The first member of each pair is the name 44of a program invoking 45.Xr mailwrapper 8 46which is typically a symbolic link to 47.Pa /usr/sbin/sendmail . 48(On a typical system, 49.Xr newaliases 1 50and 51.Xr mailq 1 52would be set up this way.) 53The second member of each pair is the name of the program to 54actually execute when the first name is invoked. The file may also 55contain comments, denoted by a # mark in the first column of any line. 56.Sh FILES 57/etc/mail/mailer.conf 58.Sh EXAMPLES 59The following is an example of how to set up an 60.Nm 61for traditional sendmail invocation behavior (installed from DPorts) 62.Bd -literal 63# Use sendmail as Mail Transfer Agent 64sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail 65mailq /usr/local/bin/mailq 66newaliases /usr/local/bin/newaliases 67hoststat /usr/local/bin/hoststat 68purgestat /usr/local/bin/purgestat 69.Ed 70.Pp 71This example shows how to invoke a sendmail-workalike like Postfix 72installed from DPorts to replace 73.Xr dma 8 74.Bd -literal 75# Use postfix as Mail Transfer Agent 76sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail 77mailq /usr/local/bin/mailq 78newaliases /usr/local/bin/newaliases 79hoststat /usr/bin/true 80purgestat /usr/bin/true 81.Ed 82.Pp 83This example shows how to invoke a sendmail-workalike like OpenSMTPd 84installed from DPorts to replace 85.Xr dma 8 86.Bd -literal 87# Use opensmtpd as Mail Transfer Agent 88sendmail /usr/local/sbin/smtpctl 89mailq /usr/local/sbin/smtpctl 90newaliases /usr/local/sbin/smtpctl 91hoststat /usr/bin/true 92purgestat /usr/bin/true 93.Ed 94.Pp 95These are the default contents of the file 96.Bd -literal 97# Use dma as Mail Transfer Agent 98sendmail /usr/libexec/dma 99mailq /usr/libexec/dma 100newaliases /usr/libexec/dma 101hoststat /usr/libexec/dma 102purgestat /usr/libexec/dma 103.Ed 104.Sh SEE ALSO 105.Xr mail 1 , 106.Xr mailwrapper 8 107.Sh HISTORY 108.Nm 109appeared in 110.Nx 1.4 . 111.Sh AUTHORS 112.An Perry E.
