ec_set_binding
Name
ec_set_binding, ec_set_binding_group — Assign a message to a MultiVIP© binding
Synopsis
ec_set_binding [ binding ]
ec_set_binding_group [ binding_group ]
Description
ec_set_binding assigns the current message to the binding you specify. If the binding does not exist, then an error message will be logged to the paniclog, and the current binding assignment for the message will not be changed.
Note
If you assign messages to bindings, it is important to ensure that all messages are assigned to bindings, or to make sure that the fallback binding (otherwise known as "default") does what you want. Good scripting practice would be to ensure that there is always an else clause or some other way of ensuring that all messages are always dealt with in some way. For example, you could create a variable at the top of your script with the most general binding, then if blocks to assign a message to a more specific binding if it matches. At the end of the script, assuming no if condition applies, the else clause would assign the message to the most general binding.
You can use this function to set the binding to the default binding. For more information see the section called “The "default" Binding”.
ec_set_binding_group assigns the current message to a randomly selected binding that belongs to the binding_group you specify. The selection algorithm will not consider bindings that are currently unplumbed.
In the following script, mail for example.com is routed out of a binding named example, which is set to send mail out via 10.0.0.1. All other mail is routed via the default binding. The ecelerity.conf for this setup looks something like the following:
Binding "example" { Bind_Address = 10.0.0.1 } sieve "sieve1" { script "set_binding_phase1" { source = "/path/to/myscript.siv" } }
and the contents of myscript.siv:
if envelope :domain :is "to" "example.com" { ec_set_binding "example"; }
In the following script, mail for example.com is routed out of one of the bindings in the binding group named example, which is set to send mail out via the range of IPs from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.5. All other mail is routed via the default binding. The ecelerity.conf for this setup looks something like the following:
Binding_Group "example" { Binding "ex1" { Bind_Address = 10.0.0.1 } Binding "ex2" { Bind_Address = 10.0.0.2 } Binding "ex3" { Bind_Address = 10.0.0.3 } Binding "ex4" { Bind_Address = 10.0.0.4 } Binding "ex5" { Bind_Address = 10.0.0.5 } } sieve "sieve1" { script "set_binding_phase1" { source = "/path/to/myscript.siv" } }
and the contents of myscript.siv:
if envelope :domain :is "to" "example.com" { ec_set_binding_group "example"; }
