VMS Help  —  PMDF  TEST  /REWRITE  Command Qualifiers

1    /ALIAS_FILE

       /ALIAS_FILE=filename

    TEST/REWRITE normally consults the default alias file PMDF_ALIAS_
    FILE during the rewriting process. The /ALIAS_FILE qualifier
    specified an alternate file for TEST/REWRITE to use.

    This qualifier has no effect unless /NOIMAGE_FILE is specified
    or no compiled configuration exists; use of any compiled
    configuration precludes reading any sort of alias file.

2    /CHANNEL

       /CHANNEL (default)
       /NOCHANNEL

    This qualifier controls whether the utility outputs detailed
    information, e.g., channel flags, regarding the channel an
    address matches.

3    /CHECK_EXPANSIONS

       /CHECK_EXPANSIONS
       /NOCHECK_EXPANSIONS (default)

    This qualifier controls checking of alias address expansion.
    Normally PMDF considers the expansion of an alias to have been
    successful if any of the addresses the alias expands to are
    legal. The /CHECK_EXPANSIONS qualifier causes a much stricter
    policy to be applied; TEST/REWRITE checks each expanded address
    in detail and reports a list of any addresses, expanded or
    otherwise, that fail to rewrite properly. For addresses that
    match the L channel, PMDF also performs validity checks.

4    /CONFIGURATION_FILE

       /CONFIGURATION_FILE=filename

    TEST/REWRITE normally consults the default configuration
    file PMDF_CONFIG_FILE during the rewriting process. The
    /CONFIGURATION_FILE qualifier specifies an alternate file to
    use in place of the file PMDF_CONFIG_FILE.

    This qualifier has no effect unless /NOIMAGE_FILE is specified
    or no compiled configuration exists; use of any compiled
    configuration will preclude reading any sort of configuration
    file.

5    /DEBUG

       /DEBUG
       /NODEBUG (default)

    The address rewriting process is capable of producing additional,
    detailed explanations of what actions are taken and why. The
    /DEBUG qualifier enables this output; it is disabled by default.

6    /DATABASE

       /DATABASE=database-list

    TEST/REWRITE normally consults the usual PMDF databases
    during its operation. This qualifier is used to either disable
    references to various databases or to redirect the database paths
    to nonstandard locations.

    The allowed list items are ALIAS, NOALIAS, PERSONAL_ALIAS,
    NOPERSONAL_ALIAS, DOMAIN, NODOMAIN, FORWARD, NOFORWARD, GENERAL,
    NOGENERAL, REVERSE, and NOREVERSE. The list items beginning with
    "NO" disable use of the corresponding database. The remaining
    items require an associated value, which is taken to be the name
    of that database.

7    /DELIVERY_RECEIPT

       /DELIVERY_RECEIPT
       /NODELIVERY_RECEIPT

    The /DELIVERY_RECEIPT and /NODELIVERY_RECEIPT qualifiers, which
    explicitly set the corresponding receipt request flags, can
    be useful when testing the handling of receipt requests when
    rewriting forwarded addresses or mailing lists.

8    /DESTINATION_CHANNEL

       /DESTINATION_CHANNEL=channel

    The /DESTINATION_CHANNEL qualifier controls what destination or
    target channel TEST/REWRITE rewrites addresses for. Some address
    rewriting is destination channel specific; this qualifier allows
    control of the assumed destination channel.

9    /FILTER

       /FILTER
       /NOFILTER (default)

    The /FILTER qualifier may be used to have PMDF TEST/REWRITE
    output any filters (personal mailbox, channel, or system)
    applying for the address in question.

10    /FROM

       /FROM=address
       /NOFROM

    This qualifier controls what envelope From: address is used for
    access control probes and mailing list access probes. If the
    /FROM qualifier is omitted, then the address used for access
    checks is the postmaster return address. Specifying either
    /FROM=<> or /NOFROM tells the utility to use an empty envelope
    From: address for access checks.

