/*++ /* NAME /* error 8 /* SUMMARY /* Postfix error mail delivery agent /* SYNOPSIS /* \fBerror\fR [generic Postfix daemon options] /* DESCRIPTION /* The Postfix \fBerror\fR(8) delivery agent processes 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 \fBmaster\fR(8) process /* manager. /* /* The \fBerror\fR(8) delivery agent bounces all recipients in the delivery /* request using the "next-hop" /* domain or host information as the reason for non-delivery, updates /* the queue file and marks recipients as finished or informs the /* queue manager that delivery should be tried again at a later time. /* /* Delivery status reports are sent to the \fBbounce\fR(8), /* \fBdefer\fR(8) or \fBtrace\fR(8) daemon as appropriate. /* SECURITY /* .ad /* .fi /* The \fBerror\fR(8) mailer is not security-sensitive. It does not talk /* to the network, and can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege. /* STANDARDS /* None. /* DIAGNOSTICS /* Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8). /* /* Depending on the setting of the \fBnotify_classes\fR parameter, /* the postmaster is notified of bounces and of other trouble. /* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS /* .ad /* .fi /* Changes to \fBmain.cf\fR are picked up automatically as \fBerror\fR(8) /* processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command /* "\fBpostfix reload\fR" to speed up a change. /* /* The text below provides only a parameter summary. See /* \fBpostconf\fR(5) for more details including examples. /* .IP "\fB2bounce_notice_recipient (postmaster)\fR" /* The recipient of undeliverable mail that cannot be returned to /* the sender. /* .IP "\fBbounce_notice_recipient (postmaster)\fR" /* The recipient of postmaster notifications with the message headers /* of mail that Postfix did not deliver and of SMTP conversation /* transcripts of mail that Postfix did not receive. /* .IP "\fBconfig_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR" /* The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf /* configuration files. /* .IP "\fBdaemon_timeout (18000s)\fR" /* How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a /* request before it is terminated by a built-in watchdog timer. /* .IP "\fBdouble_bounce_sender (double-bounce)\fR" /* The sender address of postmaster notifications that are generated /* by the mail system. /* .IP "\fBipc_timeout (3600s)\fR" /* The time limit for sending or receiving information over an internal /* communication channel. /* .IP "\fBmax_idle (100s)\fR" /* The maximum amount of time that an idle Postfix daemon process /* waits for the next service request before exiting. /* .IP "\fBmax_use (100)\fR" /* The maximal number of connection requests before a Postfix daemon /* process terminates. /* .IP "\fBnotify_classes (resource, software)\fR" /* The list of error classes that are reported to the postmaster. /* .IP "\fBprocess_id (read-only)\fR" /* The process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process. /* .IP "\fBprocess_name (read-only)\fR" /* The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process. /* .IP "\fBqueue_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR" /* The location of the Postfix top-level queue directory. /* .IP "\fBsyslog_facility (mail)\fR" /* The syslog facility of Postfix logging. /* .IP "\fBsyslog_name (postfix)\fR" /* The mail system name that is prepended to the process name in syslog /* records, so that "smtpd" becomes, for example, "postfix/smtpd". /* SEE ALSO /* qmgr(8), queue manager /* bounce(8), delivery status reports /* discard(8), Postfix discard delivery agent /* postconf(5), configuration parameters /* master(5), generic daemon options /* master(8), process manager /* syslogd(8), system logging /* LICENSE /* .ad /* .fi /* The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software. /* AUTHOR(S) /* Wietse Venema /* IBM T.J.
