MAILER.CONF (5) \| \| Unix Manual Pages \| :man▋ NAME mailer.conf - configuration file for mailwrapper(8) CONTENTS Description Files Examples See Also History Authors Bugs DESCRIPTION The file `/etc/mail/mailer.conf` contains a series of pairs. The first member of each pair is the name of a program invoking mailwrapper(8) which is typically a symbolic link to `/usr/sbin/sendmail`. (On a typical system, newaliases(1) and mailq(1) would be set up this way.) The second member of each pair is the name of the program to actually execute when the first name is invoked. The file may also contain comments, denoted by a # mark in the first column of any line. FILES /etc/mail/mailer.conf EXAMPLES The following is an example of how to set up an mailer.conf for traditional sendmail invocation behavior. # Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail sendmail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail send-mail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail mailq /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail newaliases /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail This example shows how to invoke a sendmail-workalike like Postfix in place of sendmail. # Emulate sendmail using postfix sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail send-mail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail mailq /usr/local/sbin/sendmail newaliases /usr/local/sbin/sendmail SEE ALSO mail(1), mailq(1), newaliases(1), mailwrapper(8), sendmail(8) HISTORY AUTHORS BUGS mailq(1)
