-
- It all depends on what is contained in BITEARN NODES. To summerize:
-
- New tag in DOMAIN NAMES:
-
- :mformat. - Automatically extracted from BITEARN NODES, serversN tag.
- If the value is null, or PU, no mformat tag will be generated. Any
- other value, will cause an :mformat tag to be generated. The :mformat
- tag will appear at the end of the :nick line, after the :served
- tag, if one exists.
-
- Examples:
-
- :nick.JOINER.COM :mailer.MAILER@JOINER BSMTP 3 :served.YES :mformat.ND
- :nick..SE :mailer.MAILER@SEARN BSMTP 3 :mformat.ND PU
-
- No manual updates will be accepted to the :mformat tag. Users wishing
- to update their :mformat tag, should update their :serversN tag
- in BITEARN NODES. DOMAIN NAMES will from now on be distributed
- after BITEARN NODES is updated so as to collect the latest changes
- to the :serversN tag.
