💖 Name 💖

okay so bestie, this is the alias_resolve(4gx) page from the Gromox admin reference. The Name-line tea is: alias_resolve — Alias resolution and expansion for delivery(8gx). Iconic.

🦋 Description 🦋

alias_resolve is a component of the delivery agent. Its whole main-character job is rewriting the Envelope FROM and RCPT fields of incoming messages: trimming extensions, resolving aliases to the primary email address, resolving contact objects where they occur, and expanding mailing lists to their members. No cap — that's the whole glow-up, periodt. ✨

⚙️ Configuration directives (gromox.cfg) ⚙️

  • lda_alias_cache_lifetime — Interval between refreshes of the alias and contact object cache. Default: 1h.
  • lda_recipient_delimiter — The set of characters that separate an email address into localpart and extension. This mirrors the recipient_delimiter directive from postconf(5). Default: (empty).

🚨 Signals 🚨

When the component is reloaded — i.e. by way of sending SIGHUP to delivery(8gx) — the alias cache is refreshed as well, resetting the timer for the next refresh. Slay, cache refresh. 🔥

🎀 Files 🎀

  • data_file_path/mlist_bounce/ — response templates for when a mailing list could not be expanded.
