<H3>Introduction.</H3>
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
First an important note: normal nodes, hubs and hosts should not need this to
|
||
|
|
setup. MBSE is smart enough to do normal netmail routing using the nodelist.
|
||
|
|
There are cases when you might need this, for example if you are a RC or if you
|
||
|
|
have special routing arrangements via internet nodes. Think at least twice
|
||
|
|
before adding entries here. You can always use the <b>mbfido test</b> command to
|
||
|
|
check if the standard routing is enough. You should also check to see what you have
|
||
|
|
done with <b>mbfido test</b> if the entries in this table do what you expect
|
||
|
|
them to do.
|
||
|
|
During route tests it is wise to temporary switch on extra debug logging
|
||
|
|
with mbsetup menu 1.5.16.17 and check the information in the logfile, there is a
|
||
|
|
lot of information about the descisions that are made.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
When you edit a route table, the entries you add might not be in the right
|
||
|
|
order, this will be done after you leave the editor. Sorting is done in order of
|
||
|
|
zone, exact nodes first, then globals. If you end the routing table with a global
|
||
|
|
route, ie. to All zones, then the standard routing isn't used anymore and only
|
||
|
|
the table is consulted. This might not be needed, most likely is that you only
|
||
|
|
need to add the routes to the non-standard nodes. The table is processed from
|
||
|
|
the first entry to the last and stops when an entry matches. If there was no
|
||
|
|
match, the default routing will be used.

|

|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
When you open the table you see something like this:<P>
|
||
|
|
<IMG SRC="../images/route1.png" ALT="Routing table" Border="0">
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
The edit screen looks like this:<P>
|
||
|
|
<IMG SRC="../images/route2.png" ALT="Routing editor" Border="0">
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
<strong>Mask </strong>The destination mask to test for.
|
||
|
|
<strong>Action </strong>Route to, Direct or Default.
|
||
|
|
<strong>Dest addr </strong>The destination node in case of Route to.
|
||
|
|
<strong>Active </strong>If this rule is active.
|
||
|
|
<strong>Deleted </strong>If this rule must be deleted.
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
If the Action is <b>Route to</b> then all mail matching the Mask will be routed
|
||
|
|
to the node setup in Dest addr. This node must be present in your setup.
|
||
|
|
If the Mask is <b>Direct</b> then mail to node node(s) matching the Mask will be
|
||
|
|
sent direct, not routed. If the action is <b>Default</b> then the nodes matching
|
||
|
|
the Mask will use the standard default routing. More actions will be added
|
||
|
|
later.
