To quote the SIMS docs: ==== The Router takes a parsed E-mail address (i.e. the domain and local parts of the address) and uses the Table, scanning its records from top to bottom. If an applicable record is found, it is applied as described below and the modified local and/or domain parts are processed with the Router from the beginning. Finally, if no record is found, the messages is routed. If the domain name is not empty, the messages is routed to the SMTP module for delivery to the E-mail address specified by the resulting local and domain parts. If the domain name is empty, the messages is routed to the Local Delivery module for storing in a user mailbox. ==== In other words, SIMS keeps going through the router until no applicable record is found to apply to the parsed e-mail address, at which time the message is routed either via SMTP (for foreign) or Local Delivery (for local). ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
