- The mhook(1) manpage shows .maildelivery lines that match the "addresses"
- jpo=mmdf and jpo=ack:
-
- # if the address is jpo=mmdf - pipe into mmdf-redist
- addr jpo=mmdf | A mmdf-redist
- # if the address is jpo=ack - send an acknowledgement copy back
- addr jpo=ack | R "resend -r $(reply-to)"
-
- The maildelivery(5) manpage for MMDF systems explains that the stuff
- after the equals sign (=) isn't part of the address where the mail
- is delivered. The message goes to "jpo," but the whole field
- jpo=ack or jpo=mmdf can be tested in the .maildelivery file.
- That lets you control how messages to the user "jpo" are handled.
-
- Our sendmail doesn't like the = very much:
-
- Sending letter ... jerry=haha@ora.com... User unknown
-
- Do any transport agents besides MMDF support this = feature? Thanks.
