Postfix SMTP server
SYNOPSIS
smtpd [generic Postfix daemon options]
DESCRIPTION
The SMTP server accepts network connection requests
and performs zero or more SMTP transactions per connection.
Each received message is piped through the cleanup(8)
daemon, and is placed into the incoming queue as one
single queue file. For this mode of operation, the program
expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.
Alternatively, the SMTP server be can run in stand-alone
mode; this is traditionally obtained with "sendmail
-bs". When the SMTP server runs stand-alone with non
$mail_owner privileges, it receives mail even while
the mail system is not running, deposits messages directly
into the maildrop queue, and disables the SMTP server's
access policies. As of Postfix version 2.3, the SMTP server
refuses to receive mail from the network when it runs with
non $mail_owner privileges.
The SMTP server implements a variety of policies for connection
requests, and for parameters given to HELO, ETRN, MAIL FROM, VRFY
and RCPT TO commands. They are detailed below and in the
main.cf configuration file.
SECURITY
The SMTP server is moderately security-sensitive. It talks to SMTP
clients and to DNS servers on the network. The SMTP server can be
run chrooted at fixed low privilege.
Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8).
Depending on the setting of the notify_classes parameter,
the postmaster is notified of bounces, protocol problems,
policy violations, and of other trouble.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically, as smtpd(8)
processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command
"postfix reload" to speed up a change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
postconf(5) for more details including examples.
COMPATIBILITY CONTROLS
The following parameters work around implementation errors in other
software, and/or allow you to override standards in order to prevent
undesirable use.
