Sendmail acts a unified "post office" to which all mail can be submitted.
|
|
Address interpretation is controlled by a production system, which can
|
|
parse both domain-based addressing and old-style "ad hoc" addresses.
|
|
The production system is powerful enough to rewrite addresses in the message
|
|
header to conform to the standards of a number of common target networks,
|
|
including old (NCP/RFC733) Arpanet, new (TCP/RFC822) Arpanet, UUCP, and
|
|
Phonenet. Sendmail also implements an SMTP server, message queueing, and
|
|
aliasing.
