Name
rollup_mx — If this option is set to true, traffic destined for the associated host will be routed to the destination domain specified by the argument of the related "rollup_mx_name" configuration option.
Synopsis
rollup_mx = true
Description
This option controls whether or not the MX rollup feature is active for a destination host. In some cases, multiple destination domains are, through their MX records, routed to a single receiving domain. If Adaptive Delivery treats them all as separate domains, any feedback received from one is applied only to the individual domain, but since all are routing via MX to a single destination, requests to limit sending should apply to all of them for Adaptive Delivery to respond most efficiently. MX rollup enables dealing with this problem and enhances the ability of Adaptive Delivery to manage sending.
When a destination domain's MX host is resolved, the host name is checked against Host stanzas in the configuration. If there's a match, and rollup_mx is set to 'true' in the Host stanza, the mail is queued for the routing domain specified by the rollup_mx_name option value in the Host stanza. Connection limits, sending rates, etc. determined by Adaptive Delivery are applied based on the routing domain, rather than the original destination domain.
In the following example configuration, mail sent to either "node1.somedomain.com" or "mail.nobody.com" will be routed to "otherdomain.com", and any Adaptive Delivery settings for "otherdomain.com" will control the delivery.
Host "node1.somedomain.com" {
rollup_mx = true
rollup_mx_name = "otherdomain.com"
}
Host "mail.nobody.com" {
rollup_mx = true
rollup_mx_name = "otherdomain.com"
}
Note
The rollup_mx option works in conjunction with the rollup_mx_name option to implement the MX Rollup functionality.
Scope
rollup_mx is valid in Host scope. This can be specified in a Host stanza used in global, binding, or binding_group scopes.
