Mail Routing Macros
(NOTE: Some of the techniques shown or described on this page--marked in purple--require new features in the latest official PIKT 1.19.0 release (pikt-current.tar.gz) that are unavailable in any previous version.)
The macros in the sample pikt_mail_macros.cfg configuration file below are used for routing PIKT alert mail to the appropriate system administrators. Note how, by means of #ifdef directives, we can switch the mail routing instantly when testing. Note, too, how by means of #if directives, we can include or exclude mail sendees for certain systems. Of course, your mail macro setup can be much simpler than this.
