Name

pathway — a grouping of inbound configuration options

Description

**Configuration Change. ** This feature is available starting from Momentum 3.0.24.

The Pathway scope is used to group inbound configuration options that you wish to apply to a specific ESMTP_Listener. A Pathway scope may be defined in the global scope or within a Pathway_Group scope.

Pathway "example1" {
  allow_null_envelope_sender = true
}

Pathway_Group "group1" {

  Pathway "example2" {
    idle_time = 400
  }
}

The usual fallback semantics apply to options valid in the Pathway scope. The value that an option assumes, in order of decreasing precedence, is as follows:

Pathway_Group::Pathway
Pathway
Pathway_Group
Global

A Pathway is associated with a specific ESMTP_Listener or a Listen or Peer scope within an ESMTP_Listener by setting the Pathway option within that scope. For example:

Pathway "example1" {
  allow_null_envelope_sender = true
}

ESMTP_Listener {
  Listen ":25" {
    ...
    **Pathway = "example1"** 
  }
}

Pathway_groups are used for logical groupings only and cannot be associated with ESMTP_Listeners.

Unlike bindings, Pathways can be set by Sieve actions; since a Pathway is just a message context variable, you can set it in the following way:

vctx_mess_set "pathway" "example1"

Scope

The Pathway scope is valid in the global scope and within a Pathway group scope.

The Pathway option references a Pathway scope and is valid within an ESMTP_Listener or within a Listen or Peer scope within an ESMTP_Listener.
