- Important information to config file handling:
- ==============================================
- The latest version of the sendmail package for Vine Linux now uses the new and
- recommended way of separating sendmail into two applications, one for email
- delivery, the other for email reception. The former doesn't need to run as root
- and uses a separate configuration file, called /etc/mail/submit.cf. The later
- only provides email reception functionalty and, as before, uses
- /etc/mail/sendmail.cf as it's configuration file.
- The resons for spliting sendmail into two separate applications and how to use
- it is described in more detail in /usr/share/doc/sendmail/SECURITY.
- !Note!
- ======
- New in the latest package now is also that the configuration files will be
- automatically updated after a restart if the corresponding mc files in
- /etc/mail have been modified so changes done to the sendmail.cf and submit.cf
- file will be lost if not done in the respective sendmail.mc and submit.mc
- files, too.
