Class RelayDestination

Object

mireka.filter.proxy.RelayDestination

All Implemented Interfaces:

Destination, ResponsibleDestination, SessionDestination

public class RelayDestination
extends Object
implements SessionDestination

RelayDestination relays each step of the mail transaction in "realtime" to a gateway. Different recipients may be relayed to different backend servers. This filter handles only recipients whose destination is a RelayDestination. The algorithm is the same as in Baton. The backend server is only connected on the first RCPT SMTP statement. This means that with proper configuration the backend server is not connected at all if no recipient were accepted. Moreover, in this way the decision of which which server to use may depend on the recipient address. The delaying is useful because most mail transactions are SPAM, and they are aborted after the first RCPT TO command is received and rejected.

Note: it does not verify any recipient. In order to deliver the message some other filter must verify and accept the recipients.
