+\fBpostconf \-e\fR "\fIparameter=value\fR" ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix main.cf configuration file specifies parameters that
+control the operation of the Postfix mail system. Typically the
+file contains only a small subset of all parameters; parameters
+not specified are left at their default values.
+.PP
+The general format of the main.cf file is as follows:
+.IP \(bu
+Each logical line has the form "parameter = value".
+Whitespace around the "=" is ignored, as is whitespace at the
+end of a logical line.
+.IP \(bu
+Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as are lines
+whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP \(bu
+A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that starts
+with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.IP \(bu
+A parameter value may refer to other parameters.
+.RS
+.IP \(bu 
+The expressions "$name" and "${name}" are recursively replaced with
+the value of the named parameter. The parameter name must contain
+only characters from the set [a-zA-Z0-9_]. An undefined parameter
+value is replaced with the empty value.
+.IP \(bu
+The expressions "${name?value}" and "${name?{value}}" are replaced
+with "value" when "$name" is non-empty. The parameter name must
+contain only characters from the set [a-zA-Z0-9_]. These forms are
+supported with Postfix versions >= 2.2 and >= 3.0, respectively.
+.IP \(bu
+The expressions "${name:value}" and "${name:{value}}" are replaced
+with "value" when "$name" is empty. The parameter name must contain
+only characters from the set [a-zA-Z0-9_]. These forms are supported
+with Postfix versions >= 2.2 and >= 3.0, respectively.
+.IP \(bu
+The expression "${name?{value1}:{value2}}" is replaced with "value1"
+when "$name" is non-empty, and with "value2" when "$name" is empty.
+The "{}" is required for "value1", optional for "value2". The
+parameter name must contain only characters from the set [a-zA-Z0-9_].
+This form is supported with Postfix versions >= 3.0.
+.IP \(bu
+The first item inside "${...}" may be a relational expression of the
+form: "{value3} == {value4}". Besides the "==" (equality) operator
+Postfix supports "!=" (inequality), "<", "<=", ">=", and ">". The
+comparison is numerical when both operands are all digits, otherwise
+the comparison is lexicographical. These forms are supported with
+Postfix versions >= 3.0.
+.IP \(bu
+Each "value" is subject to recursive named parameter and relational
+expression evaluation, except where noted.
+.IP \(bu
+Whitespace before or after each "{value}" is ignored.
+.IP \(bu
+Specify "$$" to produce a single "$" character.
+.IP \(bu
+The legacy form "$(...)" is equivalent to the preferred form "${...}".
+.RE
+.IP \(bu
+When the same parameter is defined multiple times, only the last
+instance is remembered.
+.IP \(bu
+Otherwise, the order of main.cf parameter definitions does not matter.
+.PP
+The remainder of this document is a description of all Postfix
+configuration parameters. Default values are shown after the 
+parameter name in parentheses, and can be looked up with the
+"\fBpostconf \-d\fR" command. 
+.PP
+Note: this is not an invitation to make changes to Postfix
+configuration parameters. Unnecessary changes can impair the
+operation of the mail system.
+.SH 2bounce_notice_recipient (default: postmaster)
+The recipient of undeliverable mail that cannot be returned to
+the sender.  This feature is enabled with the notify_classes
+parameter.
+.SH access_map_defer_code (default: 450)
+The numerical Postfix SMTP server response code for
+an \fBaccess\fR(5) map "defer" action, including "defer_if_permit"
+or "defer_if_reject". Prior to Postfix 2.6, the response
+is hard\-coded as "450".
+.PP
+Do not change this unless you have a complete understanding of RFC 5321.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later.
+.SH access_map_reject_code (default: 554)
+The numerical Postfix SMTP server response code for
+an \fBaccess\fR(5) map "reject" action.
+.PP
+Do not change this unless you have a complete understanding of RFC 5321.
+.SH address_verify_cache_cleanup_interval (default: 12h)
+The amount of time between \fBverify\fR(8) address verification
+database cleanup runs. This feature requires that the database
+supports the "delete" and "sequence" operators.  Specify a zero
+interval to disable database cleanup.
+.PP
+After each database cleanup run, the \fBverify\fR(8) daemon logs the
+number of entries that were retained and dropped. A cleanup run is
+logged as "partial" when the daemon terminates early after "\fBpostfix
+reload\fR", "\fBpostfix stop\fR", or no requests for $max_idle
+seconds.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w
+(weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.7.
+.SH address_verify_default_transport (default: $default_transport)
+Overrides the default_transport parameter setting for address
+verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_local_transport (default: $local_transport)
+Overrides the local_transport parameter setting for address
+verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_map (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+Lookup table for persistent address verification status
+storage.  The table is maintained by the \fBverify\fR(8) service, and
+is opened before the process releases privileges.
+.PP
+The lookup table is persistent by default (Postfix 2.7 and later).
+Specify an empty table name to keep the information in volatile
+memory which is lost after "\fBpostfix reload\fR" or "\fBpostfix
+stop\fR". This is the default with Postfix version 2.6 and earlier.
+.PP
+Specify a location in a file system that will not fill up. If the
+database becomes corrupted, the world comes to an end. To recover
+delete (NOT: truncate) the file and do "\fBpostfix reload\fR".
+.PP
+Postfix daemon processes do not use root privileges when opening
+this file (Postfix 2.5 and later).  The file must therefore be
+stored under a Postfix\-owned directory such as the data_directory.
+As a migration aid, an attempt to open the file under a non\-Postfix
+directory is redirected to the Postfix\-owned data_directory, and a
+warning is logged.
+.PP
+Examples:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+address_verify_map = hash:/var/lib/postfix/verify
+address_verify_map = btree:/var/lib/postfix/verify
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_negative_cache (default: yes)
+Enable caching of failed address verification probe results.  When
+this feature is enabled, the cache may pollute quickly with garbage.
+When this feature is disabled, Postfix will generate an address
+probe for every lookup.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_negative_expire_time (default: 3d)
+The time after which a failed probe expires from the address
+verification cache.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_negative_refresh_time (default: 3h)
+The time after which a failed address verification probe needs to
+be refreshed.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_pending_request_limit (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+A safety limit that prevents address verification requests from
+overwhelming the Postfix queue. By default, the number of pending
+requests is limited to 1/4 of the active queue maximum size
+(qmgr_message_active_limit). The queue manager enforces the limit
+by tempfailing requests that exceed the limit. This affects only
+unknown addresses and inactive addresses that have expired, because
+the \fBverify\fR(8) daemon automatically refreshes an active address
+before it expires.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_poll_count (default: normal: 3, overload: 1)
+How many times to query the \fBverify\fR(8) service for the completion
+of an address verification request in progress.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP server polls the \fBverify\fR(8) service
+up to three times under non\-overload conditions, and only once when
+under overload.  With Postfix version 2.5 and earlier, the SMTP
+server always polls the \fBverify\fR(8) service up to three times by
+default.
+.PP
+Specify 1 to implement a crude form of greylisting, that is, always
+defer the first delivery request for a new address.
+.PP
+Examples:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+# Postfix <= 2.6 default
+address_verify_poll_count = 3
+# Poor man's greylisting
+address_verify_poll_count = 1
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_poll_delay (default: 3s)
+The delay between queries for the completion of an address
+verification request in progress.
+.PP
+The default polling delay is 3 seconds.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_positive_expire_time (default: 31d)
+The time after which a successful probe expires from the address
+verification cache.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_positive_refresh_time (default: 7d)
+The time after which a successful address verification probe needs
+to be refreshed.  The address verification status is not updated
+when the probe fails (optimistic caching).
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_relay_transport (default: $relay_transport)
+Overrides the relay_transport parameter setting for address
+verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_relayhost (default: $relayhost)
+Overrides the relayhost parameter setting for address verification
+probes. This information can be overruled with the \fBtransport\fR(5) table.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_sender (default: $double_bounce_sender)
+The sender address to use in address verification probes; prior
+to Postfix 2.5 the default was "postmaster". To
+avoid problems with address probes that are sent in response to
+address probes, the Postfix SMTP server excludes the probe sender
+address from all SMTPD access blocks.
+.PP
+Specify an empty value (address_verify_sender =) or <> if you want
+to use the null sender address. Beware, some sites reject mail from
+<>, even though RFCs require that such addresses be accepted.
+.PP
+Examples:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+address_verify_sender = <>
+address_verify_sender = postmaster@my.domain
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_sender_dependent_default_transport_maps (default: $sender_dependent_default_transport_maps)
+Overrides the sender_dependent_default_transport_maps parameter
+setting for address verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
+.SH address_verify_sender_dependent_relayhost_maps (default: $sender_dependent_relayhost_maps)
+Overrides the sender_dependent_relayhost_maps parameter setting for address
+verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH address_verify_sender_ttl (default: 0s)
+The time between changes in the time\-dependent portion of address
+verification probe sender addresses. The time\-dependent portion is
+appended to the localpart of the address specified with the
+address_verify_sender parameter. This feature is ignored when the
+probe sender addresses is the null sender, i.e. the address_verify_sender
+value is empty or <>.
+.PP
+Historically, the probe sender address was fixed. This has
+caused such addresses to end up on spammer mailing lists, and has
+resulted in wasted network and processing resources.
+.PP
+To enable time\-dependent probe sender addresses, specify a
+non\-zero time value (an integral value plus an optional one\-letter
+suffix that specifies the time unit).  Specify a value of at least
+several hours, to avoid problems with senders that use greylisting.
+Avoid nice TTL values, to make the result less predictable.  Time
+units are: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.9 and later.
+.SH address_verify_service_name (default: verify)
+The name of the \fBverify\fR(8) address verification service. This service
+maintains the status of sender and/or recipient address verification
+probes, and generates probes on request by other Postfix processes.
+.SH address_verify_transport_maps (default: $transport_maps)
+Overrides the transport_maps parameter setting for address verification
+probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_virtual_transport (default: $virtual_transport)
+Overrides the virtual_transport parameter setting for address
+verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH alias_database (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The alias databases for \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery that are updated with
+"\fBnewaliases\fR" or with "\fBsendmail \-bi\fR".
+.PP
+This is a separate configuration parameter because not all the
+tables specified with $alias_maps have to be local files.
+.PP
+Examples:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
+alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH alias_maps (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The alias databases that are used for \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery. See
+\fBaliases\fR(5) for syntax details.
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+Note: these lookups are recursive.
+.PP
+The default list is system dependent.  On systems with NIS, the
+default is to search the local alias database, then the NIS alias
+database.
+.PP
+If you change the alias database, run "\fBpostalias /etc/aliases\fR"
+(or wherever your system stores the mail alias file), or simply
+run "\fBnewaliases\fR" to build the necessary DBM or DB file.
+.PP
+The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent disallows regular expression substitution
+of $1 etc. in alias_maps, because that would open a security hole.
+.PP
+The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent will silently ignore requests to use
+the \fBproxymap\fR(8) server within alias_maps. Instead it will open the
+table directly. Before Postfix version 2.2, the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery
+agent will terminate with a fatal error.
+.PP
+Examples:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases
+alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH allow_mail_to_commands (default: alias, forward)
+Restrict \fBlocal\fR(8) mail delivery to external commands.  The default
+is to disallow delivery to "|command" in :include:  files (see
+\fBaliases\fR(5) for the text that defines this terminology).
+.PP
+Specify zero or more of: \fBalias\fR, \fBforward\fR or \fBinclude\fR,
+in order to allow commands in \fBaliases\fR(5), .forward files or in
+:include:  files, respectively.
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+allow_mail_to_commands = alias,forward,include
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH allow_mail_to_files (default: alias, forward)
+Restrict \fBlocal\fR(8) mail delivery to external files. The default is
+to disallow "/file/name" destinations in :include:  files (see
+\fBaliases\fR(5) for the text that defines this terminology).
+.PP
+Specify zero or more of: \fBalias\fR, \fBforward\fR or \fBinclude\fR,
+in order to allow "/file/name" destinations in \fBaliases\fR(5), .forward
+files and in :include:  files, respectively.
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+allow_mail_to_files = alias,forward,include
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH allow_min_user (default: no)
+Allow a sender or recipient address to have `\-' as the first
+character.  By
+default, this is not allowed, to avoid accidents with software that
+passes email addresses via the command line. Such software
+would not be able to distinguish a malicious address from a
+bona fide command\-line option. Although this can be prevented by
+inserting a "\-\-" option terminator into the command line, this is
+difficult to enforce consistently and globally.
+.PP
+As of Postfix version 2.5, this feature is implemented by
+trivial\-\fBrewrite\fR(8).  With earlier versions this feature was implemented
+by \fBqmgr\fR(8) and was limited to recipient addresses only.
+.SH allow_percent_hack (default: yes)
+Enable the rewriting of the form "user%domain" to "user@domain".
+This is enabled by default.
+.PP
+Note: as of Postfix version 2.2, message header address rewriting
+happens only when one of the following conditions is true:
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received with the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from a network client that matches
+$local_header_rewrite_clients,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from the network, and the
+remote_header_rewrite_domain parameter specifies a non\-empty value.
+.br
+.PP
+To get the behavior before Postfix version 2.2, specify
+"local_header_rewrite_clients = static:all".
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+allow_percent_hack = no
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH allow_untrusted_routing (default: no)
+Forward mail with sender\-specified routing (user[@%!]remote[@%!]site)
+from untrusted clients to destinations matching $relay_domains.
+.PP
+By default, this feature is turned off.  This closes a nasty open
+relay loophole where a backup MX host can be tricked into forwarding
+junk mail to a primary MX host which then spams it out to the world.
+.PP
+This parameter also controls if non\-local addresses with sender\-specified
+routing can match Postfix access tables. By default, such addresses
+cannot match Postfix access tables, because the address is ambiguous.
+.SH alternate_config_directories (default: empty)
+A list of non\-default Postfix configuration directories that may
+be specified with "\-c config_directory" on the command line (in the
+case of \fBsendmail\fR(1), with the "\-C" option), or via the MAIL_CONFIG
+environment parameter.
+.PP
+This list must be specified in the default Postfix main.cf file,
+and will be used by set\-gid Postfix commands such as \fBpostqueue\fR(1)
+and \fBpostdrop\fR(1).
+.PP
+Specify absolute pathnames, separated by comma or space. Note: $name
+expansion is not supported.
+.SH always_add_missing_headers (default: no)
+Always add (Resent\-) From:, To:, Date: or Message\-ID: headers
+when not present.  Postfix 2.6 and later add these headers only
+when clients match the local_header_rewrite_clients parameter
+setting.  Earlier Postfix versions always add these headers; this
+may break DKIM signatures that cover non\-existent headers.
+The undisclosed_recipients_header parameter setting determines
+whether a To: header will be added.
+.SH always_bcc (default: empty)
+Optional address that receives a "blind carbon copy" of each message
+that is received by the Postfix mail system.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix 2.3 and later the BCC address is added as if it
+was specified with NOTIFY=NONE. The sender will not be notified
+when the BCC address is undeliverable, as long as all down\-stream
+software implements RFC 3461.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix 2.2 and earlier the sender will be notified
+when the BCC address is undeliverable.
+.PP
+Note: automatic BCC recipients are produced only for new mail.
+To avoid mailer loops, automatic BCC recipients are not generated
+after Postfix forwards mail internally, or after Postfix generates
+mail itself.
+.SH anvil_rate_time_unit (default: 60s)
+The time unit over which client connection rates and other rates
+are calculated.
+.PP
+This feature is implemented by the \fBanvil\fR(8) service which is available
+in Postfix version 2.2 and later.
+.PP
+The default interval is relatively short. Because of the high
+frequency of updates, the \fBanvil\fR(8) server uses volatile memory
+only. Thus, information is lost whenever the process terminates.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH anvil_status_update_time (default: 600s)
+How frequently the \fBanvil\fR(8) connection and rate limiting server
+logs peak usage information.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH append_at_myorigin (default: yes)
+With locally submitted mail, append the string "@$myorigin" to mail
+addresses without domain information. With remotely submitted mail,
+append the string "@$remote_header_rewrite_domain" instead.
+.PP
+Note 1: this feature is enabled by default and must not be turned off.
+Postfix does not support domain\-less addresses.
+.PP
+Note 2: with Postfix version 2.2, message header address rewriting
+happens only when one of the following conditions is true:
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received with the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from a network client that matches
+$local_header_rewrite_clients,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from the network, and the
+remote_header_rewrite_domain parameter specifies a non\-empty value.
+.br
+.PP
+To get the behavior before Postfix version 2.2, specify
+"local_header_rewrite_clients = static:all".
+.SH append_dot_mydomain (default: Postfix >= 3.0: no, Postfix < 3.0: yes)
+With locally submitted mail, append the string ".$mydomain" to
+addresses that have no ".domain" information. With remotely submitted
+mail, append the string ".$remote_header_rewrite_domain"
+instead.
+.PP
+Note 1: this feature is enabled by default. If disabled, users will not be
+able to send mail to "user@partialdomainname" but will have to
+specify full domain names instead.
+.PP
+Note 2: with Postfix version 2.2, message header address rewriting
+happens only when one of the following conditions is true:
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received with the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from a network client that matches
+$local_header_rewrite_clients,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from the network, and the
+remote_header_rewrite_domain parameter specifies a non\-empty value.
+.br
+.PP
+To get the behavior before Postfix version 2.2, specify
+"local_header_rewrite_clients = static:all".
+.SH application_event_drain_time (default: 100s)
+How long the \fBpostkick\fR(1) command waits for a request to enter the
+Postfix daemon process input buffer before giving up.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH authorized_flush_users (default: static:anyone)
+List of users who are authorized to flush the queue.
+.PP
+By default, all users are allowed to flush the queue.  Access is
+always granted if the invoking user is the super\-user or the
+$mail_owner user.  Otherwise, the real UID of the process is looked
+up in the system password file, and access is granted only if the
+corresponding login name is on the access list.  The username
+"unknown" is used for processes whose real UID is not found in the
+password file.
+.PP
+Specify a list of user names, "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns,
+separated by commas and/or whitespace. The list is matched left to
+right, and the search stops on the first match. A "/file/name"
+pattern is replaced
+by its contents; a "type:table" lookup table is matched when a name
+matches a lookup key (the lookup result is ignored).  Continue long
+lines by starting the next line with whitespace. Specify "!pattern"
+to exclude a name from the list. The form "!/file/name" is supported
+only in Postfix version 2.4 and later.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH authorized_mailq_users (default: static:anyone)
+List of users who are authorized to view the queue.
+.PP
+By default, all users are allowed to view the queue.  Access is
+always granted if the invoking user is the super\-user or the
+$mail_owner user.  Otherwise, the real UID of the process is looked
+up in the system password file, and access is granted only if the
+corresponding login name is on the access list.  The username
+"unknown" is used for processes whose real UID is not found in the
+password file.
+.PP
+Specify a list of user names, "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns,
+separated by commas and/or whitespace. The list is matched left to
+right, and the search stops on the first match. A "/file/name"
+pattern is replaced
+by its contents; a "type:table" lookup table is matched when a name
+matches a lookup key (the lookup result is ignored).  Continue long
+lines by starting the next line with whitespace. Specify "!pattern"
+to exclude a user name from the list. The form "!/file/name" is
+supported only in Postfix version 2.4 and later.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH authorized_submit_users (default: static:anyone)
+List of users who are authorized to submit mail with the \fBsendmail\fR(1)
+command (and with the privileged \fBpostdrop\fR(1) helper command).
+.PP
+By default, all users are allowed to submit mail.  Otherwise, the
+real UID of the process is looked up in the system password file,
+and access is granted only if the corresponding login name is on
+the access list.  The username "unknown" is used for processes
+whose real UID is not found in the password file. To deny mail
+submission access to all users specify an empty list.
+.PP
+Specify a list of user names, "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns,
+separated by commas and/or whitespace. The list is matched left to right,
+and the search stops on the first match. A "/file/name" pattern is

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH authorized_verp_clients (default: $mynetworks)
+What remote SMTP clients are allowed to specify the XVERP command.
+This command requests that mail be delivered one recipient at a
+time with a per recipient return address.
+.PP
+By default, only trusted clients are allowed to specify XVERP.
+.PP
+This parameter was introduced with Postfix version 1.1.  Postfix
+version 2.1 renamed this parameter to smtpd_authorized_verp_clients
+and changed the default to none.
+.PP
+Specify a list of network/netmask patterns, separated by commas
+and/or whitespace. The mask specifies the number of bits in the
+network part of a host address. You can also specify hostnames or
+\&.domain names (the initial dot causes the domain to match any name
+below it),  "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns.  A "/file/name"
+pattern is replaced by its contents; a "type:table" lookup table
+is matched when a table entry matches a lookup string (the lookup
+result is ignored).  Continue long lines by starting the next line
+with whitespace. Specify "!pattern" to exclude an address or network
+block from the list. The form "!/file/name" is supported only in
+Postfix version 2.4 and later.
+.PP
+Note: IP version 6 address information must be specified inside
+[] in the authorized_verp_clients value, and in files
+specified with "/file/name".  IP version 6 addresses contain the
+":" character, and would otherwise be confused with a "type:table"
+pattern.
+.SH backwards_bounce_logfile_compatibility (default: yes)
+Produce additional \fBbounce\fR(8) logfile records that can be read by
+Postfix versions before 2.0. The current and more extensible "name =
+value" format is needed in order to implement more sophisticated
+functionality.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH berkeley_db_create_buffer_size (default: 16777216)
+The per\-table I/O buffer size for programs that create Berkeley DB
+hash or btree tables.  Specify a byte count.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH berkeley_db_read_buffer_size (default: 131072)
+The per\-table I/O buffer size for programs that read Berkeley DB
+hash or btree tables.  Specify a byte count.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH best_mx_transport (default: empty)
+Where the Postfix SMTP client should deliver mail when it detects
+a "mail loops back to myself" error condition. This happens when
+the local MTA is the best SMTP mail exchanger for a destination
+not listed in $mydestination, $inet_interfaces, $proxy_interfaces,
+$virtual_alias_domains, or $virtual_mailbox_domains.  By default,
+the Postfix SMTP client returns such mail as undeliverable.
+.PP
+Specify, for example, "best_mx_transport = local" to pass the mail
+from the Postfix SMTP client to the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent. You
+can specify
+any message delivery "transport" or "transport:nexthop" that is
+defined in the master.cf file. See the \fBtransport\fR(5) manual page
+for the syntax and meaning of "transport" or "transport:nexthop".
+.PP
+However, this feature is expensive because it ties up a Postfix
+SMTP client process while the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent is doing its
+work. It is more efficient (for Postfix) to list all hosted domains
+in a table or database.
+.SH biff (default: yes)
+Whether or not to use the local biff service.  This service sends
+"new mail" notifications to users who have requested new mail
+notification with the UNIX command "biff y".
+.PP
+For compatibility reasons this feature is on by default.  On systems
+with lots of interactive users, the biff service can be a performance
+drain.  Specify "biff = no" in main.cf to disable.
+.SH body_checks (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables for content inspection as specified in
+the \fBbody_checks\fR(5) manual page.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix versions before 2.0, these rules inspect
+all content after the primary message headers.
+.SH body_checks_size_limit (default: 51200)
+How much text in a message body segment (or attachment, if you
+prefer to use that term) is subjected to body_checks inspection.
+The amount of text is limited to avoid scanning huge attachments.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH bounce_notice_recipient (default: postmaster)
+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.  This feature is
+enabled with the notify_classes parameter.
+.SH bounce_queue_lifetime (default: 5d)
+Consider a bounce message as undeliverable, when delivery fails
+with a temporary error, and the time in the queue has reached the
+bounce_queue_lifetime limit.  By default, this limit is the same
+as for regular mail.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is d (days).
+.PP
+Specify 0 when mail delivery should be tried only once.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH bounce_service_name (default: bounce)
+The name of the \fBbounce\fR(8) service. This service maintains a record
+of failed delivery attempts and generates non\-delivery notifications.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH bounce_size_limit (default: 50000)
+The maximal amount of original message text that is sent in a
+non\-delivery notification. Specify a byte count.  A message is
+returned as either message/rfc822 (the complete original) or as
+text/rfc822\-headers (the headers only).  With Postfix version 2.4
+and earlier, a message is always returned as message/rfc822 and is
+truncated when it exceeds the size limit.
+.PP
+Notes:
+.IP \(bu
+If you increase this limit, then you should increase the
+mime_nesting_limit value proportionally.
+.IP \(bu
+Be careful when making changes.  Excessively large values
+will result in the loss of non\-delivery notifications, when a bounce
+message size exceeds a local or remote MTA's message size limit.
+.br
+.SH bounce_template_file (default: empty)
+Pathname of a configuration file with bounce message templates.
+These override the built\-in templates of delivery status notification
+(DSN) messages for undeliverable mail, for delayed mail, successful
+delivery, or delivery verification. The \fBbounce\fR(5) manual page
+describes how to edit and test template files.
+.PP
+Template message body text may contain $name references to
+Postfix configuration parameters. The result of $name expansion can
+be previewed with "\fBpostconf \-b \fIfile_name\fR\fR" before the file
+is placed into the Postfix configuration directory.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH broken_sasl_auth_clients (default: no)
+Enable interoperability with remote SMTP clients that implement an obsolete
+version of the AUTH command (RFC 4954). Examples of such clients
+are MicroSoft Outlook Express version 4 and MicroSoft Exchange
+version 5.0.
+.PP
+Specify "broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes" to have Postfix advertise
+AUTH support in a non\-standard way.
+.SH canonical_classes (default: envelope_sender, envelope_recipient, header_sender, header_recipient)
+What addresses are subject to canonical_maps address mapping.
+By default, canonical_maps address mapping is applied to envelope
+sender and recipient addresses, and to header sender and header
+recipient addresses.
+.PP
+Specify one or more of: envelope_sender, envelope_recipient,
+header_sender, header_recipient
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH canonical_maps (default: empty)
+Optional address mapping lookup tables for message headers and
+envelopes. The mapping is applied to both sender and recipient
+addresses, in both envelopes and in headers, as controlled
+with the canonical_classes parameter. This is typically used
+to clean up dirty addresses from legacy mail systems, or to replace
+login names by Firstname.Lastname.  The table format and lookups
+are documented in \fBcanonical\fR(5). For an overview of Postfix address
+manipulations see the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+Note: these lookups are recursive.
+.PP
+If you use this feature, run "\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/canonical\fR" to
+build the necessary DBM or DB file after every change. The changes
+will become visible after a minute or so.  Use "\fBpostfix reload\fR"
+to eliminate the delay.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix version 2.2, message header address mapping
+happens only when message header address rewriting is enabled:
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received with the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from a network client that matches
+$local_header_rewrite_clients,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from the network, and the
+remote_header_rewrite_domain parameter specifies a non\-empty value.
+.br
+.PP

+.SH cleanup_service_name (default: cleanup)
+The name of the \fBcleanup\fR(8) service. This service rewrites addresses
+into the standard form, and performs \fBcanonical\fR(5) address mapping
+and \fBvirtual\fR(5) aliasing.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH command_directory (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The location of all postfix administrative commands.
+.SH command_execution_directory (default: empty)
+The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent working directory for delivery to
+external command.  Failure to change directory causes the delivery
+to be deferred.
+.PP
+The command_execution_directory value is not subject to Postfix
+configuration parameter $name expansion. Instead, the following
+$name expansions are done on command_execution_directory before the
+directory is used. Expansion happens in the context
+of the delivery request.  The result of $name expansion is filtered
+with the character set that is specified with the
+execution_directory_expansion_filter parameter.
+.IP "\fB$user\fR"
+The recipient's username.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$shell\fR"
+The recipient's login shell pathname.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$home\fR"
+The recipient's home directory.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient\fR"
+The full recipient address.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$extension\fR"
+The optional recipient address extension.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$domain\fR"
+The recipient domain.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$local\fR"
+The entire recipient localpart.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient_delimiter\fR"
+The address extension delimiter that was found in the recipient
+address (Postfix 2.11 and later), or the system\-wide recipient
+address extension delimiter (Postfix 2.10 and earlier).
+.br
+.IP "\fB${name?value}\fR"
+Expands to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR is non\-empty.
+.br
+.IP "\fB${name:value}\fR"
+Expands to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR is empty.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Instead of $name you can also specify ${name} or $(name).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH command_expansion_filter (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+Restrict the characters that the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent allows in
+$name expansions of $mailbox_command and $command_execution_directory.
+Characters outside the
+allowed set are replaced by underscores.
+.SH command_time_limit (default: 1000s)
+Time limit for delivery to external commands. This limit is used
+by the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent, and is the default time limit for
+delivery by the \fBpipe\fR(8) delivery agent.
+.PP
+Note: if you set this time limit to a large value you must update the
+global ipc_timeout parameter as well.
+.SH compatibility_level (default: 0)
+A safety net that causes Postfix to run with backwards\-compatible
+default settings after an upgrade to a newer Postfix version.
+.PP
+With backwards compatibility turned on (the main.cf compatibility_level
+value is less than the Postfix built\-in value), Postfix looks for
+settings that are left at their implicit default value, and logs a

+The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf
+configuration files. This can be overruled via the following
+mechanisms:
+.IP \(bu
+The MAIL_CONFIG environment variable (daemon processes
+and commands).
+.IP \(bu
+The "\-c" command\-line option (commands only).
+.br
+.PP
+With Postfix command that run with set\-gid privileges, a
+config_directory override requires either root privileges, or it
+requires that the directory is listed with the alternate_config_directories
+parameter in the default main.cf file.
+.SH confirm_delay_cleared (default: no)
+After sending a "your message is delayed" notification, inform
+the sender when the delay clears up. This can result in a sudden
+burst of notifications at the end of a prolonged network outage,
+and is therefore disabled by default.
+.PP
+See also: delay_warning_time.

+Time limit for connection cache connect, send or receive
+operations.  The time limit is enforced in the client.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH connection_cache_service_name (default: scache)
+The name of the \fBscache\fR(8) connection cache service.  This service
+maintains a limited pool of cached sessions.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH connection_cache_status_update_time (default: 600s)
+How frequently the \fBscache\fR(8) server logs usage statistics with
+connection cache hit and miss rates for logical destinations and for
+physical endpoints.
+.SH connection_cache_ttl_limit (default: 2s)
+The maximal time\-to\-live value that the \fBscache\fR(8) connection
+cache server
+allows. Requests that specify a larger TTL will be stored with the
+maximum allowed TTL. The purpose of this additional control is to
+protect the infrastructure against careless people. The cache TTL
+is already bounded by $max_idle.
+.SH content_filter (default: empty)
+After the message is queued, send the entire message to the
+specified \fItransport:destination\fR. The \fItransport\fR name
+specifies the first field of a mail delivery agent definition in
+master.cf; the syntax of the next\-hop \fIdestination\fR is described
+in the manual page of the corresponding delivery agent.  More
+information about external content filters is in the Postfix
+FILTER_README file.

+Notes:
+.IP \(bu
+This setting has lower precedence than a FILTER action
+that is specified in an \fBaccess\fR(5), \fBheader_checks\fR(5) or \fBbody_checks\fR(5)
+table.
+.IP \(bu
+The meaning of an empty next\-hop filter \fIdestination\fR
+is version dependent.  Postfix 2.7 and later will use the recipient
+domain; earlier versions will use $myhostname.  Specify
+"default_filter_nexthop = $myhostname" for compatibility with Postfix
+2.6 or earlier, or specify a content_filter value with an explicit
+next\-hop \fIdestination\fR.

+.SH cyrus_sasl_config_path (default: empty)
+Search path for Cyrus SASL application configuration files,

+or an empty value to use Cyrus SASL's built\-in search path.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later when compiled
+with Cyrus SASL 2.1.22 or later.
+.SH daemon_directory (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The directory with Postfix support programs and daemon programs.
+These should not be invoked directly by humans. The directory must
+be owned by root.
+.SH daemon_table_open_error_is_fatal (default: no)
+How a Postfix daemon process handles errors while opening lookup
+tables: gradual degradation or immediate termination.
+.IP "\fB no \fR (default)"
+Gradual degradation: a
+daemon process logs a message of type "error" and continues execution
+with reduced functionality. Features that do not depend on the
+unavailable table will work normally, while features that depend
+on the table will result in a type "warning" message.
+.br
+When
+the notify_classes parameter value contains the "data" class, the
+Postfix SMTP server and client will report transcripts of sessions
+with an error because a table is unavailable.
+.br
+.IP "\fB yes \fR (historical behavior)"
+Immediate
+termination: a daemon process logs a type "fatal" message and
+terminates immediately.  This option reduces the number of possible
+code paths through Postfix, and may therefore be slightly more
+secure than the default.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+For the sake of sanity, the number of type "error" messages is
+limited to 13 over the lifetime of a daemon process.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.9 and later.
+.SH daemon_timeout (default: 18000s)
+How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a
+request before it is terminated by a built\-in watchdog timer.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH data_directory (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The directory with Postfix\-writable data files (for example:
+caches, pseudo\-random numbers).  This directory must be owned by
+the mail_owner account, and must not be shared with non\-Postfix
+software.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH debug_peer_level (default: 2)
+The increment in verbose logging level when a remote client or
+server matches a pattern in the debug_peer_list parameter.
+.SH debug_peer_list (default: 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.
+.PP
+Specify domain names, network/netmask patterns, "/file/name"
+patterns or "type:table" lookup tables. The right\-hand side result
+from "type:table" lookups is ignored.

+.SH debugger_command (default: empty)
+The external command to execute when a Postfix daemon program is
+invoked with the \-D option.
+.PP
+Use "command .. & sleep 5" so that the debugger can attach before
+the process marches on. If you use an X\-based debugger, be sure to
+set up your XAUTHORITY environment variable before starting Postfix.
+.PP
+Note: the command is subject to $name expansion, before it is

+.SH default_database_type (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The default database type for use in \fBnewaliases\fR(1), \fBpostalias\fR(1)
+and \fBpostmap\fR(1) commands. On many UNIX systems the default type is
+either \fBdbm\fR or \fBhash\fR. The default setting is frozen

+.ft R
+.SH default_delivery_slot_cost (default: 5)
+How often the Postfix queue manager's scheduler is allowed to
+preempt delivery of one message with another.
+.PP
+Each transport maintains a so\-called "available delivery slot counter"
+for each message. One message can be preempted by another one when
+the other message can be delivered using no more delivery slots
+(i.e., invocations of delivery agents) than the current message
+counter has accumulated (or will eventually accumulate \- see about
+slot loans below). This parameter controls how often is the counter
+incremented \- it happens after each default_delivery_slot_cost
+recipients have been delivered.
+.PP
+The cost of 0 is used to disable the preempting scheduling completely.
+The minimum value the scheduling algorithm can use is 2 \- use it
+if you want to maximize the message throughput rate. Although there
+is no maximum, it doesn't make much sense to use values above say
+50.
+.PP
+The only reason why the value of 2 is not the default is the way
+this parameter affects the delivery of mailing\-list mail. In the
+worst case, delivery can take somewhere between (cost+1/cost)
+and (cost/cost\-1) times more than if the preemptive scheduler was
+disabled. The default value of 5 turns out to provide reasonable
+message response times while making sure the mailing\-list deliveries
+are not extended by more than 20\-25 percent even in the worst case.
+.PP
+Use \fItransport\fR_delivery_slot_cost to specify a
+transport\-specific override, where \fItransport\fR is the master.cf
+name of the message delivery transport.

+.SH default_delivery_slot_discount (default: 50)
+The default value for transport\-specific _delivery_slot_discount
+settings.
+.PP
+This parameter speeds up the moment when a message preemption can
+happen. Instead of waiting until the full amount of delivery slots
+required is available, the preemption can happen when
+transport_delivery_slot_discount percent of the required amount
+plus transport_delivery_slot_loan still remains to be accumulated.
+Note that the full amount will still have to be accumulated before
+another preemption can take place later.
+.PP
+Use \fItransport\fR_delivery_slot_discount to specify a
+transport\-specific override, where \fItransport\fR is the master.cf
+name of the message delivery transport.
+.SH default_delivery_slot_loan (default: 3)
+The default value for transport\-specific _delivery_slot_loan

+name of the message delivery transport.
+.SH default_delivery_status_filter (default: empty)
+Optional filter to replace the delivery status code or explanatory
+text of successful or unsuccessful deliveries.  This does not allow
+the replacement of a successful status code (2.X.X) with an
+unsuccessful status code (4.X.X or 5.X.X) or vice versa.
+.PP
+Note: the (smtp|lmtp)_delivery_status_filter is applied only
+once per recipient: when delivery is successful, when delivery is
+rejected with 5XX, or when there are no more alternate MX or A
+destinations. Use smtp_reply_filter or lmtp_reply_filter to inspect
+responses for all delivery attempts.
+.PP
+The following parameters can be used to implement a filter for
+specific delivery agents: lmtp_delivery_status_filter,
+local_delivery_status_filter, pipe_delivery_status_filter,
+smtp_delivery_status_filter or virtual_delivery_status_filter. These
+parameters support the same filter syntax as described here.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:table" lookup table names, separated
+by comma or whitespace. For each successful or unsuccessful delivery
+to a recipient, the tables are queried in the specified order with
+one line of text that is structured as follows:
+.sp
+.in +4
+enhanced\-status\-code SPACE explanatory\-text
+.in -4
+.PP
+The first table match wins. The lookup result must have the
+same structure as the query, a successful status code (2.X.X) must
+be replaced with a successful status code, an unsuccessful status
+code (4.X.X or 5.X.X) must be replaced with an unsuccessful status
+code, and the explanatory text field must be non\-empty. Other results
+will result in a warning.

+This is a debugging aid.  To inspect the envelope information and
+content of a Postfix queue file, use the \fBpostcat\fR(1) command.
+.SH double_bounce_sender (default: double\-bounce)
+The sender address of postmaster notifications that are generated
+by the mail system. All mail to this address is silently discarded,
+in order to terminate mail bounce loops.
+.SH duplicate_filter_limit (default: 1000)
+The maximal number of addresses remembered by the address
+duplicate filter for \fBaliases\fR(5) or \fBvirtual\fR(5) alias expansion, or
+for \fBshowq\fR(8) queue displays.
+.SH empty_address_default_transport_maps_lookup_key (default: <>)
+The sender_dependent_default_transport_maps search string that
+will be used instead of the null sender address.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
+.SH empty_address_recipient (default: MAILER\-DAEMON)
+The recipient of mail addressed to the null address.  Postfix does
+not accept such addresses in SMTP commands, but they may still be
+created locally as the result of configuration or software error.
+.SH empty_address_relayhost_maps_lookup_key (default: <>)
+The sender_dependent_relayhost_maps search string that will be
+used instead of the null sender address.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later. With
+earlier versions, sender_dependent_relayhost_maps lookups were
+skipped for the null sender address.
+.SH enable_errors_to (default: no)
+Report mail delivery errors to the address specified with the
+non\-standard Errors\-To: message header, instead of the envelope
+sender address (this feature is removed with Postfix version 2.2, is
+turned off by default with Postfix version 2.1, and is always turned on
+with older Postfix versions).
+.SH enable_idna2003_compatibility (default: no)
+Enable 'transitional' compatibility between IDNA2003 and IDNA2008,
+when converting UTF\-8 domain names to/from the ASCII form that is
+used for DNS lookups. Specify "yes" for compatibility with Postfix
+<= 3.1 (not recommended). This affects the conversion of domain
+names that contain for example the German sz and the Greek zeta.
+See http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/idna.jsp for more examples.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.2 and later.
+.SH enable_long_queue_ids (default: no)
+Enable long, non\-repeating, queue IDs (queue file names).  The
+benefit of non\-repeating names is simpler logfile analysis and
+easier queue migration (there is no need to run "postsuper" to
+change queue file names that don't match their message file inode
+number).
+.PP
+Note: see below for how to convert long queue file names to
+Postfix <= 2.8.
+.PP
+Changing the parameter value to "yes" has the following effects:
+.IP \(bu
+Existing queue file names are not affected.
+.IP \(bu
+New queue files are created with names such as 3Pt2mN2VXxznjll.
+These are encoded in a 52\-character alphabet that contains digits
+(0\-9), upper\-case letters (B\-Z) and lower\-case letters (b\-z). For
+safety reasons the vowels (AEIOUaeiou) are excluded from the alphabet.
+The name format is: 6 or more characters for the time in seconds,
+4 characters for the time in microseconds, the 'z'; the remainder
+is the file inode number encoded in the first 51 characters of the
+52\-character alphabet.
+.IP \(bu
+New messages have a Message\-ID header with
+\fIqueueID\fR@\fImyhostname\fR.
+.IP \(bu
+The mailq (postqueue \-p) output has a wider Queue ID column.
+The number of whitespace\-separated fields is not changed.
+.IP \(bu
+The hash_queue_depth algorithm uses the first characters
+of the queue file creation time in microseconds, after conversion
+into hexadecimal representation. This produces the same queue hashing
+behavior as if the queue file name was created with "enable_long_queue_ids
+= no".
+.br
+.PP
+Changing the parameter value to "no" has the following effects:
+.IP \(bu
+Existing long queue file names are renamed to the short
+form (while running "postfix reload" or "postsuper").
+.IP \(bu
+New queue files are created with names such as C3CD21F3E90
+from a hexadecimal alphabet that contains digits (0\-9) and upper\-case
+letters (A\-F). The name format is: 5 characters for the time in
+microseconds; the remainder is the file inode number.
+.IP \(bu
+New messages have a Message\-ID header with
+\fIYYYYMMDDHHMMSS.queueid\fR@\fImyhostname\fR, where
+\fIYYYYMMDDHHMMSS\fR are the year, month, day, hour, minute and
+second.
+.IP \(bu
+The mailq (postqueue \-p) output has the same format as

+The hash_queue_depth algorithm uses the first characters
+of the queue file name, with the hexadecimal representation of the
+file creation time in microseconds.

+.SH enable_original_recipient (default: yes)
+Enable support for the original recipient address after an
+address is rewritten to a different address (for example with
+aliasing or with canonical mapping).
+.PP
+The original recipient address is used as follows:
+.IP "Final delivery"
+With "enable_original_recipient =
+yes", the original recipient address is stored in the \fBX\-Original\-To\fR
+message header. This header may be used to distinguish between
+different recipients that share the same mailbox.
+.br
+.IP "Recipient deduplication"
+With "enable_original_recipient
+= yes", the \fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon performs duplicate recipient elimination
+based on the content of (original recipient, maybe\-rewritten
+recipient) pairs.  Otherwise, the \fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon performs duplicate
+recipient elimination based only on the maybe\-rewritten recipient
+address.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix <= 3.2 the "setting enable_original_recipient
+= \fBno\fR" breaks address verification for addresses that are
+aliased or otherwise rewritten (Postfix is unable to store the
+address verification result under the original probe destination
+address; instead, it can store the result only under the rewritten
+address).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later. Postfix
+version 2.0 behaves as if this parameter is always set to \fByes\fR.
+Postfix versions before 2.0 have no support for the original recipient
+address.
+.SH error_notice_recipient (default: postmaster)
+The recipient of postmaster notifications about mail delivery
+problems that are caused by policy, resource, software or protocol
+errors.  These notifications are enabled with the notify_classes
+parameter.
+.SH error_service_name (default: error)
+The name of the \fBerror\fR(8) pseudo delivery agent. This service always
+returns mail as undeliverable.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH execution_directory_expansion_filter (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+Restrict the characters that the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent allows
+in $name expansions of $command_execution_directory.  Characters
+outside the allowed set are replaced by underscores.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH expand_owner_alias (default: no)
+When delivering to an alias "\fIaliasname\fR" that has an
+"owner\-\fIaliasname\fR" companion alias, set the envelope sender
+address to the expansion of the "owner\-\fIaliasname\fR" alias.
+Normally, Postfix sets the envelope sender address to the name of
+the "owner\-\fIaliasname\fR" alias.
+.SH export_environment (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The list of environment variables that a Postfix process will export
+to non\-Postfix processes. The TZ variable is needed for sane
+time keeping on System\-V\-ish systems.
+.PP
+Specify a list of names and/or name=value pairs, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Specify "{ name=value }" to protect whitespace
+or comma in parameter values (whitespace after the opening "{" and
+before the closing "}"
+is ignored). The form name=value is supported with Postfix version

+The maximal number of recipient addresses that Postfix will extract
+from message headers when mail is submitted with "\fBsendmail \-t\fR".
+.PP
+This feature was removed in Postfix version 2.1.
+.SH fallback_relay (default: empty)
+Optional list of relay hosts for SMTP destinations that can't be
+found or that are unreachable. With Postfix 2.3 this parameter
+is renamed to smtp_fallback_relay.
+.PP
+By default, mail is returned to the sender when a destination is
+not found, and delivery is deferred when a destination is unreachable.
+.PP
+The fallback relays must be SMTP destinations. Specify a domain,
+host, host:port, [host]:port, [address] or [address]:port; the form
+[host] turns off MX lookups.  If you specify multiple SMTP
+destinations, Postfix will try them in the specified order.
+.PP
+Note: before Postfix 2.2, do not use the fallback_relay feature
+when relaying mail
+for a backup or primary MX domain. Mail would loop between the
+Postfix MX host and the fallback_relay host when the final destination

+.br
+.PP
+Postfix version 2.2 and later will not use the fallback_relay feature
+for destinations that it is MX host for.

+transports for recipients that the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent could
+not find in the \fBaliases\fR(5) or UNIX password database.
+.PP
+The precedence of \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery features from high to low

+.SH fast_flush_domains (default: $relay_domains)
+Optional list of destinations that are eligible for per\-destination
+logfiles with mail that is queued to those destinations.
+.PP
+By default, Postfix maintains "fast flush" logfiles only for
+destinations that the Postfix SMTP server is willing to relay to
+(i.e. the default is: "fast_flush_domains = $relay_domains"; see
+the relay_domains parameter in the \fBpostconf\fR(5) manual).
+.PP
+Specify a list of hosts or domains, "/file/name" patterns or
+"type:table" lookup tables, separated by commas and/or whitespace.
+Continue long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. A
+"/file/name" pattern is replaced by its contents; a "type:table"
+lookup table is matched when the domain or its parent domain appears
+as lookup key.
+.PP
+Pattern matching of domain names is controlled by the presence
+or absence of "fast_flush_domains" in the parent_domain_matches_subdomains
+parameter value.
+.PP
+Specify "fast_flush_domains =" (i.e., empty) to disable the feature
+altogether.
+.SH fast_flush_purge_time (default: 7d)
+The time after which an empty per\-destination "fast flush" logfile
+is deleted.
+.PP
+You can specify the time as a number, or as a number followed by
+a letter that indicates the time unit: s=seconds, m=minutes, h=hours,
+d=days, w=weeks.  The default time unit is days.
+.SH fast_flush_refresh_time (default: 12h)
+The time after which a non\-empty but unread per\-destination "fast
+flush" logfile needs to be refreshed.  The contents of a logfile
+are refreshed by requesting delivery of all messages listed in the
+logfile.
+.PP
+You can specify the time as a number, or as a number followed by
+a letter that indicates the time unit: s=seconds, m=minutes, h=hours,

+.SH fault_injection_code (default: 0)
+Force specific internal tests to fail, to test the handling of
+errors that are difficult to reproduce otherwise.
+.SH flush_service_name (default: flush)
+The name of the \fBflush\fR(8) service. This service maintains per\-destination
+logfiles with the queue file names of mail that is queued for those
+destinations.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH fork_attempts (default: 5)
+The maximal number of attempts to fork() a child process.
+.SH fork_delay (default: 1s)
+The delay between attempts to fork() a child process.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w
+(weeks).  The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH forward_expansion_filter (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+Restrict the characters that the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent allows in
+$name expansions of $forward_path.  Characters outside the
+allowed set are replaced by underscores.
+.SH forward_path (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent search list for finding a .forward
+file with user\-specified delivery methods. The first file that is
+found is used.
+.PP
+The forward_path value is not subject to Postfix configuration
+parameter $name expansion. Instead, the following $name expansions
+are done on forward_path before the search actually happens.
+The result of $name expansion is
+filtered with the character set that is specified with the
+forward_expansion_filter parameter.
+.IP "\fB$user\fR"
+The recipient's username.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$shell\fR"
+The recipient's login shell pathname.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$home\fR"
+The recipient's home directory.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient\fR"
+The full recipient address.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$extension\fR"
+The optional recipient address extension.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$domain\fR"
+The recipient domain.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$local\fR"
+The entire recipient localpart.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient_delimiter\fR"
+The address extension delimiter that was found in the recipient
+address (Postfix 2.11 and later), or the system\-wide recipient
+address extension delimiter (Postfix 2.10 and earlier).
+.br
+.IP "\fB${name?value}\fR"
+Expands to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR is non\-empty.

+.SH frozen_delivered_to (default: yes)
+Update the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent's idea of the Delivered\-To:
+address (see prepend_delivered_header) only once, at the start of
+a delivery attempt; do not update the Delivered\-To: address while
+expanding aliases or .forward files.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later. With older
+Postfix releases, the behavior is as if this parameter is set to
+"no". The old setting can be expensive with deeply nested aliases
+or .forward files. When an alias or .forward file changes the
+Delivered\-To: address, it ties up one queue file and one cleanup
+process instance while mail is being forwarded.
+.SH hash_queue_depth (default: 1)
+The number of subdirectory levels for queue directories listed with
+the hash_queue_names parameter. Queue hashing is implemented by
+creating one or more levels of directories with one\-character names.
+Originally, these directory names were equal to the first characters
+of the queue file name, with the hexadecimal representation of the
+file creation time in microseconds.
+.PP
+With long queue file names, queue hashing produces the same
+results as with short names. The file creation time in microseconds
+is converted into hexadecimal form before the result is used for
+queue hashing.  The base 16 encoding gives finer control over the
+number of subdirectories than is possible with the base 52 encoding
+of long queue file names.
+.PP
+After changing the hash_queue_names or hash_queue_depth parameter,
+execute the command "\fBpostfix reload\fR".
+.SH hash_queue_names (default: deferred, defer)
+The names of queue directories that are split across multiple
+subdirectory levels.
+.PP
+Before Postfix version 2.2, the default list of hashed queues
+was significantly larger. Claims about improvements in file system
+technology suggest that hashing of the incoming and active queues
+is no longer needed. Fewer hashed directories speed up the time
+needed to restart Postfix.
+.PP
+After changing the hash_queue_names or hash_queue_depth parameter,
+execute the command "\fBpostfix reload\fR".
+.SH header_address_token_limit (default: 10240)
+The maximal number of address tokens are allowed in an address
+message header. Information that exceeds the limit is discarded.
+The limit is enforced by the \fBcleanup\fR(8) server.
+.SH header_checks (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables for content inspection of primary non\-MIME
+message headers, as specified in the \fBheader_checks\fR(5) manual page.
+.SH header_from_format (default: standard)
+The format of the Postfix\-generated \fBFrom:\fR header. This
+setting affects the appearance of 'full name' information when a
+local program such as /bin/mail submits a message without From:
+header through the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command.
+.PP
+Specify one of the following:
+.IP "\fBstandard\fR (default)"
+Produce a header formatted
+as "\fBFrom:\fR \fIname\fR\fB <\fR\fIaddress\fR\fB>\fR".
+This is the default as of Postfix 3.3.
+.br
+.IP "\fBobsolete\fR"
+Produce a header formatted as "\fBFrom:\fR
+\fIaddress\fR \fB(\fR\fIname\fR\fB)\fR". This is the behavior
+prior to Postfix 3.3.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Notes:
+.IP \(bu
+Postfix generates the format "\fBFrom:\fR \fIaddress\fR"
+when \fIname\fR information is unavailable or the envelope sender
+address is empty. This is the same behavior as prior to Postfix
+3.3.

+In the \fBstandard\fR form, the \fIname\fR will be quoted
+if it contains \fBspecials\fR as defined in RFC 5322, or the "!%"
+address operators.

+The Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command gets \fIname\fR information
+from the \fB\-F\fR command\-line option, from the \fBNAME\fR
+environment variable, or from the UNIX password file.
+.br
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.3 and later.
+.SH header_size_limit (default: 102400)
+The maximal amount of memory in bytes for storing a message header.
+If a header is larger, the excess is discarded.  The limit is
+enforced by the \fBcleanup\fR(8) server.
+.SH helpful_warnings (default: yes)
+Log warnings about problematic configuration settings, and provide
+helpful suggestions.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH home_mailbox (default: empty)
+Optional pathname of a mailbox file relative to a \fBlocal\fR(8) user's
+home directory.
+.PP
+Specify a pathname ending in "/" for qmail\-style delivery.
+.PP
+The precedence of \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery features from high to low
+is: aliases, .forward files, mailbox_transport_maps, mailbox_transport,
+mailbox_command_maps, mailbox_command, home_mailbox, mail_spool_directory,
+fallback_transport_maps, fallback_transport and luser_relay.

+.ft R
+.SH hopcount_limit (default: 50)
+The maximal number of Received:  message headers that is allowed
+in the primary message headers. A message that exceeds the limit
+is bounced, in order to stop a mailer loop.
+.SH html_directory (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The location of Postfix HTML files that describe how to build,
+configure or operate a specific Postfix subsystem or feature.
+.SH ignore_mx_lookup_error (default: no)
+Ignore DNS MX lookups that produce no response.  By default,
+the Postfix SMTP client defers delivery and tries again after some
+delay.  This behavior is required by the SMTP standard.
+.PP
+Specify "ignore_mx_lookup_error = yes" to force a DNS A record
+lookup instead. This violates the SMTP standard and can result in
+mis\-delivery of mail.
+.SH import_environment (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The list of environment parameters that a privileged Postfix
+process will import from a non\-Postfix parent process, or name=value
+environment overrides.  Unprivileged utilities will enforce the
+name=value overrides, but otherwise will not change their process
+environment.  Examples of relevant parameters:

+.IP "\fBMAIL_CONFIG\fR"
+Needed to make "\fBpostfix \-c\fR" work.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Specify a list of names and/or name=value pairs, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Specify "{ name=value }" to protect whitespace
+or comma in parameter values (whitespace after the opening "{" and
+before the closing "}"
+is ignored). The form name=value is supported with Postfix version
+2.1 and later; the use of {} is supported with Postfix 3.0 and
+later.
+.SH in_flow_delay (default: 1s)
+Time to pause before accepting a new message, when the message
+arrival rate exceeds the message delivery rate. This feature is
+turned on by default (it's disabled on SCO UNIX due to an SCO bug).
+.PP
+With the default 100 Postfix SMTP server process limit, "in_flow_delay
+= 1s" limits the mail inflow to 100 messages per second above the
+number of messages delivered per second.
+.PP
+Specify 0 to disable the feature. Valid delays are 0..10.
+.SH inet_interfaces (default: all)
+The network interface addresses that this mail system receives
+mail on. Specify "all" to receive mail on all network
+interfaces (default), and "loopback\-only" to receive mail
+on loopback network interfaces only (Postfix version 2.2 and later).  The
+parameter also controls delivery of mail to user@[ip.address].
+.PP
+Note 1: you need to stop and start Postfix when this parameter changes.
+.PP
+Note 2: address information may be enclosed inside [],
+but this form is not required here.
+.PP
+When inet_interfaces specifies just one IPv4 and/or IPv6 address
+that is not a loopback address, the Postfix SMTP client will use
+this address as the IP source address for outbound mail. Support
+for IPv6 is available in Postfix version 2.2 and later.
+.PP
+On a multi\-homed firewall with separate Postfix instances listening on the
+"inside" and "outside" interfaces, this can prevent each instance from
+being able to reach remote SMTP servers on the "other side" of the
+firewall. Setting
+smtp_bind_address to 0.0.0.0 avoids the potential problem for
+IPv4, and setting smtp_bind_address6 to :: solves the problem
+for IPv6.
+.PP
+A better solution for multi\-homed firewalls is to leave inet_interfaces
+at the default value and instead use explicit IP addresses in
+the master.cf SMTP server definitions.  This preserves the Postfix
+SMTP client's
+loop detection, by ensuring that each side of the firewall knows that the
+other IP address is still the same host. Setting $inet_interfaces to a
+single IPv4 and/or IPV6 address is primarily useful with virtual
+hosting of domains on
+secondary IP addresses, when each IP address serves a different domain
+(and has a different $myhostname setting).
+.PP
+See also the proxy_interfaces parameter, for network addresses that
+are forwarded to Postfix by way of a proxy or address translator.
+.PP
+Examples:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+inet_interfaces = all (DEFAULT)
+inet_interfaces = loopback\-only (Postfix version 2.2 and later)
+inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1

+inet_interfaces = 192.168.1.2, 127.0.0.1
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH inet_protocols (default: all)
+The Internet protocols Postfix will attempt to use when making
+or accepting connections. Specify one or more of "ipv4"
+or "ipv6", separated by whitespace or commas. The form
+"all" is equivalent to "ipv4, ipv6" or "ipv4", depending
+on whether the operating system implements IPv6.
+.PP
+With Postfix 2.8 and earlier the default is "ipv4". For backwards
+compatibility with these releases, the Postfix 2.9 and later upgrade
+procedure appends an explicit "inet_protocols = ipv4" setting to
+main.cf when no explicit setting is present. This compatibility
+workaround will be phased out as IPv6 deployment becomes more common.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.PP
+Note: you MUST stop and start Postfix after changing this
+parameter.
+.PP
+On systems that pre\-date IPV6_V6ONLY support (RFC 3493), an
+IPv6 server will also accept IPv4 connections, even when IPv4 is
+turned off with the inet_protocols parameter.  On systems with
+IPV6_V6ONLY support, Postfix will use separate server sockets for
+IPv6 and IPv4, and each will accept only connections for the
+corresponding protocol.
+.PP
+When IPv4 support is enabled via the inet_protocols parameter,
+Postfix will look up DNS type A records, and will convert
+IPv4\-in\-IPv6 client IP addresses (::ffff:1.2.3.4) to their original
+IPv4 form (1.2.3.4).  The latter is needed on hosts that pre\-date
+IPV6_V6ONLY support (RFC 3493).
+.PP
+When IPv6 support is enabled via the inet_protocols parameter,
+Postfix will do DNS type AAAA record lookups.
+.PP
+When both IPv4 and IPv6 support are enabled, the Postfix SMTP
+client will choose the protocol as specified with the
+smtp_address_preference parameter. Postfix versions before 2.8
+attempt to connect via IPv6 before attempting to use IPv4.

+.PP
+Setting this parameter to a value > 1 changes the meaning of

+into concurrency per domain.
+.SH local_header_rewrite_clients (default: permit_inet_interfaces)
+Rewrite message header addresses in mail from these clients and
+update incomplete addresses with the domain name in $myorigin or

+at all, or rewrite message headers and update incomplete addresses
+with the domain specified in the remote_header_rewrite_domain

+.br
+.IP "\fBpermit_mynetworks\fR"
+Append the domain name in $myorigin or $mydomain when the
+client IP address matches any network or network address listed in
+$mynetworks. This setting will not prevent remote mail header
+address rewriting when mail from a remote client is forwarded by
+a neighboring system.
+.br
+.IP "\fBpermit_sasl_authenticated \fR"
+Append the domain name in $myorigin or $mydomain when the
+client is successfully authenticated via the RFC 4954 (AUTH)
+protocol.
+.br
+.IP "\fBpermit_tls_clientcerts \fR"
+Append the domain name in $myorigin or $mydomain when the
+remote SMTP client TLS certificate fingerprint or public key fingerprint
+(Postfix 2.9 and later) is listed in $relay_clientcerts.
+The fingerprint digest algorithm is configurable via the
+smtpd_tls_fingerprint_digest parameter (hard\-coded as md5 prior to
+Postfix version 2.5).

+Lookup tables with all names or addresses of local recipients:
+a recipient address is local when its domain matches $mydestination,
+$inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces.  Specify @domain as a
+wild\-card for domains that do not have a valid recipient list.
+Technically, tables listed with $local_recipient_maps are used as
+lists: Postfix needs to know only if a lookup string is found or
+not, but it does not use the result from table lookup.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+If this parameter is non\-empty (the default), then the Postfix SMTP
+server will reject mail for unknown local users.
+.PP
+To turn off local recipient checking in the Postfix SMTP server,
+specify "local_recipient_maps =" (i.e. empty).
+.PP
+The default setting assumes that you use the default Postfix local
+delivery agent for local delivery. You need to update the
+local_recipient_maps setting if:
+.IP \(bu
+You redefine the local delivery agent in master.cf.
+.IP \(bu
+You redefine the "local_transport" setting in main.cf.
+.IP \(bu
+You use the "luser_relay", "mailbox_transport", or "fallback_transport"
+feature of the Postfix \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent.
+.br
+.PP
+Details are described in the LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README file.
+.PP
+Beware: if the Postfix SMTP server runs chrooted, you need to access
+the passwd file via the \fBproxymap\fR(8) service, in order to overcome
+chroot access restrictions. The alternative, maintaining a copy of
+the system password file in the chroot jail is not practical.

+.SH local_transport (default: local:$myhostname)
+The default mail delivery transport and next\-hop destination
+for final delivery to domains listed with mydestination, and for
+[ipaddress] destinations that match $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces.
+This information can be overruled with the \fBtransport\fR(5) table.
+.PP
+By default, local mail is delivered to the transport called "local",
+which is just the name of a service that is defined the master.cf file.
+.PP
+Specify a string of the form \fItransport:nexthop\fR, where \fItransport\fR
+is the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf.
+The \fI:nexthop\fR destination is optional; its syntax is documented
+in the manual page of the corresponding delivery agent.
+.PP
+Beware: if you override the default local delivery agent then you
+need to review the LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README document, otherwise the
+SMTP server may reject mail for local recipients.
+.SH luser_relay (default: empty)
+Optional catch\-all destination for unknown \fBlocal\fR(8) recipients.
+By default, mail for unknown recipients in domains that match
+$mydestination, $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces is returned
+as undeliverable.
+.PP
+The luser_relay value is not subject to Postfix configuration
+parameter $name expansion. Instead, the following $name expansions
+are done:
+.IP "\fB$domain\fR"
+The recipient domain.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$extension\fR"
+The recipient address extension.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$home\fR"

+.IP "\fB$local\fR"
+The entire recipient address localpart.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient\fR"
+The full recipient address.

+.IP "\fB$recipient_delimiter\fR"
+The address extension delimiter that was found in the recipient
+address (Postfix 2.11 and later), or the system\-wide recipient
+address extension delimiter (Postfix 2.10 and earlier).
+.br
+.IP "\fB$shell\fR"
+The recipient's login shell.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$user\fR"
+The recipient username.
+.br
+.IP "\fB${name?value}\fR"
+Expands to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR has a non\-empty value.
+.br
+.IP "\fB${name:value}\fR"
+Expands to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR has an empty value.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Instead of $name you can also specify ${name} or $(name).
+.PP
+Note: luser_relay works only for the Postfix \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent.
+.PP
+Note: if you use this feature for accounts not in the UNIX password
+file, then you must specify "local_recipient_maps =" (i.e. empty)
+in the main.cf file, otherwise the Postfix SMTP server will reject mail
+for non\-UNIX accounts with "User unknown in local recipient table".

+.SH mail_name (default: Postfix)
+The mail system name that is displayed in Received: headers, in
+the SMTP greeting banner, and in bounced mail.

+The UNIX system account that owns the Postfix queue and most Postfix
+daemon processes.  Specify the name of an unprivileged user account
+that does not share a user or group ID with other accounts, and that
+owns no other files
+or processes on the system.  In particular, don't specify nobody
+or daemon.  PLEASE USE A DEDICATED USER ID AND GROUP ID.

+.SH mail_release_date (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The Postfix release date, in "YYYYMMDD" format.
+.SH mail_spool_directory (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The directory where \fBlocal\fR(8) UNIX\-style mailboxes are kept. The
+default setting depends on the system type. Specify a name ending
+in / for maildir\-style delivery.
+.PP
+Note: maildir delivery is done with the privileges of the recipient.
+If you use the mail_spool_directory setting for maildir style
+delivery, then you must create the top\-level maildir directory in
+advance. Postfix will not create it.

+mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
+mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail

+.SH mail_version (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The version of the mail system. Stable releases are named
+\fImajor\fR.\fIminor\fR.\fIpatchlevel\fR. Experimental releases
+also include the release date. The version string can be used in,
+for example, the SMTP greeting banner.
+.SH mailbox_command (default: empty)
+Optional external command that the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent should
+use for mailbox delivery.  The command is run with the user ID and
+the primary group ID privileges of the recipient.  Exception:
+command delivery for root executes with $default_privs privileges.
+This is not a problem, because 1) mail for root should always be
+aliased to a real user and 2) don't log in as root, use "su" instead.

+.PP
+Unlike other Postfix configuration parameters, the mailbox_command
+parameter is not subjected to $name substitutions. This is to make
+it easier to specify shell syntax (see example below).
+.PP
+If you can, avoid shell meta characters because they will force
+Postfix to run an expensive shell process. If you're delivering
+via "procmail" then running a shell won't make a noticeable difference
+in the total cost.

+.PP
+This setting is ignored with \fBmaildir\fR style delivery,

+.SH mailbox_size_limit (default: 51200000)
+The maximal size of any \fBlocal\fR(8) individual mailbox or maildir
+file, or zero (no limit).  In fact, this limits the size of any
+file that is written to upon local delivery, including files written
+by external commands that are executed by the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery

+What addresses are subject to address masquerading.
+.PP
+By default, address masquerading is limited to envelope sender
+addresses, and to header sender and header recipient addresses.
+This allows you to use address masquerading on a mail gateway while
+still being able to forward mail to users on individual machines.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more of: envelope_sender, envelope_recipient,
+header_sender, header_recipient
+.SH masquerade_domains (default: empty)
+Optional list of domains whose subdomain structure will be stripped
+off in email addresses.
+.PP
+The list is processed left to right, and processing stops at the
+first match.  Thus,
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+masquerade_domains = foo.example.com example.com
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+strips "user@any.thing.foo.example.com" to "user@foo.example.com",
+but strips "user@any.thing.else.example.com" to "user@example.com".
+.PP
+A domain name prefixed with ! means do not masquerade this domain
+or its subdomains. Thus,
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+masquerade_domains = !foo.example.com example.com
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+does not change "user@any.thing.foo.example.com" or "user@foo.example.com",
+but strips "user@any.thing.else.example.com" to "user@example.com".
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix version 2.2, message header address masquerading
+happens only when message header address rewriting is enabled:
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received with the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from a network client that matches
+$local_header_rewrite_clients,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from the network, and the
+remote_header_rewrite_domain parameter specifies a non\-empty value.

+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+masquerade_domains = $mydomain
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH masquerade_exceptions (default: empty)
+Optional list of user names that are not subjected to address
+masquerading, even when their addresses match $masquerade_domains.
+.PP
+By default, address masquerading makes no exceptions.
+.PP
+Specify a list of user names, "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns,
+separated by commas and/or whitespace. The list is matched left to
+right, and the search stops on the first match. A "/file/name"
+pattern is replaced
+by its contents; a "type:table" lookup table is matched when a name
+matches a lookup key (the lookup result is ignored).  Continue long
+lines by starting the next line with whitespace. Specify "!pattern"
+to exclude a name from the list. The form "!/file/name" is supported
+only in Postfix version 2.4 and later.

+masquerade_exceptions = root, mailer\-daemon
+masquerade_exceptions = root
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH master_service_disable (default: empty)
+Selectively disable \fBmaster\fR(8) listener ports by service type

+("inet", "unix", "fifo", or "pass") or "name/type" tuples, where
+"name" is the first field of a master.cf entry and "type" is a
+service type. As with other Postfix matchlists, a search stops at
+the first match.  Specify "!pattern" to exclude a service from the
+list. By default, all \fBmaster\fR(8) listener ports are enabled.
+.PP
+Note: this feature does not support "/file/name" or "type:table"
+patterns, nor does it support wildcards such as "*" or "all". This
+is intentional.

+The amount of time between \fBpostscreen\fR(8) cache cleanup runs.
+Cache cleanup increases the load on the cache database and should
+therefore not be run frequently. This feature requires that the
+cache database supports the "delete" and "sequence" operators.
+Specify a zero interval to disable cache cleanup.
+.PP
+After each cache cleanup run, the \fBpostscreen\fR(8) daemon logs the

+.SH postscreen_cache_retention_time (default: 7d)
+The amount of time that \fBpostscreen\fR(8) will cache an expired
+temporary whitelist entry before it is removed. This prevents clients
+from being logged as "NEW" just because their cache entry expired
+an hour ago. It also prevents the cache from filling up with clients

+when it rejects mail.  When no mapping is found, the actual DNSBL
+domain will be used.
+.PP
+For maximal stability it is best to use a file that is read
+into memory such as pcre:, regexp: or texthash: (texthash: is similar

+How much time a \fBpostscreen\fR(8) process may take to respond to
+a remote SMTP client command or to perform a cache operation before it
+is terminated by a built\-in watchdog timer.  This is a safety
+mechanism that prevents \fBpostscreen\fR(8) from becoming non\-responsive

+.SH postscreen_whitelist_interfaces (default: static:all)
+A list of local \fBpostscreen\fR(8) server IP addresses where a
+non\-whitelisted remote SMTP client can obtain \fBpostscreen\fR(8)'s temporary
+whitelist status. This status is required before the client can
+talk to a Postfix SMTP server process.  By default, a client can
+obtain \fBpostscreen\fR(8)'s whitelist status on any local \fBpostscreen\fR(8)
+server IP address.
+.PP
+When \fBpostscreen\fR(8) listens on both primary and backup MX
+addresses, the postscreen_whitelist_interfaces parameter can be
+configured to give the temporary whitelist status only when a client
+connects to a primary MX address. Once a client is whitelisted it
+can talk to a Postfix SMTP server on any address. Thus, clients
+that connect only to backup MX addresses will never become whitelisted,
+and will never be allowed to talk to a Postfix SMTP server process.
+.PP
+Specify a list of network addresses or network/netmask patterns,
+separated by commas and/or whitespace. The netmask specifies the
+number of bits in the network part of a host address. Continue long
+lines by starting the next line with whitespace.
+.PP
+You can also specify "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns.  A
+"/file/name" pattern is replaced by its contents; a "type:table"
+lookup table is matched when a table entry matches a lookup string
+(the lookup result is ignored).
+.PP
+The list is matched left to right, and the search stops on the
+first match. Specify "!pattern" to exclude an address or network
+block from the list.
+.PP
+Note: IP version 6 address information must be specified inside
+[] in the postscreen_whitelist_interfaces value, and in files
+specified with "/file/name".  IP version 6 addresses contain the
+":" character, and would otherwise be confused with a "type:table"
+pattern.
+.PP
+Example:

+.SH prepend_delivered_header (default: command, file, forward)
+The message delivery contexts where the Postfix \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery
+agent prepends a Delivered\-To:  message header with the address
+that the mail was delivered to. This information is used for mail
+delivery loop detection.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix local delivery agent prepends a Delivered\-To:
+header when forwarding mail and when delivering to file (mailbox)
+and command. Turning off the Delivered\-To: header when forwarding
+mail is not recommended.

+The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process.
+.SH propagate_unmatched_extensions (default: canonical, virtual)
+What address lookup tables copy an address extension from the lookup
+key to the lookup result.
+.PP
+For example, with a \fBvirtual\fR(5) mapping of "\fIjoe@example.com =>
+joe.user@example.net\fR", the address "\fIjoe+foo@example.com\fR"
+would rewrite to "\fIjoe.user+foo@example.net\fR".
+.PP
+Specify zero or more of \fBcanonical\fR, \fBvirtual\fR, \fBalias\fR,
+\fBforward\fR, \fBinclude\fR or \fBgeneric\fR. These cause
+address extension
+propagation with \fBcanonical\fR(5), \fBvirtual\fR(5), and \fBaliases\fR(5) maps,
+with \fBlocal\fR(8) .forward and :include: file lookups, and with \fBsmtp\fR(8)
+generic maps, respectively.
+.PP
+Note: enabling this feature for types other than \fBcanonical\fR
+and \fBvirtual\fR is likely to cause problems when mail is forwarded
+to other sites, especially with mail that is sent to a mailing list
+exploder address.
+.PP

+.SH qmqpd_authorized_clients (default: empty)
+What remote QMQP clients are allowed to connect to the Postfix QMQP
+server port.
+.PP
+By default, no client is allowed to use the service. This is
+because the QMQP server will relay mail to any destination.
+.PP
+Specify a list of client patterns. A list pattern specifies a host
+name, a domain name, an internet address, or a network/mask pattern,
+where the mask specifies the number of bits in the network part.
+When a pattern specifies a file name, its contents are substituted
+for the file name; when a pattern is a "type:table" table specification,
+table lookup is used instead.
+.PP
+Patterns are separated by whitespace and/or commas. In order to
+reverse the result, precede a pattern with an

+recipients. See also the relay domains address class in the
+ADDRESS_CLASS_README file.

+key. Specify "!pattern" to exclude a domain from the list. The form
+"!/file/name" is supported only in Postfix version 2.4 and later.

+Optional lookup tables with all valid addresses in the domains
+that match $relay_domains. Specify @domain as a wild\-card for
+domains that have no valid recipient list, and become a source of
+backscatter mail: Postfix accepts spam for non\-existent recipients
+and then floods innocent people with undeliverable mail.  Technically,

+listed with $relay_recipient_maps are used as lists: Postfix needs
+to know only if a lookup string is found or not, but it does not
+use the result from table lookup.

+.SH require_home_directory (default: no)
+Require that a \fBlocal\fR(8) recipient's home directory exists
+before mail delivery is attempted. By default this test is disabled.
+It can be useful for environments that import home directories to
+the mail server (IMPORTING HOME DIRECTORIES IS NOT RECOMMENDED).
+.SH reset_owner_alias (default: no)
+Reset the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent's idea of the owner\-alias
+attribute, when delivering mail to a child alias that does not have
+its own owner alias.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.8 and later. With older
+Postfix releases, the behavior is as if this parameter is set to
+"yes".
+.PP
+As documented in \fBaliases\fR(5), when an alias \fIname\fR has a
+companion alias named owner\-\fIname\fR, this will replace the
+envelope sender address, so that delivery errors will be
+reported to the owner alias instead of the sender. This configuration
+is recommended for mailing lists.
+.PP
+A less known property of the owner alias is that it also forces
+the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent to write local and remote addresses
+from alias expansion to a new queue file, instead of attempting to
+deliver mail to local addresses as soon as they come out of alias
+expansion.
+.PP
+Writing local addresses from alias expansion to a new queue
+file allows for robust handling of temporary delivery errors: errors
+with one local member have no effect on deliveries to other members
+of the list.  On the other hand, delivery to local addresses as
+soon as they come out of alias expansion is fragile: a temporary
+error with one local address from alias expansion will cause the
+entire alias to be expanded repeatedly until the error goes away,
+or until the message expires in the queue.  In that case, a problem
+with one list member results in multiple message deliveries to other
+list members.
+.PP
+The default behavior of Postfix 2.8 and later is to keep the
+owner\-alias attribute of the parent alias, when delivering mail to
+a child alias that does not have its own owner alias. Then, local
+addresses from that child alias will be written to a new queue file,
+and a temporary error with one local address will not affect delivery
+to other mailing list members.
+.PP
+Unfortunately, older Postfix releases reset the owner\-alias
+attribute when delivering mail to a child alias that does not have
+its own owner alias. To be precise, this resets only the decision
+to create a new queue file, not the decision to override the envelope
+sender address. The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent then attempts to
+deliver local addresses as soon as they come out of child alias
+expansion.  If delivery to any address from child alias expansion
+fails with a temporary error condition, the entire mailing list may
+be expanded repeatedly until the mail expires in the queue, resulting
+in multiple deliveries of the same message to mailing list members.
+.SH resolve_dequoted_address (default: yes)
+Resolve a recipient address safely instead of correctly, by
+looking inside quotes.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix address resolver does not quote the
+address localpart as per RFC 822, so that additional @ or % or !
+operators remain visible. This behavior is safe but it is also
+technically incorrect.
+.PP
+If you specify "resolve_dequoted_address = no", then
+the Postfix
+resolver will not know about additional @ etc. operators in the
+address localpart. This opens opportunities for obscure mail relay
+attacks with user@domain@domain addresses when Postfix provides
+backup MX service for Sendmail systems.
+.SH resolve_null_domain (default: no)
+Resolve an address that ends in the "@" null domain as if the
+local hostname were specified, instead of rejecting the address as
+invalid.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+Earlier versions always resolve the null domain as the local
+hostname.
+.PP
+The Postfix SMTP server uses this feature to reject mail from
+or to addresses that end in the "@" null domain, and from addresses
+that rewrite into a form that ends in the "@" null domain.
+.SH resolve_numeric_domain (default: no)
+Resolve "user@ipaddress" as "user@[ipaddress]", instead of
+rejecting the address as invalid.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH rewrite_service_name (default: rewrite)
+The name of the address rewriting service. This service rewrites
+addresses to standard form and resolves them to a (delivery method,
+next\-hop host, recipient) triple.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH sample_directory (default: /etc/postfix)
+The name of the directory with example Postfix configuration files.
+Starting with Postfix 2.1, these files have been replaced with the
+\fBpostconf\fR(5) manual page.
+.SH send_cyrus_sasl_authzid (default: no)
+When authenticating to a remote SMTP or LMTP server with the
+default setting "no", send no SASL authoriZation ID (authzid); send
+only the SASL authentiCation ID (authcid) plus the authcid's password.
+.PP
+The non\-default setting "yes" enables the behavior of older
+Postfix versions.  These always send a SASL authzid that is equal
+to the SASL authcid, but this causes interoperability problems
+with some SMTP servers.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.4.4 and later.
+.SH sender_based_routing (default: no)
+This parameter should not be used. It was replaced by sender_dependent_relayhost_maps
+in Postfix version 2.3.
+.SH sender_bcc_maps (default: empty)
+Optional BCC (blind carbon\-copy) address lookup tables, indexed
+by sender address.  The BCC address (multiple results are not
+supported) is added when mail enters from outside of Postfix.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by

+When a remote destination resolves to a combination of IPv4 and
+IPv6 addresses, ensure that the Postfix SMTP client can try both
+address types before it runs into the smtp_mx_address_limit.
+.PP
+This avoids an interoperability problem when a destination resolves

+When the remote SMTP servername is a DNS CNAME, replace the
+servername with the result from CNAME expansion for the purpose of
+logging, SASL password lookup, TLS
+policy decisions, or TLS certificate verification. The value "no"
+hardens Postfix smtp_tls_per_site hostname\-based policies against

+password file lookups more predictable. This is the default setting
+as of Postfix 2.3.

+.SH smtp_connect_timeout (default: 30s)
+The Postfix SMTP client time limit for completing a TCP connection, or
+zero (use the operating system built\-in time limit).
+.PP
+When no connection can be made within the deadline, the Postfix
+SMTP client
+tries the next address on the mail exchanger list. Specify 0 to

+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtp_connection_cache_destinations (default: empty)
+Permanently enable SMTP connection caching for the specified
+destinations.  With SMTP connection caching, a connection is not
+closed immediately after completion of a mail transaction.  Instead,
+the connection is kept open for up to $smtp_connection_cache_time_limit
+seconds.  This allows connections to be reused for other deliveries,

+.SH smtp_connection_cache_on_demand (default: yes)
+Temporarily enable SMTP connection caching while a destination
+has a high volume of mail in the active queue.  With SMTP connection
+caching, a connection is not closed immediately after completion
+of a mail transaction.  Instead, the connection is kept open for
+up to $smtp_connection_cache_time_limit seconds.  This allows
+connections to be reused for other deliveries, and can improve mail
+delivery performance.

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_connection_cache_time_limit (default: 2s)
+When SMTP connection caching is enabled, the amount of time that
+an unused SMTP client socket is kept open before it is closed.  Do
+not specify larger values without permission from the remote sites.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_connection_reuse_count_limit (default: 0)
+When SMTP connection caching is enabled, the number of times
+that an SMTP session may be reused before it is closed, or zero (no
+limit).  With a reuse count limit of N, a connection is used up to
+N+1 times.
+.PP
+NOTE: This feature is unsafe. When a high\-volume destination
+has multiple inbound MTAs, then the slowest inbound MTA will attract
+the most connections to that destination.  This limitation does not
+exist with the smtp_connection_reuse_time_limit feature.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11.
+.SH smtp_connection_reuse_time_limit (default: 300s)
+The amount of time during which Postfix will use an SMTP
+connection repeatedly.  The timer starts when the connection is
+initiated (i.e. it includes the connect, greeting and helo latency,
+in addition to the latencies of subsequent mail delivery transactions).
+.PP
+This feature addresses a performance stability problem with
+remote SMTP servers. This problem is not specific to Postfix: it
+can happen when any MTA sends large amounts of SMTP email to a site
+that has multiple MX hosts.
+.PP
+The problem starts when one of a set of MX hosts becomes slower
+than the rest.  Even though SMTP clients connect to fast and slow
+MX hosts with equal probability, the slow MX host ends up with more
+simultaneous inbound connections than the faster MX hosts, because
+the slow MX host needs more time to serve each client request.
+.PP
+The slow MX host becomes a connection attractor.  If one MX
+host becomes N times slower than the rest, it dominates mail delivery
+latency unless there are more than N fast MX hosts to counter the
+effect. And if the number of MX hosts is smaller than N, the mail
+delivery latency becomes effectively that of the slowest MX host
+divided by the total number of MX hosts.
+.PP
+The solution uses connection caching in a way that differs from
+Postfix version 2.2.  By limiting the amount of time during which a connection
+can be used repeatedly (instead of limiting the number of deliveries
+over that connection), Postfix not only restores fairness in the
+distribution of simultaneous connections across a set of MX hosts,
+it also favors deliveries over connections that perform well, which
+is exactly what we want.
+.PP
+The default reuse time limit, 300s, is comparable to the various
+smtp transaction timeouts which are fair estimates of maximum excess
+latency for a slow delivery.  Note that hosts may accept thousands
+of messages over a single connection within the default connection
+reuse time limit. This number is much larger than the default Postfix
+version 2.2 limit of 10 messages per cached connection. It may prove necessary
+to lower the limit to avoid interoperability issues with MTAs that
+exhibit bugs when many messages are delivered via a single connection.
+A lower reuse time limit risks losing the benefit of connection
+reuse when the average connection and mail delivery latency exceeds
+the reuse time limit.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_data_done_timeout (default: 600s)
+The Postfix SMTP client time limit for sending the SMTP ".", and
+for receiving the remote SMTP server response.
+.PP
+When no response is received within the deadline, a warning is
+logged that the mail may be delivered multiple times.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).

+seconds the Postfix SMTP client terminates the transfer.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtp_defer_if_no_mx_address_found (default: no)
+Defer mail delivery when no MX record resolves to an IP address.
+.PP
+The default (no) is to return the mail as undeliverable. With older
+Postfix versions the default was to keep trying to deliver the mail
+until someone fixed the MX record or until the mail was too old.
+.PP
+Note: the Postfix SMTP client always ignores MX records with equal
+or worse preference
+than the local MTA itself.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH smtp_delivery_status_filter (default: $default_delivery_status_filter)
+Optional filter for the \fBsmtp\fR(8) delivery agent to change the
+delivery status code or explanatory text of successful or unsuccessful
+deliveries.  See default_delivery_status_filter for details.
+.PP
+NOTE: This feature modifies Postfix SMTP client error or non\-error
+messages that may or may not be derived from remote SMTP server
+responses.  In contrast, the smtp_reply_filter feature modifies
+remote SMTP server responses only.
+.SH smtp_destination_concurrency_limit (default: $default_destination_concurrency_limit)
+The maximal number of parallel deliveries to the same destination
+via the smtp message delivery transport. This limit is enforced by

+field in the entry in the master.cf file.
+.SH smtp_destination_recipient_limit (default: $default_destination_recipient_limit)

+"disable_dns_lookups" parameter controls whether DNS is enabled in
+the Postfix SMTP client, otherwise the legacy parameter is ignored.
+.PP
+Specify one of the following:
+.IP "\fBdisabled\fR"
+Disable DNS lookups.  No MX lookups are performed and hostname
+to address lookups are unconditionally "native".  This setting is
+not appropriate for hosts that deliver mail to the public Internet.
+Some obsolete how\-to documents recommend disabling DNS lookups in
+some configurations with content_filters.  This is no longer required
+and strongly discouraged.
+.br
+.IP "\fBenabled\fR"
+Enable DNS lookups.  Nexthop destination domains not enclosed
+in "[]" will be subject to MX lookups.  If "dns" and "native" are
+included in the "smtp_host_lookup" parameter value, DNS will be
+queried first to resolve MX\-host A records, followed by "native"
+lookups if no answer is found in DNS.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdnssec\fR"
+Enable DNSSEC
+lookups.  The "dnssec" setting differs from the "enabled" setting
+above in the following ways:
+.IP \(bu
+Any MX lookups will set
+RES_USE_DNSSEC and RES_USE_EDNS0 to request DNSSEC\-validated
+responses. If the MX response is DNSSEC\-validated the corresponding
+hostnames are considered validated.
+.IP \(bu
+The address lookups of
+validated hostnames are also validated, (provided of course
+"smtp_host_lookup" includes "dns", see below).
+.IP \(bu
+Temporary
+failures in DNSSEC\-enabled hostname\-to\-address resolution block any
+"native" lookups.  Additional "native" lookups only happen when
+DNSSEC lookups hard\-fail (NODATA or NXDOMAIN).
+.br
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+The Postfix SMTP client considers non\-MX "[nexthop]" and
+"[nexthop]:port" destinations equivalent to statically\-validated
+MX records of the form "nexthop.  IN MX 0 nexthop."  Therefore,
+with "dnssec" support turned on, validated hostname\-to\-address
+lookups apply to the nexthop domain of any "[nexthop]" or
+"[nexthop]:port" destination.  This is also true for LMTP "inet:host"
+and "inet:host:port" destinations, as LMTP hostnames are never
+subject to MX lookups.
+.PP
+The "dnssec" setting is recommended only if you plan to use the
+dane or dane\-only TLS security
+level, otherwise enabling DNSSEC support in Postfix offers no
+additional security.  Postfix DNSSEC support relies on an upstream
+recursive nameserver that validates DNSSEC signatures.  Such a DNS
+server will always filter out forged DNS responses, even when Postfix
+itself is not configured to use DNSSEC.
+.PP
+When using Postfix DANE support the "smtp_host_lookup" parameter
+should include "dns", as DANE is not applicable
+to hosts resolved via "native" lookups.
+.PP
+As mentioned above, Postfix is not a validating stub
+resolver; it relies on the system's configured DNSSEC\-validating
+recursive
+nameserver to perform all DNSSEC validation.  Since this
+nameserver's DNSSEC\-validated responses will be fully trusted, it
+is strongly recommended that the MTA host have a local DNSSEC\-validating
+recursive caching nameserver listening on a loopback address, and
+be configured to use only this nameserver for all lookups.  Otherwise,
+Postfix may remain subject to man\-in\-the\-middle attacks that forge
+responses from the recursive nameserver
+.PP
+DNSSEC support requires a version of Postfix compiled against a
+reasonably\-modern DNS \fBresolver\fR(3) library that implements the
+RES_USE_DNSSEC and RES_USE_EDNS0 resolver options.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.SH smtp_enforce_tls (default: no)
+Enforcement mode: require that remote SMTP servers use TLS
+encryption, and never send mail in the clear.  This also requires
+that the remote SMTP server hostname matches the information in
+the remote server certificate, and that the remote SMTP server
+certificate was issued by a CA that is trusted by the Postfix SMTP
+client. If the certificate doesn't verify or the hostname doesn't
+match, delivery is deferred and mail stays in the queue.
+.PP
+The server hostname is matched against all names provided as
+dNSNames in the SubjectAlternativeName.  If no dNSNames are specified,
+the CommonName is checked.  The behavior may be changed with the
+smtp_tls_enforce_peername option.
+.PP
+This option is useful only if you are definitely sure that you
+will only connect to servers that support RFC 2487 _and_ that
+provide valid server certificates.  Typical use is for clients that
+send all their email to a dedicated mailhub.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later. With
+Postfix 2.3 and later use smtp_tls_security_level instead.
+.SH smtp_fallback_relay (default: $fallback_relay)
+Optional list of relay hosts for SMTP destinations that can't be
+found or that are unreachable. With Postfix 2.2 and earlier this
+parameter is called fallback_relay.
+.PP
+By default, mail is returned to the sender when a destination is
+not found, and delivery is deferred when a destination is unreachable.
+.PP
+With bulk email deliveries, it can be beneficial to run the
+fallback relay MTA on the same host, so that it can reuse the sender
+IP address.  This speeds up deliveries that are delayed by IP\-based
+reputation systems (greylist, etc.).
+.PP
+The fallback relays must be SMTP destinations. Specify a domain,
+host, host:port, [host]:port, [address] or [address]:port; the form
+[host] turns off MX lookups.  If you specify multiple SMTP
+destinations, Postfix will try them in the specified order.
+.PP
+To prevent mailer loops between MX hosts and fall\-back hosts,
+Postfix version 2.2 and later will not use the fallback relays for
+destinations that it is MX host for (assuming DNS lookup is turned on).
+.SH smtp_generic_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables that perform address rewriting in the
+Postfix SMTP client, typically to transform a locally valid address into
+a globally valid address when sending mail across the Internet.
+This is needed when the local machine does not have its own Internet
+domain name, but uses something like \fIlocaldomain.local\fR
+instead.
+.PP

+What mechanisms the Postfix SMTP client uses to look up a host's
+IP address.  This parameter is ignored when DNS lookups are disabled
+(see: disable_dns_lookups and smtp_dns_support_level).  The "dns"

+Use the native service for hosts not found in the DNS.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH smtp_line_length_limit (default: 998)
+The maximal length of message header and body lines that Postfix
+will send via SMTP. This limit does not include the <CR><LF>
+at the end of each line.  Longer lines are broken by inserting
+"<CR><LF><SPACE>", to minimize the damage to MIME
+formatted mail.
+.PP
+The Postfix limit of 998 characters not including <CR><LF>
+is consistent with the SMTP limit of 1000 characters including
+<CR><LF>.  The Postfix limit was 990 with Postfix 2.8
+and earlier.
+.SH smtp_mail_timeout (default: 300s)
+The Postfix SMTP client time limit for sending the MAIL FROM command,
+and for receiving the remote SMTP server response.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtp_mime_header_checks (default: empty)

+Actions that change the delivery time or destination are not
+available.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH smtp_mx_address_limit (default: 5)
+The maximal number of MX (mail exchanger) IP addresses that can
+result from Postfix SMTP client mail exchanger lookups, or zero (no
+limit). Prior to
+Postfix version 2.3, this limit was disabled by default.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH smtp_mx_session_limit (default: 2)
+The maximal number of SMTP sessions per delivery request before
+the Postfix SMTP client
+gives up or delivers to a fall\-back relay host, or zero (no
+limit). This restriction ignores sessions that fail to complete the
+SMTP initial handshake (Postfix version 2.2 and earlier) or that fail to
+complete the EHLO and TLS handshake (Postfix version 2.3 and later).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH smtp_never_send_ehlo (default: no)
+Never send EHLO at the start of an SMTP session. See also the
+smtp_always_send_ehlo parameter.
+.SH smtp_per_record_deadline (default: no)
+Change the behavior of the smtp_*_timeout time limits, from a
+time limit per read or write system call, to a time limit to send
+or receive a complete record (an SMTP command line, SMTP response
+line, SMTP message content line, or TLS protocol message).  This
+limits the impact from hostile peers that trickle data one byte at
+a time.
+.PP
+Note: when per\-record deadlines are enabled, a short timeout
+may cause problems with TLS over very slow network connections.
+The reasons are that a TLS protocol message can be up to 16 kbytes
+long (with TLSv1), and that an entire TLS protocol message must be
+sent or received within the per\-record deadline.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.9 and later. With older
+Postfix releases, the behavior is as if this parameter is set to
+"no".
+.SH smtp_pix_workaround_delay_time (default: 10s)
+How long the Postfix SMTP client pauses before sending
+".<CR><LF>" in order to work around the PIX firewall
+"<CR><LF>.<CR><LF>" bug.
+.PP
+Choosing a too short time makes this workaround ineffective when
+sending large messages over slow network connections.
+.SH smtp_pix_workaround_maps (default: empty)
+Lookup tables, indexed by the remote SMTP server address, with
+per\-destination workarounds for CISCO PIX firewall bugs.  The table
+is not indexed by hostname for consistency with
+smtp_discard_ehlo_keyword_address_maps.

+How long a message must be queued before the Postfix SMTP client
+turns on the PIX firewall "<CR><LF>.<CR><LF>"
+bug workaround for delivery through firewalls with "smtp fixup"
+mode turned on.
+.PP
+By default, the workaround is turned off for mail that is queued

+.PP
+Specify 0 to enable the PIX firewall
+"<CR><LF>.<CR><LF>" bug workaround upon the
+first delivery attempt.
+.SH smtp_pix_workarounds (default: disable_esmtp, delay_dotcrlf)
+A list that specifies zero or more workarounds for CISCO PIX
+firewall bugs. These workarounds are implemented by the Postfix
+SMTP client. Workaround names are separated by comma or space, and
+are case insensitive.  This parameter setting can be overruled with
+per\-destination smtp_pix_workaround_maps settings.

+Quote addresses in Postfix SMTP client MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands
+as required
+by RFC 5321. This includes putting quotes around an address localpart
+that ends in ".".
+.PP
+The default is to comply with RFC 5321. If you have to send mail to

+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtp_reply_filter (default: empty)
+A mechanism to transform replies from remote SMTP servers one
+line at a time.  This is a last\-resort tool to work around server
+replies that break interoperability with the Postfix SMTP client.
+Other uses involve fault injection to test Postfix's handling of
+invalid responses.
+.PP
+Notes:
+.IP \(bu
+In the case of a multi\-line reply, the Postfix SMTP client
+uses the final reply line's numerical SMTP reply code and enhanced
+status code.
+.IP \(bu
+The numerical SMTP reply code (XYZ) takes precedence over
+the enhanced status code (X.Y.Z).  When the enhanced status code
+initial digit differs from the SMTP reply code initial digit, or
+when no enhanced status code is present, the Postfix SMTP client
+uses a generic enhanced status code (X.0.0) instead.
+.br
+.PP
+Specify the name of a "type:table" lookup table. The search
+string is a single SMTP reply line as received from the remote SMTP
+server, except that the trailing <CR><LF> are removed.

+.SH smtp_rset_timeout (default: 20s)
+The Postfix SMTP client time limit for sending the RSET command,
+and for receiving the remote SMTP server response. The SMTP client
+sends RSET in
+order to finish a recipient address probe, or to verify that a
+cached session is still usable.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH smtp_sasl_auth_cache_name (default: empty)
+An optional table to prevent repeated SASL authentication
+failures with the same remote SMTP server hostname, username and
+password. Each table (key, value) pair contains a server name, a
+username and password, and the full server response. This information
+is stored when a remote SMTP server rejects an authentication attempt
+with a 535 reply code.  As long as the smtp_sasl_password_maps
+information does no change, and as long as the smtp_sasl_auth_cache_name
+information does not expire (see smtp_sasl_auth_cache_time) the
+Postfix SMTP client avoids SASL authentication attempts with the
+same server, username and password, and instead bounces or defers
+mail as controlled with the smtp_sasl_auth_soft_bounce configuration
+parameter.
+.PP
+Use a per\-destination delivery concurrency of 1 (for example,
+"smtp_destination_concurrency_limit = 1",
+"relay_destination_concurrency_limit = 1", etc.), otherwise multiple
+delivery agents may experience a login failure at the same time.
+.PP
+The table must be accessed via the proxywrite service, i.e. the
+map name must start with "proxy:". The table should be stored under
+the directory specified with the data_directory parameter.
+.PP
+This feature uses cryptographic hashing to protect plain\-text
+passwords, and requires that Postfix is compiled with TLS support.

