What exactly is the format of the string which should be passed to the
ruleset 98 ?
I want to specify the mailer and the host explicitly to which one the
message should be forwarded to.

Thanks a lot !

Hi,

Check out: http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/networ...ip/ch10_06.htm

There is a special rewrite rule syntax that is used in ruleset 0.
Ruleset 0 defines the triple (mailer, host, user) that specifies the
mail delivery program, the recipient host, and the recipient user.

The special transformation syntax used to do this is:

$#mailer$@host$:user

Many thanks George !

In fact, my question was erronous. It sould be "what should be the
string which I have to return when leaving my own ruleset 98, in order
to say: send to the user ..... via the host .... using the mailer
......" . In fact this information is exactly the special triple to
which one the ruleset 0 have to resolve to, but when leaving my own
ruleset 98, I do not have to resolve to this triple because the
processing will continue especially with the Parse1 ruleset.

As a test to see the further processing of the output of ruleset 98, I
have tried:

Parse1 < this-mailer : [127.0.0.1] > user < @ umd.edu. >

but the result is

Parse1 returns: $# local $: [ 127 . 0 . 0 . 1 ]

This is not the expected result. I want the mailer "this-mailer".

What is wrong here ?

What makes you think this is valid input to Parse1? If you want to
resolve to a mailer, just do it ParseLocal/98 - it is valid in any
ruleset called from parse/0. There are even examples in cf/README
showing it (using LOCAL_RULE_0 in .mc, which is what you should be doing
of course).

Your expectations.
