24.3.2 Disclaimer Channel Definition and Rewrite Rules

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


disclaimer 
DISCLAIMER-DAEMON 

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


disclaimer                    $U%disclaimer.localhostname@DISCLAIMER-DAEMON 
disclaimer.localhostname      $U%disclaimer.localhostname@DISCLAIMER-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@disclaimer.localhostname
are routed through the disclaimer channel regardless of what the DISCLAIMER mapping says.

Additional disclaimer_* channels may be defined, for example to allow for different disclaimer text to be added to messages coming from different source channels or headed for different destination channels. For example:


disclaimer_2 
DISCLAIMER2-DAEMON 

These alternate disclaimer channels are generally selected using the DISCLAIMER mapping table Channel keyword (see Table 24-11). If desired, you may also create separate rewrite rules for each of these alternate disclaimer channels, similar to the ones shown above.

Note

A channel named disclaimer must be defined to enable disclaimer channel processing. This channel is used as the default disclaimer channel.
