Routing question number bazillion from me. :^(
Sorry to bother you all with this, but I need some clarification.
How is this router entry interpreted by SIMS?
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I guess, from the responses that I kept from you all on this subject, which is exactly where I got the information, I am guessing the first part (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) tells SIMS what return-path/addresses it will allow messages from and the latter part ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) makes it known as an approved client?
Is that anywhere near correct?
Yes.
That particular variety is useful for exempting certain external addresses from domain-wide bans. For example, I have this in my router:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>= [EMAIL PROTECTED]
microsoft.com = error
That tells the router to take [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a final router output ready for SMTP, which is necessary if I want to send mail there (a good place to report 'Office for $10' spam) because otherwise it would continue on through the router and hit the rule that defines all microsoft.com addresses as bogus.
