Re: [cobalt-developers] ETRN & Sendmail on RAQ3

[Taco Scargo - Sun Holland - Leiden]

Hi Peter,

> Will the RAQ3 accept ETRN commands?
Not out of the box, you need to make changes to the sendmail.cf file and create 
a so-called mailertable. Also the version of Sendmail that is on the RaQ3 limits 
ETRN use to the esmtp mailer, which - apart from when an ETRN command is 
received - tries to send out the e-mail to the specified host from the 
mailertable whenever a queuerun is scheduled. On a RaQ3 this is every hour. If 
you do not change the warning message timers, the sender will receive a warning 
after 4 hours.

Every hour and when an ETRN command is received. For up to 5 days. Then the 
message will be bounced back to the sender. These timings can all be set in the 
sendmail.cf file.
