POSTDROP(1) POSTDROP(1)
<b>NAME</b>
postdrop - Postfix mail posting agent
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>postdrop</b> [<i>option</i> <i>...</i>]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The <b>postdrop</b> command creates a file in the <b>maildrop</b> direc-
tory and copies its standard input to the file.
The command is designed to run with set-gid privileges,
and with group write permission to the <b>maildrop</b> queue
directory.
The <b>postdrop</b> command is automatically invoked by the <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>send-</b></a>
<a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>mail</b>(1)</a> mail posting agent when the <b>maildrop</b> queue direc-
tory is not world-writable.
Options:
<b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Mul-
tiple <b>-v</b> options make the software increasingly
verbose.
<b>SECURITY</b>
This program is designed so that it can run with set-user
(or group) id privileges.
<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.
<b>ENVIRONMENT</b>
The program deletes all environment information, because
the C library can't be trusted.
<b>FILES</b>
/var/spool/postfix, mail queue
/etc/postfix, configuration files
<b>CONFIGURATION</b> <b>PARAMETERS</b>
