NAME

smtpd - Postfix SMTP server

SYNOPSIS

ssmmttppdd [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 cclleeaannuupp(8) daemon, and is placed into the iinnccoommiinngg

queue as one single queue file. For this mode of operation, the pro-

gram expects to be run from the mmaasstteerr(8) process manager.

Alternatively, the SMTP server takes an established connection on stan-

dard input and deposits messages directly into the mmaaiillddrroopp queue. In

this so-called stand-alone mode, the SMTP server can accept mail even

while the mail system is not running. The SMTP server implements a variety of policies for connection requests, and for parameters given to HHEELLOO,, EETTRRNN,, MMAAIILL FFRROOMM,, VVRRFFYY and

RRCCPPTT TTOO commands. They are detailed below and in the mmaaiinn..ccff configura-

tion file. SSEECCUURRIITTYY

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. STANDARDS RFC 821 (SMTP protocol) RFC 1123 (Host requirements)

RFC 1652 (8bit-MIME transport)

RFC 1869 (SMTP service extensions) RFC 1870 (Message Size Declaration) RFC 1985 (ETRN command) RFC 2554 (AUTH command) RFC 2821 (SMTP protocol) RFC 2920 (SMTP Pipelining) DIAGNOSTICS Problems and transactions are logged to ssyyssllooggdd(8).

Depending on the setting of the nnoottiiffyyccllaasssseess parameter, the postmas-

ter is notified of bounces, protocol problems, policy violations, and of other trouble. CCOONNFFIIGGUURRAATTIIOONN PPAARRAAMMEETTEERRSS

Changes to mmaaiinn..ccff are picked up automatically, as smtpd(8) processes

run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "ppoossttffiixx rreellooaadd" to speed up a change. The text below provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details including examples. CCOOMMPPAATTIIBBIILLIITTYY CCOONNTTRROOLLSS The following parameters work around implementation errors in other software, and/or allow you to override standards in order to prevent undesirable use. bbrrookkeennssaassllaauutthhcclliieennttss ((nnoo))
