You are correct. The pairing of matcher/mailet works like this:
- A matcher must return a true/false answer if it "matches" a mail
message.
- If it *does* match, then the message is given to the mailet to
handle.
For example:
<mailet match="HostIsLocal" class="ToProcessor">
If the matcher "HostIsLocal" returns true, then the mailet "ToProcessor"
is invoked. The body of the <mailet> contains xml arguments that the
specified mailet can see. There are many built-in mailets, so most times
you only need to write the matcher and use the existing mailets to
direct the mail the way you want.
For example, to forward a message to another account based on my own
matcher "DesiredMessage", I only write the matcher and use built-in
mailet to "Forward":
<mailet match="DesiredMessage" class="Forward">
<forwardto>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</forwardto>
</mailet>
