|
|

|
|
rently the only supported method.

|
|
|
The command is designed to run with set-group ID privi-
|
|
|
|
leges, so that it can write to the <b>maildrop</b> queue direc-
|
|
|
|
tory and so that it can connect to Postfix daemon pro-
|
|
|
|
cesses.

|
<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
|
|
|
|
Fatal errors: malformed input, I/O error, out of memory.
|
|
|
|
Problems are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) and to the standard
|
|
|
|
error stream. When the input is incomplete, or when the
|
|
|
|
process receives a HUP, INT, QUIT or TERM signal, the
|
|
|
|
queue file is deleted.

MAIL_CONFIG
|
|
|
|
Directory with the <b>main.cf</b> file. In order to avoid

possible to specify arbitrary directory names.

|
|

A non-standard directory is allowed only if the
|
|
|
|
name is listed in the standard <b>main.cf</b> file, in the
|
|
|
|
<b>alternate</b><i>_</i><b>config</b><i>_</i><b>directories</b> configuration parame-
|

|
|
ter value.

|

|
|
|
directory names.
