Unless it is being used purely for verification (see <span class="docbook_option">verify_only</span>) a transport is required to be defined by the generic <span class="docbook_option">transport</span> option. If the preconditions that are specified by generic options are met, the router accepts the address and queues it for the given transport. The most common use of this router is for setting up deliveries to local mailboxes. For example: </p> <div class="docbook_literallayout"><pre> localusers: driver = accept domains = mydomain.example check_local_user transport = local_delivery </pre></div> <p> The <span class="docbook_option">domains</span> condition in this example checks the domain of the address, and <span class="docbook_option">check_local_user</span> checks that the local part is the login of a local user. When both preconditions are met, the <span class="docbook_command">accept</span> router runs, and queues the address for the <span class="docbook_command">local_delivery</span> transport. </p> </div> <a class="previous_page" href="ch15.html"><-previous</a><a class="next_page" href="ch17.html">next-></a> </div></div> <iframe id="branding" name="branding" src="../../../../branding/branding.html" height="0" frameborder="no" scrolling="no"></iframe><div id="footer">Website design by <a href="https://secure.grepular.com/">Mike Cardwell</a>, of <a href="http://cardwellit.com/">Cardwell IT Ltd.</a> </div> <div class="left_bar"></div> <div class="right_bar"></div> <div id="toc"> <ul class="hidden"></ul> <img src="../../../../doc/contents.png" width="16" height="155"> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="../../../../common.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="../../../../doc/chapter.js"></script> </body> </html>
