access

The ASCII access database map used to accept or reject mail from selected domains. This map is initially empty, which accepts mail from all domains.

access.db

The compiled access database map created by makemap.

aliases

The ASCII aliases database map used to create local mailbox names that do not necessarily correspond one-to-one with local users. Aliases can be defined to deliver mail to multiple users, to files, or to programs. This map initially defines aliases postmaster as SERVER.SENDMAIL and MAILER-DAEMON as postmaster.

aliases.db

The compiled aliases database map created by newaliases.

domaintable

The ASCII domaintable database map used to remap domain names in mail headers. Because the headers are rewritten, you should only use this for your own domains. This map is initially empty, which does no header rewriting.

domaintable.db

The compiled domaintable database map created by makemap.

genericstable

The ASCII genericstable database map used to remap the user and hostname portion of outgoing header addresses. This map is initially empty, which does no reader rewriting.

genericstable.db

The compiled genericstable database map created by makemap.

helpfile

The documentation returned by the SMTP protocol HELP command.

local-host-names

The ASCII file containing hostname aliases (one per line) for the local machine. This file is initially empty, and so incoming e-mail will only be accepted if it is addressed using the true host name of the local machine.

mailertable

The ASCII mailertable database map used to override mail routing for selected domains. This map is initially empty, and so all mail routing is controlled by sendmail.cf.

mailertable.db

The compiled mailertable database map created by makemap.

sendmail.cf

The m4-created configuration file for the mail daemon.

sendmail.pid

The POSIX PID of the currently running mail daemon.

statistics

The binary file used to collect Sendmail traffic statistics.

submit.cf

The m4-created configuration file for new mail submission by the local host.

virtusertable

The ASCII virtusertable database map used to perform domain-specific aliasing and hosting of multiple virtual domains on one machine. This map is initially empty, and so no virtual domain aliases will be recognized.

virtusertable.db

The compiled virtusertable database map created by makemap.
