This appendix provides information about trace flags for debugging the sendmail command. For information about sendmail command syntax and usage, see the sendmail(8) man page.
Several debugging flags are built into sendmail. Each flag includes a number and a level. The number identifies the debugging flag. The level, which defaults to 1, dictates how much information prints. A low level causes minimal information to print; a high level causes more comprehensive information to print. In general, levels greater than 9 cause so much information to print that it is of limited value. Debugging flags use the following syntax:
-d debug-list |
A debug list includes the flag number and the flag level, as shown in the following examples:
Set flag 13 to level 1.
-d13
Set flag 13 to level 3.
-d13.3
Set flags 5 though 18 to level 1.
-d5-18
Set flags 5 through 18 to level 4.
-d5-18.4
Many debugging flags are of little use to the average sendmail user. Some are occasionally useful for helping to track down obscure problems. See the sendmail manpage for a list of common debugging flags.
The following list includes the sendmail debugging flags..
