Sendmail has various map types, the best known of which is the Berkeley DB map that typically implements access, mailertable, etc. Sendmail 8.13+ has provisions for a network protocol to do map lookups over sockets instead of doing Berkeley DB lookups. In theory, this lets you do cool things, but we found in practice the performance hit was very high. If you don't know what SOCKETMAP is, you're almost certainly not using it. :) Regards, Dianne. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
