<h1 class="chapter"> 16. The accept router </h1>
<p>The <code>accept</code> router has no private options of its own. Unless it is being
used purely for verification (see <code>verify_only</code>) a transport is required to
be defined by the generic <code>transport</code> option. If the preconditions that are
specified by generic options are met, the router accepts the address and queues
it for the given transport. The most common use of this router is for setting
up deliveries to local mailboxes. For example:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">localusers:
driver = accept
domains = mydomain.example
check_local_user
transport = local_delivery
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The <code>domains</code> condition in this example checks the domain of the address, and
<code>check_local_user</code> checks that the local part is the login of a local user.
When both preconditions are met, the <code>accept</code> router runs, and queues the
address for the <code>local_delivery</code> transport.
