The $# metasymbol causes this rule to resolve

Filed under: Linux Net Admin Guide — webmaster @ 5:13 am

The $# metasymbol causes this rule to resolve to a specific mailer, smtp in our case. The $@ resolves the target host. In our example, the target host is specified as $2.$m., which is the fully qualified domain name of the host on in our domain. The FQDN is constructed of the hostname component assigned to $2 from our lefthand side with our domain name (.$m.) appended. The $: metasymbol specifies the target user, which we again captured from the lefthand side and had stored in $1. We preserve the contents of the <> section, and any trailing text, using the data we collected from the lefthand side of the rule. Since this rule resolves to a mailer, the message is forwarded to the mailer for delivery. In our example, the message would be forwarded to the destination host using the SMTP protocol.
