V8.12.6 sendmail
introduced one new
Build
m4-macro that arrived too late for
inclusion in the third edition of the sendmail
book: the confMSP_STFILE
Build
m4-macro (Section 2.1.1
[V8.13]).
Beginning with V8.12.6 sendmail, the
confMSP_STFILE
Build
macro
may be used to define a new name under which the
statistics file
(24.9.106[3ed]) used by the MSP
(2.6.2.4[3ed]) invocation of
sendmail
can be installed.
It is used like this:
define(`confMSP_STFILE´, `mspstats´)
Here, a statistics file with the new name mspstats
will be installed in the default directory
/var/spool/clientmqueue
(unless you redefine the
default directory using the confMSP_QUEUE_DIR
(2.8.37[3ed]) Build
macro). The default name for this statistics file is
sm-client.st
.
Note that if you rename this MSP statistics file, you will also have
to redefine the StatusFile
option
(24.9.106[3ed]) in the
submit.cf
file (2.6.2.4[3ed]) to reflect the new
name. The proper way to modify that file is to
first edit the cf/cf/submit.mc
file in the
source distribution and then to regenerate a new
submit.cf file, like this:
#cd cf/cf
... edit the submit.mc file here #make install-submit-cf
... the submit.cf file is recreated and installed
Or, run make
submit.cf
rather
than make
install-submit-cf if
you want to check the result before installation.
See also the mailstats
program and its
-c
command-line switch
(5.4.4.1[3ed]), which is used to print the
contents of this statistics file.
