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.
