Hello Sir,
First of all heartly thanks for replying me. While studying
code of local_scan function I understood that we read the values in to input
buffer and send it to dccifd. Dccifd returns the result of scaaning in form
A or R or S, accepted rejected receipent list and finally XDCC header that
we store in to outputbuffer. I have already look in to the document
available on www.exim.org for local_scan.
We check if in to local_scan function and then give the output accordingly.
This is what I understood about this local scan function.
Now I have some question for u sir, Kindly... answer me....
- First question is that What is that dccifd and it's role with
respect to local_scan function
- Second question is that what is this XDCC header. How it's diffrent
from the normal header.
- How is mail contents are sent ot dccifd i.e. what mechanism is
used.
Kindly give me the answer of questions
Waiting for your answer egarly
