27.7.2 Reprocess 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.d See the appropriate edition of the PMDF Installation Guide for instructions on using the configuration utility.

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

reprocess 
REPROCESS-DAEMON 

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

reprocess                     $U%reprocess.localhostname
reprocess.localhostname       $U%reprocess.localhostname@REPROCESS-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@reprocess.localhostname
will be routed through the reprocessing channel.


Note

d Configurations generated prior to PMDF V5.0 did not automatically include a reprocessing channel.
