The check_ rule set

syslog equate

When sendmail processes one of the check_ rule sets (Section 7.1), and when the rule set rejects a message, sendmail logs one of the following two messages:

 ... ruleset=  rset  , arg1=  firstarg  , discard  ... ruleset=  rset  , arg1=  firstarg  , reject=  reason  

Here, rset is the name of the rule set called (such as check_mail , Section 7.1.2). The workspace passed to the rule set is indicated by firstarg . When a message is rejected, a reason is passed back to the original envelope sender.
