Name
domain — configure domain specific options
Description
domain "example.com" { # domain-specific settings } binding example { domain "example.com" { # domain-specific settings for the "example" binding } }
Use the domain stanza to define per-domain configuration options. You can nest domain stanzas beneath binding stanzas creating a binding:domain configuration. For additional details, see “Configuration Scopes and Fallback”.
In addition to defining domain stanzas using domain names, you can also use IP addresses:
domain "192.0.43.10" { }
When declaring IPv6 domains, use the following syntax:
domain "[IPv6:fd82:7796:815b:be0:222:19ff:fe52:3629]" { # domain specific settings }
**Regex Domains. ** In addition to specifying a domain by domain name, you may use Perl-compatible regular expression (PCRE) syntax to define a "Regex Domain". Using regex domains, you can define common rules for domains that have similar configurations, without needing to specify the rules for every possible matching domain.
domain "example.com" {
max_outbound_connections = 20
}
domain "/(?:^|[.])example[.](/momentum/4/com-co-uk)$/" {
max_outbound_connections = 15
max_deliveries_per_connection = 5
}
In the example above, mail for example.com will use no more than 20 connections, and will send no more than 5 messages on a given connection before tearing it down. Mail for example.co.uk will have max_deliveries_per_connection set to 5 and max_outbound_connections set to 15, as would mail for any sub-domain of example.com or example.co.uk.
Option resolution will always match a value defined in a normal domain stanza before looking for a matching regex domain stanza in the same container, which is why example.com would have max_outbound_connections set to 20, despite it being set to 15 in the regex domain stanza that matches.
If multiple regex domain stanzas are declared in the same container, normal domain stanzas are checked first before finding a match from the regex domain stanzas in the order that the regex domain stanzas were declared in the configuration file.
Note
You almost always want to anchor the start and end of your regular expressions when using them for regex domains, otherwise they will perform substring matching which might have unexpected side effects, such as matching subdomains of "bad guy" domains and routing unwanted mail via trusted interfaces.

Scope and Valid Options
domain is valid in the binding, binding_group, and global scopes.
