QMQPD(8) QMQPD(8)

NAME
       qmqpd - Postfix QMQP server

SYNOPSIS
       qqmmqqppdd [generic Postfix daemon options]

DESCRIPTION
       The Postfix QMQP server receives one message per connection.  Each mes-
       sage is piped through the cclleeaannuupp(8) daemon, and  is  placed  into  the
       iinnccoommiinngg queue as one single queue file.  The program expects to be run
       from the mmaasstteerr(8) process manager.

       The QMQP server implements one access policy:  only  explicitly  autho-
       rized client hosts are allowed to use the service.

SSEECCUURRIITTYY
       The  QMQP  server  is  moderately  security-sensitive. It talks to QMQP
       clients and to DNS servers on the network. The QMQP server can  be  run
       chrooted at fixed low privilege.

DIAGNOSTICS       Problems and transactions are logged to ssyyssllooggdd(8).

BUGS
       The  QMQP protocol provides only one server reply per message delivery.
       It is therefore not possible to reject individual recipients.

       The QMQP protocol requires the server to  receive  the  entire  message
       before  replying. If a message is malformed, or if any netstring compo-
       nent is longer than acceptable, Postfix replies immediately and  closes
       the connection. It is left up to the client to handle the situation.
