Sendmail, 3rd Edition

Name

HAS...

Synopsis

Macros that begin with HAS tell sendmail whether your system supports (has) certain system-library routines or variables. In general, you should need to define or undefine the compile-time macros shown in Table 3-3 only if you are porting sendmail to a new system. In that instance you should also read sendmail/README for the latest information and pitfalls.

Each of these is turned on or off with an assignment of 1 or 0:

APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DHASSETSID=1')  ←turn on
APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-DHASSETSID=0')←turn off

“Turning on” tells sendmail that your site has support for this system call (setsid(2) in this instance). “Turning off” tells sendmail to work around the lack of that support. When porting to a new system, you can test with one of the preceding confENVDEF statements and, if successful, put a permanent porting entry into sendmail/conf.h.
