PMDF System Manager's Guide

In order to set up a circuit check message path, you must specify an address that will cause a message to be routed in a loop. This may be done by sending to a remote address that is configured to then forward back to the circuit check address. Or a method that may be more convenient in some cases is to specify a form of the circuit check facility's own address that embeds the circuit check address within some explicit routing components, where the explicit routing components will cause routing along the desired path. For instance:

• When routing through an SMTP host (that allows relaying---note that many SMTP hosts will not allow general relaying), a %-hack address form may be used, as in or in Example 32-2 above.
• To send into and back out of Message Router, you may send to the circuit check address at the PMDF MRMAN mailbox at the PMDF-MR domain name, as in in Example 32-2 above.
• To send into and back out of ALL-IN-1 or MailWorks when connected to by PMDF-MR as an MR TS replacement, you should set up an ALL-IN-1 or MailWorks account that is configured to auto-forward back to the circuit check facility and then send to that special account.
• To send a message to an X.400 MTA that the X.400 MTA should then immediately send back to PMDF and the circuit check facility, send to PMDF-X400's own X.400 ORname stem, plus /S=circuitcheck, at the PMDF-X400 pseudodomain name, as in in Example 32-2 above.
• To loop a message through a PC-LAN mailer, use explicit routing to specify the PMDF system domain name within the PC mailer name space.
  • With cc:Mail, specify

    circuitcheckaddress%PMDFcc:mailpostoffice@cc_local-domain

    E.g., circuitcheck%domain.com%PMDF@ccmail.domain.com.

  • With Lotus Notes, specify

    circuitcheckaddress%PMDFlotusdomain@ln_local-domain

    E.g., circuitcheck%domain.com@PMDF@lnotes.domon.com.

  • With Microsoft Mail, specify

    PMDFdomain/PMDFpo/circuitcheck@ff_local-domain

  • With GroupWise, specify

    PMDFwpodomain.PMDFwpopo.circuitcheckaddress@wpo_local-domain

  • With Novell MHS, specify

    circuitcheck%PMDFmhsworkgroup@mhs_local-domain
