Abstract

Defines the Internet hostname of this LISTSERV host.

Example

z/VM:

NODE = 'LISTSERV.MYHOST.NET'

Unix:

NODE="LISTSERV.MYHOST.NET"

export NODE

Windows:

NODE=LISTSERV.MYHOST.NET

Details

NODE= must be a fully-qualified address, as noted in the example. It must not be an IP address or a non-qualified address such as ‘LISTSERV’. NODE= may contain only one hostname.

Tip: If LISTSERV must accept mail for multiple hostnames, they should be set in the MYDOMAIN= variable, with the value of NODE= defined as the first hostname.

For testing/evaluation purposes only, you can define the NODE= as a square-bracketed, dotted-IP, for example, NODE=[aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd]. However, this is not officially supported and L-Soft will not accept registrations for servers using this nomenclature.

Default Value

None. This parameter must be set explicitly.

Wildcards

Not allowed.
