PMDF System Manager's Guide

The first step is to add the script channel to the PMDF configuration file. The entry should have the form:

script SCRIPT-DAEMON

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

script $U%script.localhostname@SCRIPT-DAEMON script.localhostname $U%script.localhostname@SCRIPT-DAEMON

where localhostname is the name of the local PMDF system, provides the necessary functionality. Once this is done, addresses of the form

user%host@script.localhostname

are routed through the script channel regardless of what the SCRIPT mapping says.

Additional script_* channels may be defined, for example to allow for different command procedures or scripts to be run for different source or destination channels. For example:

script_2 SCRIPT2-DAEMON

These alternate script channels are generally selected using the SCRIPT mapping table Channel keyword (see Table 24-7). If desired, you may also create separate rewrite rules for each of these alternate script channels, similar to the ones shown above.
