<b>NAME</b>
|
|
error - Postfix error mailer
|
|
|
|
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
|
|
<b>error</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]
|
|
|
|
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
|
|
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 <a href="master.8.html"><b>mas-</b></a>
|
|
<a href="master.8.html"><b>ter</b>(8)</a> 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 <a href="bounce.8.html"><b>bounce</b>(8)</a> or
|
|
<a href="defer.8.html"><b>defer</b>(8)</a> daemon as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
<b>SECURITY</b>
|
|
The error mailer is not security-sensitive. It does not
|
|
talk to the network, and can be run chrooted at fixed low
|
|
privilege.
|
|
|
|
<b>STANDARDS</b>
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
