27.7.1 Process channel definition and rewrite rules

If your configuration was generated by the PMDF configuration utility, then you do not need to add a reprocessing channel to your configuration: this was done automatically for you by that utility.c See the appropriate edition of the PMDF Installation Guide for instructions on using the configuration utility.

The first step in installing a processing channel is to insert the channel entry in PMDF's configuration file. The entry should have the form:

process 
PROCESS-DAEMON 

Rewrite rules can be added if desired to make it possible to queue mail explicitly to the processing channel. Something like

process                     $U%process.localhostname
process.localhostname       $U%process.localhostname@PROCESS-DAEMON 
where localhostname is the name of the local PMDF system will provide the necessary functionality. Once this is done any address of the form
user%host@process.localhostname
will be routed through the processing channel.


Note

c Configurations generated prior to PMDF V5.2 did not automatically include a processing channel.
