Hi !
I have to re-configure sendmail, because the mail system on one server does
not forward any mails with special signs, such as German a-, o-, and
u-umlauts and French accented vowels. Since this is Switzerland (Europe), we
have to deal with these vowels in mail text bodies, but not in the address
or subject lines. Now I was told to configure sendmail like so (to be
compatible with our other platforms):
Options:
- "mime compliant"
- "quoted printable"
Unfortunately, I was not asked to select any such options during
"mailsetup". Where else should I put these options in?
On the other hand, I have one /var/adm/senmdail/sendmail.cf file that is
working fine on another Tru64 system (a Web-Server). I think I'm not
supposed to just copy this file on a quite different system, though this is
the usual work-around.
>From what I gathered, the following lines appear to be crucial:
"
# strip message body to 7 bits on input?
O SevenBitInput=False
# 8-bit data handling
O EightBitMode=pass8
"
Is there anybody out there who can help ?
Thank you in advance.
