PMDF System Manager's Guide

The first step is to add the conversion channel to the PMDF configuration file. The entry should have the form:

conversion CONVERSION-DAEMON

Rewrite rules can be added if desired to make it possible to queue mail explicitly to the conversion channel. Something like

conversion $U%conversion.localhostname@CONVERSION-DAEMON conversion.localhostname $U%conversion.localhostname@CONVERSION-DAEMON

where localhostname is the name of the local PMDF system, provides the necessary functionality. Once this is done, addresses of the form

user%host@conversion.localhostname

are routed through the conversion channel regardless of what the CONVERSIONS mapping says.

Additional conversion_* channels may be defined. For example:

conversion_2 CONVERSION2-DAEMON

These alternate conversion channels are generally selected using the CONVERSIONS mapping table Channel keyword (see Table 24-1). If desired, you may also create separate rewrite rules for each of these alternate conversion channels, similar to the ones shown above.

Note that the conversion channel and all conversion_* channels use a single conversions file (see Section 24.1.3).
