!REWRITE.TXT
============
To edit ~/spool/rewrite from the DIS Session Manager:
*****************************************************************
MAIN MENU:D > CONFIGURE NET:F > ADVANCED EDITING:C -- "Edit Mail
Header REWRITE file".
*****************************************************************
The rewrite file (~/spool/rewrite) is read by:
1. your SMTP server when receiving incoming mail -- SMTP reads
the rewrite file _before_ reading the incoming mail alias file
~/alias.
2. the mailer in the built-in KA9Q BBS when sending a mail
message -- the mailer uses the file to rewrite the message
address if necessary _before_ putting the message into the
outgoing mail queue ~/spool/mqueue.
>> Example of ~/spool/rewrite:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# ~/spool/rewrite
*@uk.co.demon.dowrmain.demon.co.uk $1@dowrmain.demon.co.uk r
ian_wade@dowrmain.demon.co.uk ian@dowrmain.demon.co.uk
xyz*list@dowrmain.demon.co.uk list$1@majordomo.dmain.org
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fields in the rewrite file are separated by one or more spaces.
The file may contain comment lines (starting with #) and/or blank
(empty) lines to improve readability.
Case does not matter; e.g. "demon" is the same as "Demon".
The "*" character in the first field of each entry matches zero
or more characters.
The "$n" string in the second field matches the n-th "*" in the
first field; i.e. "$1" matches the first "*", "$2" matches the
second "*", and so on.
The "r" character at the end of an entry specifies recursion;
i.e. if the record matches, rewrite the address and then re-scan
the file from the beginning to see if there is now another match.
