BITNET_RELAY mc Macro
When configuring with the mc
method, you can specify a host that will transfer
mail between the Internet and BITNET. Mail to BITNET
can then be sent by appending the pseudodomain
.BITNET
to an
address. For example:
user@ucbicsi.BITNET
Here, ucbicsi
is a
BITNET host.
To allow your configuration file to handle this form of address, you need to declare the name of your BITNET relay using the BITNET_RELAY keyword:
define(`BITNET_RELAY', `relay_host')dnl
This statement causes the rule for BITNET to be
included in your configuration file and causes
relay_host
to become
the host to which BITNET mail is sent.
See Relays on page 602 for a
description of how to include a delivery agent
specification with
relay_host
. See also,
bitdomain
feature (FEATURE(bitdomain) on page 617) for a way to convert BITNET
addresses to Internet addresses for hosts that have
both.
