Ordinarily, sendmail exits silently when it is
done (unless an error causes an error message to be printed). The
-d2.1 (a.k.a. -d2) debugging
switch causes sendmail to print three useful
values when it exits. The message it prints looks like this:
= == =finis: stat number e_id=qid e_flags=flags
The number is the final value of the
sendmail program's global
ExitStat variable. It is usually updated to
contain the latest error value as defined in
<sysexits.h >. See Section 15.5 for a detailed description of the possible
exit values.
The qid is either the queue identifier (such as
g7PI04TK027759) or, NOQUEUE if the message was never assigned an
identifier (if it was never queued, for instance).
The flags is a hexadecimal representation of the
possible envelope flags followed by a text representation of those
flags in angle brackets with the leading EF_
removed. For example:
201003<OLDSTYLE,INQUEUE,GLOBALERRS,HAS_DF>
These are the envelope flags that were in effect with the current
envelope when sendmail exited. The possible
values are shown in Table 16-6.

Note that this line of output is also produced by the
-d13.1, -d40.3, and
-d50.1 debugging switches but under different
circumstances.