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH smtp_sasl_auth_enable (default: no)
+Enable SASL authentication in the Postfix SMTP client.  By default,

+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes

+.SH smtp_sasl_auth_soft_bounce (default: yes)
+When a remote SMTP server rejects a SASL authentication request
+with a 535 reply code, defer mail delivery instead of returning
+mail as undeliverable. The latter behavior was hard\-coded prior to
+Postfix version 2.5.

+.SH smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter (default: empty)
+If non\-empty, a Postfix SMTP client filter for the remote SMTP
+server's list of offered SASL mechanisms.  Different client and
+server implementations may support different mechanism lists; by
+default, the Postfix SMTP client will use the intersection of the
+two. smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter specifies an optional third mechanism
+list to intersect with.
+.PP
+Specify mechanism names, "/file/name" patterns or "type:table"
+lookup tables. The right\-hand side result from "type:table" lookups
+is ignored. Specify "!pattern" to exclude a mechanism name from the

+.SH smtp_sasl_password_maps (default: empty)
+Optional Postfix SMTP client lookup tables with one username:password
+entry per sender, remote hostname or next\-hop domain. Per\-sender
+lookup is done only when sender\-dependent authentication is enabled.
+If no username:password entry is found, then the Postfix SMTP client
+will not attempt to authenticate to the remote host.
+.PP
+The Postfix SMTP client opens the lookup table before going to
+chroot jail, so you can leave the password file in /etc/postfix.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order

+.SH smtp_sasl_path (default: empty)
+Implementation\-specific information that the Postfix SMTP client
+passes through to

+\fBsmtp_sasl_type\fR.  Typically this specifies the name of a
+configuration file or rendezvous point.

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_sasl_tls_verified_security_options (default: $smtp_sasl_tls_security_options)
+The SASL authentication security options that the Postfix SMTP
+client uses for TLS encrypted SMTP sessions with a verified server
+certificate.
+.PP
+When mail is sent to the public MX host for the recipient's
+domain, server certificates are by default optional, and delivery
+proceeds even if certificate verification fails. For delivery via
+a submission service that requires SASL authentication, it may be
+appropriate to send plaintext passwords only when the connection
+to the server is strongly encrypted \fBand\fR the server identity
+is verified.
+.PP
+The smtp_sasl_tls_verified_security_options parameter makes it
+possible to only enable plaintext mechanisms when a secure connection
+to the server is available. Submission servers subject to this
+policy must either have verifiable certificates or offer suitable
+non\-plaintext SASL mechanisms.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later.
+.SH smtp_sasl_type (default: cyrus)
+The SASL plug\-in type that the Postfix SMTP client should use
+for authentication.  The available types are listed with the
+"\fBpostconf \-A\fR" command.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_send_dummy_mail_auth (default: no)
+Whether or not to append the "AUTH=<>" option to the MAIL
+FROM command in SASL\-authenticated SMTP sessions. The default is
+not to send this, to avoid problems with broken remote SMTP servers.
+Before Postfix 2.9 the behavior is as if "smtp_send_dummy_mail_auth
+= yes".
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.9 and later.
+.SH smtp_send_xforward_command (default: no)
+Send the non\-standard XFORWARD command when the Postfix SMTP server
+EHLO response announces XFORWARD support.
+.PP
+This allows a Postfix SMTP delivery agent, used for injecting mail
+into
+a content filter, to forward the name, address, protocol and HELO
+name of the original client to the content filter and downstream
+queuing SMTP server. This can produce more useful logging than
+localhost[127.0.0.1] etc.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH smtp_sender_dependent_authentication (default: no)
+Enable sender\-dependent authentication in the Postfix SMTP client; this is
+available only with SASL authentication, and disables SMTP connection
+caching to ensure that mail from different senders will use the
+appropriate credentials.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_skip_4xx_greeting (default: yes)
+Skip SMTP servers that greet with a 4XX status code (go away, try
+again later).
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP client moves on the next mail exchanger.
+Specify
+"smtp_skip_4xx_greeting = no" if Postfix should defer delivery
+immediately.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and earlier.
+Later Postfix versions always skip remote SMTP servers that greet
+with a
+4XX status code.
+.SH smtp_skip_5xx_greeting (default: yes)
+Skip remote SMTP servers that greet with a 5XX status code.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP client moves on the next mail
+exchanger. Specify "smtp_skip_5xx_greeting = no" if Postfix should
+bounce the mail immediately. Caution: the latter behavior appears
+to contradict RFC 2821.
+.SH smtp_skip_quit_response (default: yes)
+Do not wait for the response to the SMTP QUIT command.
+.SH smtp_starttls_timeout (default: 300s)
+Time limit for Postfix SMTP client write and read operations
+during TLS startup and shutdown handshake procedures.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_tcp_port (default: smtp)
+The default TCP port that the Postfix SMTP client connects to.
+Specify a symbolic name (see \fBservices\fR(5)) or a numeric port.
+.SH smtp_tls_CAfile (default: empty)
+A file containing CA certificates of root CAs trusted to sign
+either remote SMTP server certificates or intermediate CA certificates.
+These are loaded into memory before the \fBsmtp\fR(8) client enters the
+chroot jail. If the number of trusted roots is large, consider using
+smtp_tls_CApath instead, but note that the latter directory must be
+present in the chroot jail if the \fBsmtp\fR(8) client is chrooted. This
+file may also be used to augment the client certificate trust chain,
+but it is best to include all the required certificates directly in
+$smtp_tls_cert_file (or, Postfix >= 3.4 $smtp_tls_chain_files).
+.PP
+Specify "smtp_tls_CAfile = /path/to/system_CA_file" to use

+file.  With Postfix >= 3.4 the preferred way to configure client keys
+and certificates is via the "smtp_tls_chain_files" parameter.
+.PP
+Do not configure client certificates unless you \fBmust\fR present

+.in -4
+.PP
+The best way to use the default settings is to comment out the above
+parameters in main.cf if present.
+.PP
+To enable remote SMTP servers to verify the Postfix SMTP client
+certificate, the issuing CA certificates must be made available to the

+certificate file, the client certificate first, then the issuing
+CA(s) (bottom\-up order).
+.PP
+Example: the certificate for "client.example.com" was issued by

+.SH smtp_tls_chain_files (default: empty)
+List of one or more PEM files, each holding one or more private keys
+directly followed by a corresponding certificate chain.  The file names
+are separated by commas and/or whitespace.  This parameter obsoletes the
+legacy algorithm\-specific key and certificate file settings.  When this
+parameter is non\-empty, the legacy parameters are ignored, and a warning
+is logged if any are also non\-empty.
+.PP
+With the proliferation of multiple private key algorithms-which,
+as of OpenSSL 1.1.1, include DSA (obsolete), RSA, ECDSA, Ed25519
+and Ed448-it is increasingly impractical to use separate
+parameters to configure the key and certificate chain for each
+algorithm.  Therefore, Postfix now supports storing multiple keys and
+corresponding certificate chains in a single file or in a set of files.
+.PP
+Each key must appear \fBimmediately before\fR the corresponding
+certificate, optionally followed by additional issuer certificates that
+complete the certificate chain for that key.  When multiple files are
+specified, they are equivalent to a single file that is concatenated
+from those files in the given order.  Thus, while a key must always
+precede its certificate and issuer chain, it can be in a separate file,
+so long as that file is listed immediately before the file that holds
+the corresponding certificate chain.  Once all the files are
+concatenated, the sequence of PEM objects must be: \fIkey1, cert1,
+[chain1], key2, cert2, [chain2], ..., keyN, certN, [chainN].\fR
+.PP
+Storing the private key in the same file as the corresponding
+certificate is more reliable.  With the key and certificate in separate
+files, there is a chance that during key rollover a Postfix process
+might load a private key and certificate from separate files that don't
+match.  Various operational errors may even result in a persistent
+broken configuration in which the certificate does not match the private
+key.
+.PP
+The file or files must contain at most one key of each type.  If,
+for example, two or more RSA keys and corresponding chains are listed,
+depending on the version of OpenSSL either only the last one will be
+used or an configuration error may be detected.  Note that while

+to create interoperability problems by choosing a non\-default cipher
+list. Do not use a non\-default TLS cipher list on hosts that deliver email
+to the public Internet: you will be unable to send email to servers that

+.IP "\fBdane\fR (default)"
+The TLSA records will be used just as with "secure" MX records.
+TLS encryption will be required, and, if at least one of the TLSA
+records is "usable", authentication will be required.  When
+authentication succeeds, it will be logged only as "Trusted", not
+"Verified", because the MX host name could have been forged.
+.br
+.br

+Though with "insecure" MX records an active attacker can
+compromise SMTP transport security by returning forged MX records,

+.SH smtp_tls_fingerprint_digest (default: md5)
+The message digest algorithm used to construct remote SMTP server
+certificate fingerprints. At the "fingerprint" TLS security level
+(\fBsmtp_tls_security_level\fR = fingerprint), the server certificate is
+verified by directly matching its certificate fingerprint or its public
+key fingerprint (Postfix 2.9 and later). The fingerprint is the
+message digest of the server certificate (or its public key)
+using the selected
+algorithm. With a digest algorithm resistant to "second pre\-image"
+attacks, it is not feasible to create a new public key and a matching
+certificate (or public/private key\-pair) that has the same fingerprint.
+.PP
+The default algorithm is \fBmd5\fR; this is consistent with
+the backwards compatible setting of the digest used to verify client
+certificates in the SMTP server.
+.PP
+The best practice algorithm is now \fBsha1\fR. Recent advances in hash
+function cryptanalysis have led to md5 being deprecated in favor of sha1.
+However, as long as there are no known "second pre\-image" attacks
+against md5, its use in this context can still be considered safe.
+.PP
+While additional digest algorithms are often available with OpenSSL's
+libcrypto, only those used by libssl in SSL cipher suites are available to
+Postfix. For now this means just md5 or sha1.
+.PP
+To find the fingerprint of a specific certificate file, with a
+specific digest algorithm, run:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+$ openssl x509 \-noout \-fingerprint \-\fIdigest\fR \-in \fIcertfile\fR.pem
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+The text to the right of "=" sign is the desired fingerprint.

+SHA1 Fingerprint=D4:6A:AB:19:24:79:F8:32:BB:A6:CB:66:82:C0:8E:9B:EE:29:A8:1A
+.fi

+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+To extract the public key fingerprint from an X.509 certificate,
+you need to extract the public key from the certificate and compute
+the appropriate digest of its DER (ASN.1) encoding. With OpenSSL
+the "\-pubkey" option of the "x509" command extracts the public
+key always in "PEM" format. We pipe the result to another OpenSSL
+command that converts the key to DER and then to the "dgst" command
+to compute the fingerprint.
+.PP
+The actual command to transform the key to DER format depends
+on the version of OpenSSL used. With OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later, the
+"pkey" command supports all key types. With OpenSSL 0.9.8 and
+earlier, the key type is always RSA (nobody uses DSA, and EC

+TLS is enforced, set "smtp_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers = aNULL".
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers (default: empty)
+Additional list of ciphers or cipher types to exclude from the
+Postfix SMTP client cipher list at mandatory TLS security levels. This list
+works in addition to the exclusions listed with smtp_tls_exclude_ciphers
+(see there for syntax details).
+.PP
+Starting with Postfix 2.6, the mandatory cipher exclusions can be
+specified on a per\-destination basis via the TLS policy "exclude"
+attribute. See smtp_tls_policy_maps for notes and examples.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols (default: !SSLv2, !SSLv3)
+List of SSL/TLS protocols that the Postfix SMTP client will use with
+mandatory TLS encryption.  In main.cf the values are separated by
+whitespace, commas or colons. In the policy table "protocols" attribute
+(see smtp_tls_policy_maps) the only valid separator is colon. An
+empty value means allow all protocols. The valid protocol names, (see
+\\fBfBSSL_get_version\fR(3)\fR), are "SSLv2", "SSLv3" and "TLSv1". The
+default value is "!SSLv2, !SSLv3" for Postfix releases after the
+middle of 2015, "!SSLv2" for older releases.
+.PP
+With Postfix >= 2.5 the parameter syntax was expanded to support
+protocol exclusions. One can explicitly exclude "SSLv2" by setting
+"smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2". To exclude both "SSLv2" and
+"SSLv3" set "smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3". Listing
+the protocols to include, rather than protocols to exclude, is
+supported, but not recommended. The exclusion form more closely
+matches the underlying OpenSSL interface semantics.
+.PP
+The range of protocols advertised by an SSL/TLS client must be
+contiguous.  When a protocol version is enabled, disabling any
+higher version implicitly disables all versions above that higher version.
+Thus, for example (assuming the OpenSSL library supports both SSLv2
+and SSLv3):
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !TLSv1
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+also disables any protocols version higher than TLSv1 leaving
+only "SSLv3" enabled.
+.PP
+Note: As of OpenSSL 1.0.1 two new protocols are defined, "TLSv1.1"
+and "TLSv1.2". When Postfix <= 2.5 is linked against OpenSSL 1.0.1
+or later, these, or any other new protocol versions, cannot be
+disabled except by also disabling "TLSv1" (typically leaving just
+"SSLv3").  The latest patch levels of Postfix >= 2.6, and all
+versions of Postfix >= 2.10 can explicitly disable support for
+"TLSv1.1" or "TLSv1.2".
+.PP
+OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduces support for "TLSv1.3".  With Postfix
+>= 3.4 (or patch releases >= 3.0.14, 3.1.10, 3.2.7 and 3.3.2)
+this can be disabled, if need be, via "!TLSv1.3".
+.PP
+At the dane and
+dane\-only security
+levels, when usable TLSA records are obtained for the remote SMTP
+server, the Postfix SMTP client is obligated to include the SNI TLS
+extension in its SSL client hello message.  This may help the remote
+SMTP server live up to its promise to provide a certificate that
+matches its TLSA records.  Since TLS extensions require TLS 1.0 or
+later, the Postfix SMTP client must disable "SSLv2" and "SSLv3" when
+SNI is required.  If you use "dane" or "dane\-only" do not disable
+TLSv1, except perhaps via the policy table for destinations which
+you are sure will support "TLSv1.1" or "TLSv1.2".
+.PP
+See the documentation of the smtp_tls_policy_maps parameter and
+TLS_README for more information about security levels.
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+# Preferred syntax with Postfix >= 2.5:
+smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3
+# Legacy syntax:
+smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = TLSv1

