Name
${rcpt_mailer}
Synopsis
All
envelope addresses (sender and recipient) are passed through the
parse
rule set 0 so that a delivery agent can be
selected. Upon receipt of the RCPT TO: address, a delivery agent is
selected by the RHS of the parse
rule set 0, which
defines a triple that contains three pieces of information for that
address:
$#delivery_agent $@ host $:address
The $#
portion of the triple specifies the
delivery agent to use for delivery. For example:
local
Once that delivery agent is determined for the $#
part of the delivery-agent triple, it is copied to this
${rcpt_mailer}
macro.
${rcpt_mailer}
is transient. If it is defined in
the configuration file or in the command line, that definition may be
ignored by sendmail. Note that a
$&
prefix is necessary when you reference this
macro in rules (that is, use $&{rcpt_mailer}
,
not ${rcpt_mailer}
).
