If invoked as __newaliases__ , __sendmail__ will rebuild the alias database. If invoked as __mailq__ , __sendmail__ will print the contents of the mail queue. If invoked as __hoststat__ , __sendmail__ will print the persistent host status database. If invoked as __purgestat__ , __sendmail__ will purge expired entries from the persistent host status database. If invoked as __smtpd__ , __sendmail__ will act as a daemon, as if the __-bd__ option were specified.
!!NOTES
-__sendmail__ often gets blamed for many problems that are actually the result of other problems, such as overly permissive modes on directories. For this reason, __sendmail__ checks the modes on system directories and files to determine if they can be trusted. Although these checks can be turned off and your system security reduced by setting the __DontBlameSendmail__ option, the permission problems should be fixed. For more information, see: ''http://www.sendmail.org/tips/!DontBlameSendmail.html''
