confMSPQOWN
Owner of the MSP queue Build macro
The non-set-user-id root version
of sendmail used for local mail
submission employs a queue that is separate from
that used by the mail transfer agent (MTA) daemon.
This separate queue is owned by
smmsp (by default). If you
prefer a different owner, you can redefine it with
this confMSPQOWN
Build macro. It is used like
this:
define(`confMSPQOWN', `nullmail') ← define a username define(`confMSPQOWN', `67541') ← define a user by number
If you specify an owner by a positive number that is not too large, it will usually work. If you define a name that is not in the /etc/passwd file (or in a related file such as /etc/master.passwd), the following error will print and the build will fail:
chown: unknown user id: nullmail
