localuser
, nolocaluser
) When someone on the local system sends a message that PMDF routes via Jnet or ANJE that user's username is used in the user part of the message tag. NJE status and log messages produced as the message traverses the network will then be sent back to the originating user. This can be annoying, and some sites may wish to suppress these messages.
The nolocaluser
keyword, when specified in a Jnet or ANJE
channel block, inhibits the use of usernames as the user tag. The name
used in the tag is then controlled with the user
keyword,
described in the PMDF System Manager's Guide . The localuser
keyword
enables this usage and is the default.
The nolocaluser
keyword has no effect on non-Jnet or ANJE
channels and also has no effect on messages that originated on a system
other than the local system.
Note:
Using thenolocaluser
keyword may have side effects. Some systems object to messages whose user tag does not match the sender's address. In particular, use of thenolocaluser
keyword on BITNET systems which have not registered their mailer name is not recommended; such systems are considered untrustworthy in the BITNET community.
