: 51058363Seric 51158363Seric % inst -f flake.asd.sgi.com:/d/dist/flexfax 51258363Seric 51358363Seric to install the software on your machine. 51458363Seric 51558363Seric The external distributions come in a compressed or uncompressed tar 51658363Seric file. To extract the source distribution: 51758363Seric 51858363Seric % zcat v2.1beta.tar.Z | tar xf - 51958363Seric 52058363Seric (uncompress and extract individual files in current directory).

Server binaries is also 53158363Seric included in the inst'able images as flexfax.server.*.

They should work w/o problem on earlier versions of the 54158363Seric system, but I have not fully tested this. Also, note that to install a 54258363Seric server on an SGI machine, you need to have installed the Display 54358363Seric PostScript execution environment product (dps_eoe). Otherwise, the fax 54458363Seric server will not be able to convert PostScript to facsimile for 54558363Seric transmission. 54658363Seric 54758363Seric If you are working from the source distribution, look at the file README 54858363Seric in the top of the source tree. If you are working from the inst images, 54958363Seric you need to run faxaddmodem to setup and configure your fax modem. Do 55058363Seric man faxaddmodem for more information. 55158363Seric 55258363SericAlso from Sam: 55358363Seric 55458363Seric A mailing list for users of this software is located on sgi.com. 55558363Seric If you want to join this mailing list or have a list-related request 55658363Seric such as getting your name removed from it, send a request to 55758363Seric 55858363Seric flexfax-request@sgi.com 55958363Seric 56058363Seric Submissions (including bug reports) should be directed to: 56158363Seric 56258363Seric flexfax@sgi.com 56358363Seric 56458363Seric 56557945Seric+--------------------------------+ 56657945Seric| TWEAKING CONFIGURATION OPTIONS | 56757945Seric+--------------------------------+ 56857945Seric 56957945SericThere are a large number of configuration options that don't normally 57057945Sericneed to be changed.
