<b>NAME</b><br>
AdvanceWrite - slow.conf configuration item
<p>
<b>SYNOPSIS</b><br>
<code><ul>
AdvanceWrite = [true | false]
</ul></code>
<p>
<b>DESCRIPTION</b><br>
The AdvanceWrite slow.conf configuration item determines if
an illegal pipe is attempted. The check is made just after the
SMTP HELO/EHLO command is receive and before acknowledging that command.
If pending input is detected, the ${illegalpipe} macro is set
to true, otherwise it is set to false. That macro is then passed
to the Milter.
<p>
If this AdvanceWrite slow.conf configuration item is declared as
true (or if it is omitted which defaults to true), the Milter
will check to see if ${illegalpipe} is true, and if so, will set
the <b>pip</b> event (as described in the
<a href="../slowedit/events.html">standard event set</a>).
<p>
If this AdvanceWrite slow.conf configuration item is false, this
check is skipped.
<p>
For this check to happen two things must be set up first:
<ol>
<li>Your sendmail mc configuration file must have this line
added to it:
<ul><code>
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_HELO', confMILTER_MACROS_HELO``, {illegalpipe}'')
</code></ul>
</li>
<li>You must install the <a href="../patch.html">correct patch</a>
must be installed to sendmail.</li>
</ol>
There is now harm if these steps are omitted. Even if AdvanceWrite is
set to true, the lookup of ${illegalpipe} will fail, causing this
check to be ignored.
