PMDF System Manager's Guide

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 22-11). If desired, you may also create separate rewrite rules for each of these alternate disclaimer channels, similar to the ones shown above.
