POSTDROP(1) POSTDROP(1)
<b>NAME</b>
postdrop - Postfix mail posting utility
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>postdrop</b> [<b>-rv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config_dir</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.
Options:
<b>-c</b> The <b>main.cf</b> configuration file is in the named
directory instead of the default configuration
directory. See also the MAIL_CONFIG environment
setting below.
<b>-r</b> Use a Postfix-internal protocol for reading the
message from standard input, and for reporting sta-
tus information on standard output. This is cur-
rently the only supported method.
<b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Mul-
tiple <b>-v</b> options make the software increasingly
verbose.
<b>SECURITY</b>
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.
<b>ENVIRONMENT</b>
MAIL_CONFIG
Directory with the <b>main.cf</b> file. In order to avoid
exploitation of set-group ID privileges, it is not
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.
Only the super-user is allowed to specify arbitrary
directory names.
<b>FILES</b>
/var/spool/postfix, mail queue
/etc/postfix, configuration files
<b>CONFIGURATION</b> <b>PARAMETERS</b>
See the Postfix <b>main.cf</b> file for syntax details and for
default values. Use the <b>postfix</b> <b>reload</b> command after a
configuration change.
<b>import</b><i>_</i><b>environment</b>
List of names of environment parameters that can be
imported from non-Postfix processes.
<b>queue</b><i>_</i><b>directory</b>
Top-level directory of the Postfix queue. This is
also the root directory of Postfix daemons that run
chrooted.
