PMDF System Manager's Guide

PMDF only interprets the contents of header lines when necessary. However, all registered headers containing addresses must be parsed in order to rewrite and eliminate shortform addresses and otherwise convert them to legal addresses. During this process personal names (strings preceeding angle-bracket-delimited addresses) are extracted and may optionally be modified or excluded when the header line is rebuilt.

On destination channels, this behavior is controlled by the use of the personalinc , personalomit , and personalstrip keywords. personalinc tells PMDF to retain personal names in the headers. It is the default. personalomit tells PMDF to remove all personal names. And finally, personalstrip tells PMDF to strip any nonatomic characters from all personal name fields.

On source channels, this behavior is controlled by the use of a sourcepersonalinc , sourcepersonalomit , or sourcepersonalstrip keyword. sourcepersonalinc tells PMDF to retain personal names in the headers. It is the default. sourcepersonalomit tells PMDF to remove all personal names. And finally, sourcepersonalstrip tells PMDF to strip any nonatomic characters from all personal name fields.

These keywords can be applied to any channel.
