6 – Examples
$ PMDF TEST/MHS adam@mhs.example.com
ADAM@EXAMPLE
$ PMDF TEST/MHS postmaster@example.com
POSTMASTER@PMDF
$ PMDF TEST/MHS service@example.com
MAILER@PMDF {smtp:SERVICE@example.COM}
This example shows testing an mhs_local channel's
transformation of several addresses. The output shown
corresponds to a mhs_local channel with official host
name mhs.example.com and channel options MHS_DEFAULT_
WORKGROUP=EXAMPLE, MHS_GATEWAY_WORKGROUP=PMDF, MHS_GATEWAY_
USERNAME=MAILER, and MHS_GATEWAY_TYPE=SMTP, and where the site
has example.com as the official local host name.
