The imsimta crdb -dump command writes the entries in MTA databases to a flat ASCII file. In particular, this command may be used to write the contents of an old style database to a file from which a new style database may be built using the imsimta crdb command.

Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
input-database-spec |
Database from which to read entries. By default, the MTA looks for a current format database of the given name; if this does not exist, the MTA will look for an old format database of the given name. The special keywords IMTA_ALIAS_DATABASE, IMTA_REVERSE_DATABASE, and IMTA_GENERAL_DATABASE are supported; the use of such a special keyword tells the MTA to dump the database specified by the corresponding MTA tailor file option. |
|
output-file-spec |
ASCII file to which the entries stored in the database are written. This file should be in a directory where you have write permissions. If an output file is not specified, the output is written to stdout. |
Examples
The following command can be used to dump the contents of an alias database to a file, and then to recreate the alias database from that file
imsimta crdb -dump IMTA_ALIAS_DATABASE alias.txt imsimta crdb alias.txt alias-tmp imsimta renamedb alias-tmp IMTA_ALIAS_DATABASE |
