Synopsis
Beginning with V8.7, the RHS of a rule used to select an
error
or discard
delivery agent
can look like this:
R... $#error $@ dsn $: text of error message here R... $#discard $: discard
For the error
delivery agent, the text following
the $
: is the actual error message text that will
be included in bounced mail or sent back to a connecting SMTP host.
For the discard
delivery agent, the text following
the $
: is generally the literal word
discard
.[13]
Use of $
: to specify the error
delivery agent’s error message is described in
detail in error. Use of $
:
to specify the discard
delivery agent is described
in discard.
[13] Actually it can be anything because the text is ignored anyway.
