E-Mail Do-Not-Send Checking

$dns_email pathname [code] [domain|combined] [EmptyOK]


This command is used in a Job Administration UJP file to specify a do-not-send lookup file for use at launch time for e-mail items.  The command may also be placed in an FS Template file (.FST) for use in an FFBC launch.  Multiple commands may be supplied, and commands from System, Owner and Jobtype UJP files migrate to the job instance properties in the usual way.

The advantages of the launch-time do-not-send and white-list commands are described in the Configuration topic and an overview appears in Lauch-Time Do-Not-Send Checking.

The parameters on this command are used as follows:

pathnameThe pathname of the lookup file to be used.  Currently supported file extensions are:
.NDXa character-mode index file created and maintained by the PIN utility.
.TXTa list of entries to be matched
codeA code which will be used to override the default failure outcome code for matched items. In a 'combined' index/list, the supplied code will be incremented by one for domain-name matches. The default values are 189 for e-mail address matches and 190 for domain matches. The code range 200-249 is suggested for custom outcome codes. If you use the override outcome code on the command, failed items will NOT be protected from accidental transmission if you ignore the warning and enter 'Z' on the JOBADMIN Resubmit Fail dialog.
domainA keyword which indicates that the index/list contains only domain names to be matched
combinedA keyword which indicates that the index/list contains both e-mail addresses and domain names
EmptyOKA keyword which indicates that the index/list may be empty.  This suppresses the check that ensures that at least one entry has been loaded from the file. Failure to load any entries could be a symptom of a corrupted file.

Items matched in a $whitelist_email specification in the same file will not be checked.

The NDX file may contain a positive numeric data value for each entry, and the TXT file may contain a positive numeric data value separated from the addess/domain entry by a single TAB character.  If present and greater than one the value will be saved as the value of a variable named DNS_DATA in the launched FS file.

When multiple commands are specified, items will be checked in the order of System, Owner and Jobtype entries and in the reverse sequence to that in which they appear in each file.  The outcome code reported will be that of the file in which the item was first matched, if specified.  In an FEB2 broadcast type (two list columns) a matched item will be rejected even if e-mail transmission was specified to occur second.

Default:  No launch-time checking will be performed.

Example:

$dns_email  @FFBASE\dnsemail.ndx 200
