By default, sendmail reads the IP address and hostnames of local network
interfaces into class 'w'.
M4 Variable Name Configuration Description & [Default]
================ ============= =======================
confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES DontProbeInterfaces
[False] If set, sendmail will _not_
insert the names and addresses of any
local interfaces into class {w}
(list of known "equivalent" addresses).
If you set this, you must also include
some support for these addresses (e.g.,
in a mailertable entry) -- otherwise,
mail to addresses in this list will
bounce with a configuration error.
