Pipe options

A few options control operation of the Pipe channel when a user&#x27;s  LDAP attribute (or more precisely, the attribute named by the    MTA option) includes a value of , with execution as defined via the MTA   option&#x27;s   clause.

The  option&#x27;s   clause (normally) defines such   delivery to mean routing to the pipe channel with an address of the form "uid%programinfo@pipe-channel", where "uid" is the user&#x27;s uid (which will be the user the the program runs under) and "programinfo" is the value of the user&#x27;s   attribute (or whatever attribute is named by the    MTA option).

The "programinfo" from the address is used as to construct a set of option names which then provide the command to execute, parameters, and permissions. For example, a "foo" program value would check the following options: pipe:foo.command pipe:foo.params pipe:foo.perms As of Messaging Server 8.0.1.3, pipe options are also used to handle pipe channel address that do not contain a "%" or "+" charracter. In this case, assuming that the usual pipe channel named "pipe" is used, the following options will be checked: pipe:pipe_default.command pipe:pipe_default.params pipe:pipe_default.perms
