${rcpt_mailer}
Saved $# value for RCPT To: triple V8.10 and later
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}
).
