- <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.
