There are a fairly large number of debug flags
built into
sendmail. Each debug flag has a number and a level,
where higher levels means to print out more information.
The convention is that levels greater than nine are
absurd, i.e.,
they print out so much information that you wouldn't normally
want to see them except for debugging that particular piece of code.
Debug flags are set using the
-d option;
the syntax is:
debug-flag: -d debug-list
debug-list: debug-option [ , debug-option ]*
debug-option: debug-range [ . debug-level ]
debug-range: integer | integer - integer
debug-level: integer
where spaces are for reading ease only.
For example,
- -d12 Set flag 12 to level 1
-d12.3 Set flag 12 to level 3
-d3-17 Set flags 3 through 17 to level 1
-d3-17.4 Set flags 3 through 17 to level 4
For a complete list of the available debug flags
you will have to look at the code
(they are too dynamic to keep this documentation up to date).
