MMDF(ADM)                                  UNIX System V



     Name
          mmdf - routes mail locally and over any supported network


     Description
          The operating system uses MMDF (the Multi-channel Memorandum
          Distribution  Facility)  to  route  mail  locally  and  over
          Micnet, UUCP, or other networks that provide  MMDF  support.
          The  custom  utility  installs  MMDF  and configures a basic
          system for sending mail on a local machine.

          MMDF is a  very  versatile  and  configurable  mail  routing
          system.      MMDF     configuration    begins    with    the
          /usr/mmdf/mmdftailor file, which  defines  the  machine  and
          domain  names,  the various tables (alias, domain, channel),
          and  other  configuration  information.    To   change   the
          configuration of MMDF on your system, you can log in as mmdf
          and edit the configuration files.  Whenever you change  MMDF
          alias  or  routing  information in any way, you must rebuild
          the hashed database.
