- ; Sample MERCURYD.DAT file
- ; Mercury Mail Transport System,
- ; Copyright (c) 1993-99, David Harris, All Rights Reserved.
- ;
- ; MERCURYD.DAT is parsed by the MercuryD Distributing POP3 client to
- ; determine the sources from which it should obtain mail using the
- ; POP3 client protocol for distribution to local users.
- ;
- ; Each non-comment line in this file represents a single host/account
- ; combination MercuryD should contact to retrieve mail, using the
- ; following format:
- ;
- ; host<,>username<,>password<,>local_user<,>default
- ;
- ; "host" - the domain name of the machine running the POP3
- ; server MercuryD should contact.
- ; "username" - the name MercuryD should use to login to the server
- ; "password" - the password matching "username" in plain text
- ; "local_user" - The local user to whom mail downloaded from the
- ; specified account should be delivered.
- ; "default" - The user to whom mail should be delivered if no
- ; local recipients are found in a message.
- ;
- ; Empty or blank parameters must be set to a single dash character, '-'.
- ; Spaces are significant - only the ',' character is a valid delimiter.
- ;
- ; If "local_user" is set to a single dash, MercuryD will attempt to
- ; distribute the mail based on the "to:", "cc:" and "bcc:" fields in
- ; each message. This is useful for sites running so-called "domain
- ; mailboxes" - the first example entry below demonstrates this option.
- ;
- ; "default" is only meaningful for domain mailbox entries, and is
- ; intended to deal with problems like mailing list subscriptions,
- ; where the local addressee often will not appear anywhere in the
- ; message headers.
- ;
- ; Example entry
- ; styx.pmail.gen.nz,username,password,-,david
