PMDF System Manager's Guide

The PMDF TEST/REWRITE (OpenVMS) or pmdf test -rewrite (UNIX and NT) utility, particularly with the /FROM, /SOURCE_CHANNEL, and /DESTINATION_CHANNEL (OpenVMS) or -from , -source_channel , and -destination_channel (UNIX and NT) qualifiers, can be useful in testing access control mappings. For instance, a SEND_ACCESS mapping table of

SEND_ACCESS tcp_local|friendly@somewhere.com|l|AdamUser@example.com $Y tcp_local|unwelcome@elsewhere.com|l|AdamUser@example.com $NGo$ away!

can be probed as follows:

$ PMDF TEST/REWRITE/FROM="friendly@somewhere.com" - _$ /SOURCE=tcp_local/DESTINATION=l AdamUser@example.com ... Submitted address list: l AdamUser (EXAMPLE.COM) *NOTIFY FAILURES* *NOTIFY DELAYS* Submitted notifications list: $ PMDF TEST/REWRITE/FROM="unwelcome@elsewhere.com" - _$ /SOURCE=tcp_local/DESTINATION=l AdamUser@example.com ... Submitted address list: Address list error -- Go away!: AdamUser@example.com Submitted notifications list:
