- NAME
- convert - convert the output from pathalias to smail path format
-
- DESCRIPTION
- You have to create a path file for smail. Use your maps to create
- an path file via pathalias -f. This output has to piped through
- convert. Use stdin as input and stdout as output. The output from
- convert have to be sorted.
-
- Use the following CShell line to create your smail path file:
-
- pathalias -f <maps|convert|qsort >paths
-
- MAPS FORMAT
- Normally you should refer to pathalias.man. Here a short example
- for my host:
- ---------------------- snip ----------------------------------
- mavhh=mavhh.hanse.de
- wolfhh=wolfhh.hanse.de
- mavhh wolfhh(DAILY)
- ---------------------- snip ----------------------------------
- My only host is wolfhh and it get all mails from me.
-
- PATHALIAS OUTPUT
- Again normally you should refer to pathalias.man.
- Here the output for my maps:
- ---------------------- snip ----------------------------------
- 0 mavhh %s
- 5000 wolfhh wolfhh!%s
- 5000 wolfhh.hanse.de wolfhh!%s
- ---------------------- snip ----------------------------------
-
- SMAIL PATH FORMAT
- The first column is the hostname, the second the path and the
- last one the cost. Please keep in mind:
- YOU HAVE TO SORT THIS FILE.
- If the list is not sorted, there will be strange results,
- because smail/rmail uses a binary search algorithm to find the
- right host in paths file.
- Here my example:
- ---------------------- snip ----------------------------------
- mavhh %s 0
- wolfhh wolfhh!%s 5000
- wolfhh.hanse.de wolfhh!%s 5000
- ---------------------- snip ----------------------------------
