.Dd October 8, 2010 .Dt MAILER.CONF 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm mailer.conf .Nd configuration file for .Xr mailwrapper 1M .Sh DESCRIPTION The file
a /etc/mailer.conf contains a series of lines of the form
p .Ar name .Ar program .Op Ar arguments ...
p The first word of each line is the .Ar name of a program invoking .Xr mailwrapper 1M . (For example, on a typical system
a /usr/lib/sendmail would be a symbolic link to .Xr mailwrapper 1M , as would .Xr newaliases 1M and .Xr mailq 1 . Thus, .Ar name might be .Dq Li sendmail or .Dq Li newaliases etc.)
p The second word of each line is the name of the .Ar program to actually execute when the first name is invoked.
p The further .Ar arguments , if any, are passed to the .Ar program , followed by the arguments .Xr mailwrapper 1M was called with.
p The file may also contain comment lines, denoted by a .Ql # mark in the first column of any line. .Sh FILES /etc/mail/mailer.conf .Sh EXAMPLES This example shows how to set up .Nm to invoke the traditional .Xr sendmail 1M program: d -literal -offset indent # Execute the "real" sendmail program located in # /usr/lib/smtp/sendmail/sendmail sendmail /usr/lib/smtp/sendmail/sendmail mailq /usr/lib/smtp/sendmail/sendmail newaliases /usr/lib/smtp/sendmail/sendmail .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mail 1 , .Xr mailq 1 , .Xr mailwrapper 1M , .Xr newaliases 1M , .Xr sendmail 1M .Sh AUTHORS .An Perry E.
