/etc/smail/qualify − smail hostname qualification configuration
THE QUALIFY FILE
This section details the format and use of the hostname qualification file.
The qualify file defines the domain name(s) to be used in making all hostnames fully-qualified. Note that this file is used only for bare hostnames, i.e. names without dots.
The qualify file uses the standard routine for reading file entries. Each entry should have the form:
hostname domain
stating that the host name hostname should be considered a part of domain domain. As a special case, if the hostname value is the special string ’’*’’, the entry matches any host. This is a catch-all feature which should only be used in the last entry in a qualify file. Typically, UUCP sites should should have an entry like:
* uucp
at the end of the qualify file.
If the qualify file is missing, or if no entry is found that matches a given hostname, then no hostname qualification is performed.
