postdrop - Postfix mail posting utility
|
|
|
|
<b><a name="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a></b>
|
|
<b>postdrop</b> [<b>-rv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>]
|
|
|
|
<b><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></b>
|
|
The <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a> command creates a file in the <b>maildrop</b> directory and
|
|
copies its standard input to the file.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
|
|
<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
|
|
The <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> 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 status information on standard
|
|
output. This is currently the only supported method.
|
|
|
|
<b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple <b>-v</b>
|
|
options make the software increasingly verbose. As of Postfix
|
|
2.3, this option is available for the super-user only.
|
|
|
|
<b><a name="security">SECURITY</a></b>
|
|
The command is designed to run with set-group ID privileges, so that it
|
|
can write to the <b>maildrop</b> queue directory and so that it can connect to
|
|
Postfix daemon processes.
|
|
|
|
<b><a name="diagnostics">DIAGNOSTICS</a></b>
|
|
Fatal errors: malformed input, I/O error, out of memory. Problems are
|
|
logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a> 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><a name="environment">ENVIRONMENT</a></b>
|
|
MAIL_CONFIG
|
|

|
|
|
<b>o</b> The name is listed in the standard <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file with the
