Forwarder Station Name Macro and Class (F)
The F macro defines the station name or alias of the station to which this station forwards mail for unknown stations or domains.
- The F class contains all known names for the station defined in the F macro.
- Mail is sent to the forwarder as a last resort only if one of these conditions exists:
- This station cannot make the destination station name canonical or determine an appropriate relay or mail exchanger for the mail.
- The appropriate station, relay, or exchanger for the mail exists outside the top-level domain. (See the description of the T macro later in this section.)
- If either condition for sending mail to this forwarder station exists, this station puts messages to unknown stations or domains "on the wire" and hopes for the best.
- If no such station exists in your environment, leave the F macro and class empty. If this station is the forwarder station, put this station's name in the F macro. Put all known names for the station in the F class.
