configuration file list. You may edit the following files for a burb:<br />

rebuild the sendmail configuration and database files.<br />

Access Table—This file defines anti-relaying and anti-spamming<br />

policies for the SMTP server.<br />

the mail aliases that are used to redirect e-mail to another person<br />

or location.<br />

Alternate Host Names File—This file identifies alternate host names<br />

by which the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is known. E-mail addressed to any <strong>of</strong><br />

the alternate names is treated as local mail by the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

Domain Table—This file provides a mapping from an old domain<br />

name to a new domain name. For example, you might modify this<br />

file if your organization’s external domain name changes.<br />

Modify this file as needed to account for your site-specific<br />

requirements.<br />

appropriate burb number).<br />
