2 Case Study

    2.1	SMTP logfile

    For debug, FML logs SMTP session log in $SMTP_LOG. If you do not want
    the logging, please set

    	$NOT_TRACE_SMTP = 1;

    2.2	Delivery After Sorting

    If

    	$SMTP_SORT_DOMAIN

    is defined, delivery routine works after sorting recipients by domain.

    2.3	$OUTGOING_ADDRESS: shorten perl life time

    $OUTGOING_ADDRESS is a simple :include: style ML. The member is
    recipients of this ML. Fml generates the file from recipient lists,
    @ACTIVE_LISTS files.

       if ($USE_OUTGOING_ADDRESS) {
    	1. fml sends article to $OUTGOING_ADDRESS.
    	   Hence perl dies here!
    	2. MTA expands the include and delivers the article to ML members.
       }

    [How to configure]

    0.	Consider elena ML

    1.	make include examles

       % cd /var/spool/ml/elena
       % make outgoing

    You can see elena/include-outgoing file.

    2.	add elena-outgogin to /etc/aliases and run newaliases

       elena-outgoing: :include:/var/spool/ml/elena/include-outgoing

    3.	run 'makefml config' to enable this function

    	-> OPTIONS -> SMTP -> USE_OUTGOING_ADDREESS -> "y"

    $USE_OUTGOING_ADDDRESS changes from zero/null to 1.

    2.4	Disable PIPELINING

    	$NOT_USE_ESMTP_PIPELINING = 1;

    2.5	Use Plural Mta'S On Plural Hosts

    To use plural MTA on plural hosts (N hosts), set the number of hosts
    in

    	$MCI_SMTP_HOSTS = N;

    and configure an array @HOSTS filled with at least N hostnames.

       @HOSTS = (machine-1.domain, machine-2.domain, machine-3.domain, ...);

    fml.pl uses MTA's on $HOST and @HOSTS in delivery.

    If the total number of $HOST and @HOSTS < N, fml.pl uses $HOST again
    and again. This technique is used as a secondary server in delivery.
    When you setup @HOSTS and unset $MCI_SMTP_HOSTS, fml.pl uses $HOST in
    usual, but @HOSTS if $HOST is down.

    2.6	VERPs
