- The <filename>/etc/sysconfig/sendmail</filename> file allows messages to be sent to one or more clients, routing the messages over whatever networks are necessary. The file sets the default values for the <application>Sendmail</application> application to run. Its default values are set to run as a background daemon and to check its queue each hour in case something has backed up.
+ The <filename>/etc/sysconfig/sendmail</filename> is used to set the default values for the <application>Sendmail</application> application. By default, it contains the following values:
</para>
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>DAEMON=<replaceable>boolean</replaceable></option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ A boolean to enable (<option>yes</option>) or disable (<option>no</option>) running <command>sendmail</command> as a daemon. For example:
+ </para>
+ <screen>DAEMON=yes</screen>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>QUEUE=<replaceable>value</replaceable></option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The interval at which the messages are to be processed. For example:
+ </para>
