Mine does, albeit in brief: -bt Run in address test mode. This mode reads addresses and shows the steps in parsing; it is used for debugging configuration tables. Bat book has more info (although the second edition is very out-of-date these days) or sendmail.* for the docs. Basically, you can type in rule sets and addresses and see the sendmail processing results. .cf version is here: # grep ^DZ /etc/mail/sendmail.cf > In fact, when I telnet localhost 25 I am told that my .cf file is out of > date, but can't figure out where to turn for a generic one for 8.12.2 > > P.S.
