When performing ALL-IN-1 list expansions, you must create a directory to hold the database files. Use the command:
$ CREATE/DIR pmdf_root:[directories]/OWNER=[SYSTEM] |
.dat". For example, if the
pseudo domain name is x.y, the corresponding database file would be
pmdf_root:[directories]x$y.dat on an OpenVMS system.
The entries in the directory databases consist of a mailbox name in the
pseudo domain and the name of the file containing the
ALL-IN-1 list to be equated with that mailbox name. The
directory channel looks up the mailbox name in the
database, opens the associated list file, reads it and sends copies of
the message to all of the addresses on the list. The database file
itself should be created with the PMDF CRDB utility.
An example list file is shown in Example 3-4. Assume that the file
specification for that file is d1:[lists]cats.dis and that
this list is to be associated with the address
cats-list@a1.example.com. Then the input test file to PMDF
CRDB would appear as shown in Example 3-5. To process that
input, use the commands:
$ PMDF CRDB a1$example$com.txt - $_ pmdf_root:[directories]a1$example$com.dat_tmp $ RENAME pmdf_root:[directories]a1$example$com.dat_tmp - $_ pmdf_root:[directories]a1$example$com.dat |
