To perform delivery, sendmail often has to set its uid to something other than root 's. The logic behind that process is described in Section 12.2.2. The -d11.2 debugging switch tells sendmail to print the real and effective user-id s that it is running under during delivery: openmailer: running as r/euid= real-user-id/effective-user-id Also, the -d11.2 debugging switch causes sendmail to print any error response that might be produced by a delivery agent: giveresponse: stat= status , e->e_message= what Here, status is the number of the error that caused delivery to fail (or succeed if it is 0) as defined in <sysexits.h >. The what is either the error message produced by the delivery agent, or "<NULL>" if the delivery agent was silent. |
