.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.na
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBerror\fR [generic Postfix daemon options]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
The Postfix error mailer processes message delivery requests from
|
|
the queue manager. Each request specifies a queue file, a sender
|
|
address, a domain or host name that is treated as the reason for
|
|
non-delivery, and recipient information.
|
|
This program expects to be run from the \fBmaster\fR(8) process
|
|
manager.
|
|
|
|
The error mailer client forces all recipients to bounce, using the
|
|
domain or host information as the reason for non-delivery, updates
|
|
the queue file and marks recipients as finished, or it informs the
|
|
queue manager that delivery should be tried again at a later time.
|
|
|
|
Delivery problem reports are sent to the \fBbounce\fR(8) or
|
|
\fBdefer\fR(8) daemon as appropriate.
