connectalias, connectcanonical) PMDF normally rewrites addresses as it enqueues messages to its channel queues. No additional rewriting is done during message dequeue. This presents a potential problem when host names change while there are messages in the channel queues still addressed to the old name.
The connectalias keyword tells PMDF to simply deliver to
whatever host is listed in the recipient address. This is the default.
connectcanonical forces PMDF to run the address through
the rewrite rules one additional time and use the host that results.
connectcanonical should only be used specifically to deal
with problems with queued messages---it may have unintended effects on
other message traffic. In particular, connectcanonical
must not be used on bit_ channels.
