Parsing
- In this window, MDaemon will display default headers to be parsed for potential email addresses. These can be customized as needed.
- Check the Detect duplicate messages using this header check box to have MDaemon remember a header value and not process messages that match this value.
- Select which header you would like MDaemon to use to check values (Message-ID is default).
- If messages in the source host have email address inside of the subject header and parentheses, check this box.
- Check Parse 'Received:' headers for email addresses to check this header for parsable email addresses (enabled by default).
- Enter the number of Received headers you wish to skip. Use this if there are Received headers at the beginning of the message you do not want parsed for email addresses.
- If you would like MDaemon to cease parsing addresses after it finds a valid local address in a Received header, check Stop parsing if 'Received' yields a valid local address.
Processing
- Check Enable domain name replacement engine if you would like domain names parsed by MDaemon to be converted to the domain name specified in the next text box.
- Enter the domain you would like parsed domain names converted to here.
- Use Address Filtering to strip the designated text from parsed address.
- Check the applicable boxes to strip text from the left/right side or anywhere in the parsed address.
- Check Ignore unknown local addresses parsed from message to avoid a large number of 'No Such User' postmaster notifications (enabled by default).

- Trigger if the parsed address is equal to, is not equal to, contains, or does not contain.

- Choose to not deliver to the parsed address or select the option to send the message to the user or a group of users.
If Send to user or group or users is selected the fullowing window will display and allow you to choose from a list of available local users or add an new address.
Foreign Mail
- Here you can decided what should be done with non-local addresses parsed from cullected messages (...be ignored completely is checked by default).
- Exclude and Unless buttons will allow you to configure exceptions.
Name Matching
- Select Activate real name matchine engine if you would like MDaemon to attempt to determine the recipient based on non-address informaiton (such as a real name attached to a TO: header).
- Select Only apply this feature if the address portion matches this value allows you to specify if a particular address is present before using the name matching engine.
For example, if you enter user01@example.com in the text box, then 'TO: 'Michael Mason' ' would be a candidate for Name Matching while TO: 'Michael Mason' would not.
