The confSTDIR macro defines the location
(directory) where the sendmail
program's statistics file will be found (see Section 5.4.1 for a description of this file). The
confSTDIR macro assigns its value to the STDIR
Makefile directive. It is very unlikely that you
will ever have to change this from the value that is predefined for
you in your devtools/OS file. But one reason to
relocate this file would be the need to locate it on a read/write
disk, where /etc/mail is mounted read-only:
define(`confSTDIR', `/var/run/statistics')
Note that, if you redefine this directory, you must also redefine the
STATUS_FILE configuration macro (Section 5.4.1) so
that the correct path appears in your
sendmail.cf file's
StatusFile option.
Also note that -E DESTDIR (See this section) can be used
to relocate all installation directories.
