Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C160 Mode D'Emploi

Syntax:

 

 

KEY=VALUE

The 

XDFN

 command sets the per-recipient metadata. Note that key-value pairs can optionally be enclosed 

in angle brackets or square brackets. 

*PARTS

 is a special reserved variable that indicates the index number as defined by the 

XPRT

 command 

(described below). The 

*PARTS

 variable is split as a comma-delimited list of integers. The integers match 

the body parts to be sent as defined by the 

XPRT

 commands. The other reserved variables are: 

*FROM

, 

*TO

, 

and 

*DATE

. 

Syntax:

The 

XPRT

 command replaces the SMTP 

DATA

 command. The command accepts the transfer of the 

message part after the command is issued. The command is completed with a single period on a line 
followed by a return (which is the same way an SMTP 

DATA

 command is completed).

The special keyword 

 indicates the end of the mail merge job and must be used to specify the final 

part that will be injected.

After the 

LAST

 keyword is used, the message is queued, and delivery begins.

When you define variables with the 

XDFN

 command, note that the actual command line cannot exceed 

the physical limit of the system. In the case of the Cisco IronPort C350D appliance, this limit is 4 
kilobytes per line. Other host systems may have lower thresholds. Use caution when defining 
multiple variables on very large lines.

You can escape special characters using the forward slash “

/

” character when defining variables 

key-value pairs. This is useful if your message body contains HTML character entities that might be 
mistakenly replaced with variable definitions. (For example, the character entity 

™

 defines the 

HTML character entity for a trademark character. If you created the command 

XDFN trade=foo

 and 

then created a IPMM message containing the HTML character entity “

™

” the assembled 

message would contain the variable substitution (“

foo

”) instead of the trademark character. The 

same concept is true for the ampersand character “&” which is sometimes used in URLs containing 
GET commands. 

The following is an example IPMM conversation of Example Message #2 (shown above). The message 
will be sent to two recipients in this example: “Jane User” and “Joe User.”
