Hi

pls give the stands for all this configurations Cw, Fw, DS, DM and CE.

pls explain the purpose of CE.

It sounds like you are talking about different macro configuration lines in the sendmail.cf file.

Have a read through the sendmail and sendmail.cf man pages and see if that answers your questions.

Hello,

Cw -> file to get alternate names for the host

Fw -> file used to get the local additions to
class {w} (local host names)

DS -> smart relay host

DM -> who the host masquerades as

CE -> Masquerading will not occur for the root
by default; CE option can change it

Cheers,
