; ; Sample MERCURYD.DAT file ; Mercury Mail Transport System, ; Copyright (c) 1993-99, David Harris, All Rights Reserved. ; ; MERCURYD.DAT is parsed by the MercuryD Distributing POP3 client to ; determine the sources from which it should obtain mail using the ; POP3 client protocol for distribution to local users. ; ; Each non-comment line in this file represents a single host/account ; combination MercuryD should contact to retrieve mail, using the ; following format: ; ; host<,>username<,>password<,>local_user<,>default ; ; "host" - the domain name of the machine running the POP3 ; server MercuryD should contact. ; "username" - the name MercuryD should use to login to the server ; "password" - the password matching "username" in plain text ; "local_user" - The local user to whom mail downloaded from the ; specified account should be delivered. ; "default" - The user to whom mail should be delivered if no ; local recipients are found in a message. ; ; Empty or blank parameters must be set to a single dash character, '-'. ; Spaces are significant - only the ',' character is a valid delimiter. ; ; If "local_user" is set to a single dash, MercuryD will attempt to ; distribute the mail based on the "to:", "cc:" and "bcc:" fields in ; each message. This is useful for sites running so-called "domain ; mailboxes" - the first example entry below demonstrates this option. ; ; "default" is only meaningful for domain mailbox entries, and is ; intended to deal with problems like mailing list subscriptions, ; where the local addressee often will not appear anywhere in the ; message headers. ; ; Example entry ; styx.pmail.gen.nz,username,password,-,david
