<tr bgcolor="#dddddd"><th>Sent With</th><th>Macros</th></tr>

<p>
All macros stay in effect from the point they are received until the
end of the connection for the first two sets, the end of the message
for the third (xxfi_envfrom), and just for each recipient for the
final set (xxfi_envrcpt).
<p>
The macro list can be changed using the confMILTER_MACROS_* options in
sendmail.mc. The scopes of such macros will be determined by when
they are set by sendmail. For descriptions of macros' values, please
see the "Sendmail Installation and Operation Guide" provided with your
sendmail distribution.
