Domain Name Macro and Class (D)
The D macro defines the local domain name. Be sure that the macro contains the name of the domain in which this station resides. If domains are not used, you can leave this macro empty or comment it out.
- The D class explicitly lists all domains for which this station should send mail directly by means of the local area network mailer.
- Mail for domains listed in the D class is sent directly to the destination station, if possible. No attempt is made to send the mail by means of a relay station.
- Mail for domains not listed in the D class is sent by means of a relay station associated with the destination station, if possible, rather than directly to the recipient station.
- If this station is a relay for a particular domain, you must enter that domain name in the D class. It is recommended that you always enter the domain name, regardless of whether the station is a relay or not.
