Description

Test a MS Mail channel's transformation of an address or time.

Command Qualifiers

-822tolan (default)

-lanto822

The testing process can test conversion of RFC 822 addresses to MS Mail format, -822tolan, or test conversion of MS Mail format addresses to RFC 822 format, -lanto822.

-backward

-forward (default)

The testing process can test conversion of backwards or forwards pointing addresses; the default is forward pointing addresses.

-channel=channel-name

Different MS Mail channels may be configured to perform different transformations. The default is to test the ff_local channel.

-debug

-nodebug (default)

The testing process is capable of producing detailed processing information. The -debug qualifier enables this output; it is disabled by default.

-envelope

-header (default)

The testing process can test envelope or header addresses; the default is header addresses.

-time

The testing process by default tests address transformations, but the -time qualifier specifies that it should instead test time transformations.

EXAMPLES

% pmdf test -ff adam@msmail.example.com
CSI:EXAMPLE/HQ/ADAM

CSI:EXAMPLE/ADMIN/CARL 
% pmdf test -ff service@example.com
SMTP:SERVICE@EXAMPLE.COM 
      

This UNIX example shows testing a ff_local channel's transformation of several addresses. The output shown corresponds to a ff_local channel with the official host name msmail.example.com and with the channel option settings FF_DEFAULT_NETWORK=EXAMPLE and FF_DEFAULT_POSTOFFICE=HQ.
