|
|
<b>NAME</b>
|
|
smtp - Postfix SMTP client
|
|
|
|
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
|
|
<b>smtp</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]
|
|
|
|
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
|
|
The Postfix SMTP client processes message delivery
|
|
requests from the queue manager. Each request specifies a
|
|
queue file, a sender address, a domain or host to deliver
|
|
to, and recipient information. This program expects to be
|
|
run from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager.
|
|
|
|
The SMTP client updates the queue file and marks recipi-
|
|
ents as finished, or it informs the queue manager that
|
|
delivery should be tried again at a later time. Delivery
|
|
status reports are sent to the <a href="bounce.8.html"><b>bounce</b>(8)</a>, <a href="defer.8.html"><b>defer</b>(8)</a> or
|
|
<a href="trace.8.html"><b>trace</b>(8)</a> daemon as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
The SMTP client looks up a list of mail exchanger
|
|
addresses for the destination host, sorts the list by
|
|
preference, and connects to each listed address until it
|
|
finds a server that responds.
|
|
|
|
When a server is not reachable, or when mail delivery
|
|
fails due to a recoverable error condition, the SMTP
|
|
client will try to deliver the mail to an alternate host.
|
|
|
|
After a successful mail transaction, a connection may be
|
|
saved to the <a href="scache.8.html"><b>scache</b>(8)</a> connection cache server, so that it
|
|
may be used by any SMTP client for a subsequent transac-
|
|
tion.
|
|
|
|
By default, connection caching is enabled temporarily for
|
|
destinations that have a high volume of mail in the active
|
|
queue. Session caching can be enabled permanently for spe-
|
|
cific destinations.
|
|
|
|
<b>SECURITY</b>
|
|
The SMTP client is moderately security-sensitive. It talks
|
|
to SMTP servers and to DNS servers on the network. The
|
|
SMTP client can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege.

|
<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
|
|
Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8). Cor-
|
|
rupted message files are marked so that the queue manager
|
|
can move them to the <b>corrupt</b> queue for further inspection.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the setting of the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#notify_classes">notify_classes</a></b> parameter,
|
|
the postmaster is notified of bounces, protocol problems,
|
|
and of other trouble.
|
|
|
|
<b>BUGS</b>
|
|
SMTP connection caching does not work with TLS. The neces-
|
|
sary support for TLS object passivation and re-activation
|
|
does not exist without closing the session, which defeats
|
|
the purpose.
|
|
|
|
SMTP connection caching assumes that SASL credentials are
|
|
valid for all destinations that map onto the same IP
|
|
address and TCP port.
|
|
|
|
<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
|
|
Changes to <b>main.cf</b> are picked up automatically, as <a href="smtp.8.html"><b>smtp</b>(8)</a>
|
|
processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the
|
|
command "<b>postfix reload</b>" to speed up a change.