11    /GREY

       /GREY=setting
       /NOGREY (default)

    This qualifier controls the setting of the Grey Book flag. By
    default, this flag has value 0. When set to 1, /GREY=1, the Grey
    Book flag will be set on and addresses will be rewritten using
    the Grey Book format.

    This flag is used to force rewriting of address in accordance
    with the JANET (Grey Book) specifications. The most significant
    effect is that domain specifications appear in reverse order,
    e.g., edu.claremont.ymir and not ymir.claremont.edu. See the PMDF
    System Manager's Guide for further details.

    Grey Book address formats are not currently used in PMDF, so this
    qualifier's usefulness is problematic at best.

12    /IMAGE_FILE

       /IMAGE_FILE[=filename]
       /NOIMAGE_FILE

    The /IMAGE_FILE qualifier serves two purposes. The first is
    when /NOIMAGE_FILE is specified; this instructs TEST/REWRITE
    to ignore any compiled configuration unconditionally and to read
    configuration information from the various text files instead.

    When the /IMAGE_FILE qualifier is specified without an optional
    file name, PMDF TEST/REWRITE will load the compiled configuration
    from the file PMDF_CONFIG_DATA. If, instead, a file name is
    specified then TEST/REWRITE will load the compiled configuration
    from the specified file.

13    /LOCAL_ALIAS

       /LOCAL_ALIAS=value
       /NOLOCAL_ALIAS (default)

    This qualifier controls the setting of an alias for the local
    host. PMDF supports multiple "identities" for the local host;
    the local host may have a different identity on each channel.
    This qualifier may be used to set the local host alias to the
    specified value; appearances of the local host in rewritten
    addresses will be replaced by this value.

14    /MAPPING_FILE

       /MAPPING_FILE[=filename]
       /NOMAPPING_FILE

    This qualifier instructs TEST/REWRITE to use the specified
    mapping file rather than the default mapping file named by the
    PMDF_MAPPING_FILE logical name, usually PMDF_TABLE:MAPPINGS.

    This qualifier has no effect unless /NOIMAGE_FILE was specified
    or no compiled configuration exists; use of any compiled
    configuration will preclude reading the mapping file.

    Use of the /NOMAPPING_FILE qualifier will prevent the PMDF_
    MAPPING_FILE file from being read in when there is no compiled
    configuration.

15    /OPTION_FILE

       /OPTION_FILE=filename
       /NOOPTION_FILE

    This qualifier instructs TEST/REWRITE to use the specified option
    file rather than the default option file PMDF_OPTION_FILE.

    This qualifier has no effect unless /NOIMAGE_FILE is specified
    or no compiled configuration exists; use of any compiled
    configuration will preclude reading any sort of option file.

    Use of the qualifier /NOOPTION_FILE will prevent the file
    PMDF_OPTION_FILE from being read in when there is no compiled
    configuration.

16    /READ_RECEIPT

       /READ_RECEIPT
       /NOREAD_RECEIPT

    The /READ_RECEIPT and /NOREAD_RECEIPT qualifiers, which
    explicitly set the corresponding receipt request flags, can
    be useful when testing the handling of receipt requests when
    rewriting forwarded addresses or mailing lists.

17    /REPROCESSING

       /REPROCESSING (default)
       /NOREPROCESSING

    This qualifier allows the utility to display the contents of a
    mailing list which uses the [REPROCESS] named parameter in its
    alias definition.

18    /RESTRICTED

       /RESTRICTED=value
       /NORESTRICTED

    This qualifier controls the setting of the restricted flag. By
    default, this flag has value 0. When set to 1, /RESTRICTED=1, the
    restricted flag will be set on and addresses will be rewritten
    using the restricted mailbox encoding format recommend by
    RFC1137.

    This flag is used to force rewriting of address mailbox names in
    accordance with the RFC1137 specifications; see the PMDF System
    Manager's Guide for further details.

19    /SOURCE_CHANNEL

       /SOURCE_CHANNEL=channel

    The /SOURCE_CHANNEL qualifier controls what source channel to
    rewrite addresses for. Some address rewriting is source channel
    specific; TEST/REWRITE normally pretends that the channel source
    it is rewriting for is the local channel, L.
