    SMTPD(8)                                                              SMTPD(8)

    NAME
           smtpd - Postfix SMTP server

    SYNOPSIS
           smtpd [generic Postfix daemon options]

    DESCRIPTION
           The  SMTP  server  accepts network connection requests and
           performs zero or more SMTP  transactions  per  connection.
           Each received message is piped through the cleanup(8) dae-
           mon, and is placed into the incoming queue as  one  single
           queue  file.   For  this  mode  of  operation, the program
           expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.

           Alternatively, the SMTP server takes an  established  con-
           nection  on  standard input and deposits messages directly
           into the maildrop queue.  In  this  so-called  stand-alone
           mode,  the SMTP server can accept mail even while the mail
           system is not running.

           The SMTP server implements a variety of policies for  con-
           nection  requests, and for parameters given to HELO, ETRN,
           MAIL FROM, VRFY and RCPT TO commands.  They  are  detailed
           below and in the main.cf configuration file.

    SECURITY
           The SMTP server is moderately security-sensitive. It talks
           to SMTP clients and to DNS servers  on  the  network.  The
           SMTP server can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege.

    STANDARDS
           RFC 821 (SMTP protocol)
           RFC 1123 (Host requirements)
           RFC 1652 (8bit-MIME transport)
           RFC 1869 (SMTP service extensions)
           RFC 1870 (Message Size Declaration)
           RFC 1985 (ETRN command)
           RFC 2034 (Enhanced Status Codes)
           RFC 2554 (AUTH command)
           RFC 2821 (SMTP protocol)
           RFC 2920 (SMTP Pipelining)
           RFC 3207 (STARTTLS command)
           RFC 3461 (SMTP DSN Extension)
           RFC 3463 (Enhanced Status Codes)

    DIAGNOSTICS
           Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8).

           Depending  on the setting of the notify_classes parameter,
           the postmaster is notified of bounces, protocol  problems,
           policy violations, and of other trouble.

    CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
           Changes   to  main.cf  are  picked  up  automatically,  as
           smtpd(8) processes run for only a limited amount of  time.
           Use the command "postfix reload" to speed up a change.

           The  text  below  provides  only  a parameter summary. See
           postconf(5) for more details including examples.

    AFTER QUEUE EXTERNAL CONTENT INSPECTION CONTROLS
           As of version 1.0, Postfix can be configured to  send  new
           mail  to  an  external  content  filter  AFTER the mail is
           queued. This content filter is  expected  to  inject  mail
           back  into  a (Postfix or other) MTA for further delivery.

           As  of version 2.1, the Postfix SMTP server can be config-
           ured to send incoming mail to a real-time SMTP-based  con-
           tent filter BEFORE mail is queued.  This content filter is
           expected to  inject  mail  back  into  Postfix.   See  the

           ure and operate this feature.

           cate remote SMTP clients to the Postfix SMTP  server,  and

                  What  SMTP clients are allowed to specify the XVERP
                  command.

    TROUBLE SHOOTING CONTROLS
           The DEBUG_README document describes how to debug parts  of
           the  Postfix mail system. The methods vary from making the
           software log a lot of detail, to running some daemon  pro-
           cesses under control of a call tracer or debugger.

           debug_peer_level (2)
                  The  increment  in  verbose  logging  level  when a
                  remote client or server matches a  pattern  in  the
                  debug_peer_list parameter.

           debug_peer_list (empty)
                  Optional  list  of remote client or server hostname
                  or network address patterns that cause the  verbose
                  logging  level  to increase by the amount specified
                  in $debug_peer_level.

           error_notice_recipient (postmaster)
                  The recipient  of  postmaster  notifications  about
                  mail  delivery  problems that are caused by policy,
                  resource, software or protocol errors.

           notify_classes (resource, software)

                  feature.

    KNOWN VERSUS UNKNOWN RECIPIENT CONTROLS
           As  of  Postfix  version 2.0, the SMTP server rejects mail
           for unknown recipients. This prevents the mail queue  from
           clogging  up  with  undeliverable  MAILER-DAEMON messages.
           Additional  information  on   this   topic   is   in   the
           LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README and ADDRESS_CLASS_README documents.

           The per SMTP client connection count and request rate lim-
           its are implemented in co-operation with the anvil(8) ser-
           vice, and are available in Postfix version 2.2 and  later.

    TARPIT CONTROLS
           When a remote SMTP client makes errors, the  Postfix  SMTP
           server  can insert delays before responding. This can help
           to slow down run-away  software.   The  behavior  is  con-
           trolled  by  an  error  counter  that counts the number of
           errors within an SMTP session that a client makes  without
           delivering mail.

           smtpd_error_sleep_time (1s)
                  With   Postfix  2.1  and  later:  the  SMTP  server
                  response delay after a client has  made  more  than
                  $smtpd_soft_error_limit   errors,  and  fewer  than
                  $smtpd_hard_error_limit errors, without  delivering
                  mail.

           smtpd_soft_error_limit (10)
                  The  number  of  errors  a  remote  SMTP  client is
                  allowed to make without delivering mail before  the
                  Postfix SMTP server slows down all its responses.

           smtpd_hard_error_limit (20)
                  The  maximal  number of errors a remote SMTP client
                  is allowed to make without delivering mail.

           smtpd_junk_command_limit (100)
                  The number of junk commands (NOOP,  VRFY,  ETRN  or
                  RSET) that a remote SMTP client can send before the
                  Postfix SMTP server starts to increment  the  error
                  counter with each junk command.

           Available in Postfix version 2.1 and later:

           smtpd_recipient_overshoot_limit (1000)
                  The  number of recipients that a remote SMTP client
                  can send in excess  of  the  limit  specified  with
                  $smtpd_recipient_limit,  before  the  Postfix  SMTP
                  server increments the per-session error  count  for
                  each excess recipient.

    ACCESS POLICY DELEGATION CONTROLS
           As  of  version 2.1, Postfix can be configured to delegate
           access policy decisions to an external  server  that  runs
           outside  Postfix.   See  the  file SMTPD_POLICY_README for
           more information.

           smtpd_policy_service_max_idle (300s)
                  The time after which an idle SMTPD  policy  service
                  connection is closed.

           smtpd_policy_service_max_ttl (1000s)
                  The time after which an active SMTPD policy service
                  connection is closed.

           smtpd_policy_service_timeout (100s)
                  The time limit for connecting  to,  writing  to  or
                  receiving from a delegated SMTPD policy server.

    SENDER AND RECIPIENT ADDRESS VERIFICATION CONTROLS
           Postfix  version  2.1  introduces  sender  and   recipient
           address  verification.   This  feature  is  implemented by
           sending probe email messages that are not actually  deliv-
           ered.   This  feature  is requested via the reject_unveri-
           fied_sender   and    reject_unverified_recipient    access
           restrictions.   The status of verification probes is main-
           tained by the verify(8) server.  See the file ADDRESS_VER-
           IFICATION_README  for  information  about how to configure
           and operate the Postfix sender/recipient address verifica-
           tion service.