+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer (default: no)
+Log the hostname of a remote SMTP server that offers STARTTLS,
+when TLS is not already enabled for that server.
+.PP
+The logfile record looks like:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+postfix/smtp[pid]:  Host offered STARTTLS: [name.of.host]
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_per_site (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables with the Postfix SMTP client TLS usage
+policy by next\-hop destination and by remote SMTP server hostname.
+When both lookups succeed, the more specific per\-site policy (NONE,
+MUST, etc) overrides the less specific one (MAY), and the more secure
+per\-site policy (MUST, etc) overrides the less secure one (NONE).
+With Postfix 2.3 and later smtp_tls_per_site is strongly discouraged:
+use smtp_tls_policy_maps instead.
+.PP
+Use of the bare hostname as the per\-site table lookup key is
+discouraged. Always use the full destination nexthop (enclosed in
+[] with a possible ":port" suffix). A recipient domain or MX\-enabled
+transport next\-hop with no port suffix may look like a bare hostname,
+but is still a suitable \fIdestination\fR.
+.PP
+Specify a next\-hop destination or server hostname on the left\-hand
+side; no wildcards are allowed. The next\-hop destination is either
+the recipient domain, or the destination specified with a \fBtransport\fR(5)
+table, the relayhost parameter, or the relay_transport parameter.
+On the right hand side specify one of the following keywords:
+.IP "NONE"
+Don't use TLS at all. This overrides a less
+specific \fBMAY\fR lookup result from the alternate host or next\-hop
+lookup key, and overrides the global smtp_use_tls, smtp_enforce_tls,
+and smtp_tls_enforce_peername settings.
+.br
+.IP "MAY"
+Try to use TLS if the server announces support,
+otherwise use the unencrypted connection. This has less precedence
+than a more specific result (including \fBNONE\fR) from the alternate
+host or next\-hop lookup key, and has less precedence than the more
+specific global "smtp_enforce_tls = yes" or "smtp_tls_enforce_peername
+= yes".
+.br
+.IP "MUST_NOPEERMATCH"
+Require TLS encryption, but do not
+require that the remote SMTP server hostname matches the information
+in the remote SMTP server certificate, or that the server certificate
+was issued by a trusted CA. This overrides a less secure \fBNONE\fR
+or a less specific \fBMAY\fR lookup result from the alternate host
+or next\-hop lookup key, and overrides the global smtp_use_tls,
+smtp_enforce_tls and smtp_tls_enforce_peername settings.
+.br
+.IP "MUST"
+Require TLS encryption, require that the remote
+SMTP server hostname matches the information in the remote SMTP
+server certificate, and require that the remote SMTP server certificate
+was issued by a trusted CA. This overrides a less secure \fBNONE\fR
+and \fBMUST_NOPEERMATCH\fR or a less specific \fBMAY\fR lookup
+result from the alternate host or next\-hop lookup key, and overrides
+the global smtp_use_tls, smtp_enforce_tls and smtp_tls_enforce_peername
+settings.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+The above keywords correspond to the "none", "may", "encrypt" and
+"verify" security levels for the new smtp_tls_security_level parameter
+introduced in Postfix 2.3. Starting with Postfix 2.3, and independently
+of how the policy is specified, the smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers and
+smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols parameters apply when TLS encryption
+is mandatory. Connections for which encryption is optional typically
+enable all "export" grade and better ciphers (see smtp_tls_ciphers
+and smtp_tls_protocols).
+.PP
+As long as no secure DNS lookup mechanism is available, false
+hostnames in MX or CNAME responses can change the server hostname
+that Postfix uses for TLS policy lookup and server certificate
+verification. Even with a perfect match between the server hostname and
+the server certificate, there is no guarantee that Postfix is connected
+to the right server.  See TLS_README (Closing a DNS loophole with obsolete
+per\-site TLS policies) for a possible work\-around.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later. With
+Postfix 2.3 and later use smtp_tls_policy_maps instead.
+.SH smtp_tls_policy_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables with the Postfix SMTP client TLS security
+policy by next\-hop destination; when a non\-empty value is specified,
+this overrides the obsolete smtp_tls_per_site parameter.  See
+TLS_README for a more detailed discussion of TLS security levels.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+The TLS policy table is indexed by the full next\-hop destination,
+which is either the recipient domain, or the verbatim next\-hop
+specified in the transport table, $local_transport, $virtual_transport,
+$relay_transport or $default_transport. This includes any enclosing
+square brackets and any non\-default destination server port suffix. The
+LMTP socket type prefix (inet: or unix:) is not included in the lookup
+key.
+.PP
+Only the next\-hop domain, or $myhostname with LMTP over UNIX\-domain
+sockets, is used as the nexthop name for certificate verification. The
+port and any enclosing square brackets are used in the table lookup key,
+but are not used for server name verification.
+.PP
+When the lookup key is a domain name without enclosing square brackets
+or any \fI:port\fR suffix (typically the recipient domain), and the full
+domain is not found in the table, just as with the \fBtransport\fR(5) table,
+the parent domain starting with a leading "." is matched recursively. This
+allows one to specify a security policy for a recipient domain and all
+its sub\-domains.
+.PP
+The lookup result is a security level, followed by an optional list
+of whitespace and/or comma separated name=value attributes that override
+related main.cf settings. The TLS security levels in order of increasing
+security are:
+.IP "\fBnone\fR"
+No TLS. No additional attributes are supported at this level.
+.br
+.IP "\fBmay\fR"
+Opportunistic TLS. Since sending in the clear is acceptable,
+demanding stronger than default TLS security merely reduces
+interoperability. The optional "ciphers", "exclude", and "protocols"
+attributes (available for opportunistic TLS with Postfix >= 2.6)
+and "connection_reuse" attribute (Postfix >= 3.4) override the
+"smtp_tls_ciphers", "smtp_tls_exclude_ciphers", "smtp_tls_protocols",
+and
+"smtp_tls_connection_reuse" configuration parameters. When opportunistic
+TLS handshakes fail, Postfix retries the connection with TLS disabled.
+This allows mail delivery to sites with non\-interoperable TLS
+implementations.
+.br
+.IP "\fBencrypt\fR"
+Mandatory TLS encryption. At this level
+and higher, the optional "protocols" attribute overrides the main.cf
+smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols parameter, the optional "ciphers" attribute
+overrides the main.cf smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers parameter, the
+optional "exclude" attribute (Postfix >= 2.6) overrides the main.cf
+smtp_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers parameter, and the optional
+"connection_reuse" attribute (Postfix >= 3.4) overrides the
+main.cf smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter. In the policy table,
+multiple protocols or excluded ciphers must be separated by colons,
+as attribute values may not contain whitespace or commas.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdane\fR"
+Opportunistic DANE TLS.  The TLS policy for the destination is
+obtained via TLSA records in DNSSEC.  If no TLSA records are found,
+the effective security level used is may.  If TLSA records are
+found, but none are usable, the effective security level is encrypt.  When usable
+TLSA records are obtained for the remote SMTP server, the
+server certificate must match the TLSA records.  RFC 7672 (DANE)
+TLS authentication and DNSSEC support is available with Postfix
+2.11 and later. The optional "connection_reuse" attribute (Postfix
+>= 3.4) overrides the main.cf smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdane\-only\fR"
+Mandatory DANE TLS.  The TLS policy for the destination is
+obtained via TLSA records in DNSSEC.  If no TLSA records are found,
+or none are usable, no connection is made to the server.  When
+usable TLSA records are obtained for the remote SMTP server, the
+server certificate must match the TLSA records.  RFC 7672 (DANE) TLS
+authentication and DNSSEC support is available with Postfix 2.11
+and later. The optional "connection_reuse" attribute (Postfix >=
+3.4) overrides the main.cf smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter.
+.br
+.IP "\fBfingerprint\fR"
+Certificate fingerprint
+verification. Available with Postfix 2.5 and later. At this security
+level, there are no trusted Certification Authorities. The certificate
+trust chain, expiration date, ... are not checked. Instead,
+the optional \fBmatch\fR attribute, or else the main.cf
+\fBsmtp_tls_fingerprint_cert_match\fR parameter, lists the certificate
+fingerprints or the public key fingerprint (Postfix 2.9 and later)
+of the valid server certificate. The digest
+algorithm used to calculate the fingerprint is selected by the
+\fBsmtp_tls_fingerprint_digest\fR parameter. Multiple fingerprints can
+be combined with a "|" delimiter in a single match attribute, or multiple
+match attributes can be employed. The ":" character is not used as a
+delimiter as it occurs between each pair of fingerprint (hexadecimal)
+digits. The optional "connection_reuse" attribute (Postfix >= 3.4)
+overrides the main.cf smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter.
+.br
+.IP "\fBverify\fR"
+Mandatory TLS verification.  At this security
+level, DNS MX lookups are trusted to be secure enough, and the name
+verified in the server certificate is usually obtained indirectly via
+unauthenticated DNS MX lookups.  The optional "match" attribute overrides
+the main.cf smtp_tls_verify_cert_match parameter. In the policy table,
+multiple match patterns and strategies must be separated by colons.
+In practice explicit control over matching is more common with the
+"secure" policy, described below. The optional "connection_reuse"
+attribute (Postfix >= 3.4) overrides the main.cf
+smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter.
+.br
+.IP "\fBsecure\fR"
+Secure\-channel TLS. At this security level, DNS
+MX lookups, though potentially used to determine the candidate next\-hop
+gateway IP addresses, are \fBnot\fR trusted to be secure enough for TLS
+peername verification. Instead, the default name verified in the server
+certificate is obtained directly from the next\-hop, or is explicitly
+specified via the optional \fBmatch\fR attribute which overrides the
+main.cf smtp_tls_secure_cert_match parameter. In the policy table,
+multiple match patterns and strategies must be separated by colons.
+The match attribute is most useful when multiple domains are supported by
+common server, the policy entries for additional domains specify matching
+rules for the primary domain certificate. While transport table overrides
+routing the secondary domains to the primary nexthop also allow secure
+verification, they risk delivery to the wrong destination when domains
+change hands or are re\-assigned to new gateways. With the "match"
+attribute approach, routing is not perturbed, and mail is deferred if
+verification of a new MX host fails. The optional "connection_reuse"
+attribute (Postfix >= 3.4) overrides the main.cf
+smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter.

+.SH smtp_tls_protocols (default: !SSLv2, !SSLv3)
+List of TLS protocols that the Postfix SMTP client will exclude or
+include with opportunistic TLS encryption. The default value is
+"!SSLv2, !SSLv3" for Postfix releases after the middle of 2015,
+"!SSLv2" for older releases. Before Postfix 2.6, the Postfix SMTP
+client would use all protocols with opportunistic TLS.
+.PP
+In main.cf the values are separated by whitespace, commas or
+colons. In the policy table (see smtp_tls_policy_maps) the only valid
+separator is colon. An empty value means allow all protocols. The valid
+protocol names, (see \\fBfBSSL_get_version\fR(3)\fR), are "SSLv2", "SSLv3"
+and "TLSv1".
+.PP
+The range of protocols advertised by an SSL/TLS client must be
+contiguous.  When a protocol version is enabled, disabling any

+.SH smtp_tls_scert_verifydepth (default: 9)
+The verification depth for remote SMTP server certificates. A depth
+of 1 is sufficient if the issuing CA is listed in a local CA file.
+.PP
+The default verification depth is 9 (the OpenSSL default) for
+compatibility with earlier Postfix behavior. Prior to Postfix 2.5,
+the default value was 5, but the limit was not actually enforced. If
+you have set this to a lower non\-default value, certificates with longer
+trust chains may now fail to verify. Certificate chains with 1 or 2
+CAs are common, deeper chains are more rare and any number between 5
+and 9 should suffice in practice. You can choose a lower number if,
+for example, you trust certificates directly signed by an issuing CA
+but not any CAs it delegates to.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_secure_cert_match (default: nexthop, dot\-nexthop)
+How the Postfix SMTP client verifies the server certificate
+peername for the "secure" TLS security level. In a "secure" TLS policy table
+($smtp_tls_policy_maps) entry the optional "match" attribute
+overrides this main.cf setting.

+This parameter specifies one or more patterns or strategies separated
+by commas, whitespace or colons.  In the policy table the only valid
+separator is the colon character.

+The default SMTP TLS security level for the Postfix SMTP client;
+when a non\-empty value is specified, this overrides the obsolete
+parameters smtp_use_tls, smtp_enforce_tls, and smtp_tls_enforce_peername.
+.PP
+Specify one of the following security levels:
+.IP "\fBnone\fR"
+No TLS. TLS will not be used unless enabled for specific
+destinations via smtp_tls_policy_maps.
+.br
+.IP "\fBmay\fR"
+Opportunistic TLS. Use TLS if this is supported by the remote
+SMTP server, otherwise use plaintext. Since
+sending in the clear is acceptable, demanding stronger than default TLS
+security merely reduces interoperability.
+The "smtp_tls_ciphers" and "smtp_tls_protocols" (Postfix >= 2.6)
+configuration parameters provide control over the protocols and
+cipher grade used with opportunistic TLS.  With earlier releases the
+opportunistic TLS cipher grade is always "export" and no protocols
+are disabled.
+When TLS handshakes fail, the connection is retried with TLS disabled.
+This allows mail delivery to sites with non\-interoperable TLS
+implementations.
+.br
+.IP "\fBencrypt\fR"
+Mandatory TLS encryption. Since a minimum
+level of security is intended, it is reasonable to be specific about
+sufficiently secure protocol versions and ciphers. At this security level
+and higher, the main.cf parameters smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols and
+smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers specify the TLS protocols and minimum
+cipher grade which the administrator considers secure enough for
+mandatory encrypted sessions. This security level is not an appropriate
+default for systems delivering mail to the Internet.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdane\fR"
+Opportunistic DANE TLS.  At this security level, the TLS policy
+for the destination is obtained via DNSSEC.  For TLSA policy to be
+in effect, the destination domain's containing DNS zone must be
+signed and the Postfix SMTP client's operating system must be
+configured to send its DNS queries to a recursive DNS nameserver
+that is able to validate the signed records.  Each MX host's DNS
+zone should also be signed, and should publish DANE TLSA (RFC 7672)
+records that specify how that MX host's TLS certificate is to be
+verified.  TLSA records do not preempt the normal SMTP MX host
+selection algorithm, if some MX hosts support TLSA and others do
+not, TLS security will vary from delivery to delivery.  It is up
+to the domain owner to configure their MX hosts and their DNS
+sensibly.  To configure the Postfix SMTP client for DNSSEC lookups
+see the documentation for the smtp_dns_support_level main.cf
+parameter.  When DNSSEC\-validated TLSA records are not found the
+effective tls security level is "may".  When TLSA records are found,
+but are all unusable the effective security level is "encrypt".  For
+purposes of protocol and cipher selection, the "dane" security level
+is treated like a "mandatory" TLS security level, and weak ciphers
+and protocols are disabled.  Since DANE authenticates server
+certificates the "aNULL" cipher\-suites are transparently excluded
+at this level, no need to configure this manually.  RFC 7672 (DANE)
+TLS authentication is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdane\-only\fR"
+Mandatory DANE TLS.  This is just like "dane" above, but DANE
+TLSA authentication is required.  There is no fallback to "may" or
+"encrypt" when TLSA records are missing or unusable.  RFC 7672
+(DANE) TLS authentication is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBfingerprint\fR"
+Certificate fingerprint verification.
+At this security level, there are no trusted Certification Authorities.
+The certificate trust chain, expiration date, etc., are
+not checked. Instead, the \fBsmtp_tls_fingerprint_cert_match\fR
+parameter lists the certificate fingerprint or public key fingerprint
+(Postfix 2.9 and later) of the valid server certificate. The digest
+algorithm used to calculate the fingerprint is selected by the
+\fBsmtp_tls_fingerprint_digest\fR parameter. Available with Postfix
+2.5 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBverify\fR"
+Mandatory TLS verification. At this security
+level, DNS MX lookups are trusted to be secure enough, and the name
+verified in the server certificate is usually obtained indirectly
+via unauthenticated DNS MX lookups. The smtp_tls_verify_cert_match
+parameter controls how the server name is verified. In practice explicit
+control over matching is more common at the "secure" level, described
+below. This security level is not an appropriate default for systems
+delivering mail to the Internet.
+.br
+.IP "\fBsecure\fR"
+Secure\-channel TLS.  At this security level,
+DNS MX lookups, though potentially used to determine the candidate
+next\-hop gateway IP addresses, are \fBnot\fR trusted to be secure enough
+for TLS peername verification. Instead, the default name verified in
+the server certificate is obtained from the next\-hop domain as specified
+in the smtp_tls_secure_cert_match configuration parameter. The default
+matching rule is that a server certificate matches when its name is equal
+to or is a sub\-domain of the nexthop domain. This security level is not
+an appropriate default for systems delivering mail to the Internet.

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_servername (default: empty)
+Optional name to send to the remote SMTP server in the TLS Server
+Name Indication (SNI) extension.  The SNI extension is always on when
+DANE is used to authenticate the server, and in that case the SNI name
+sent is the one required by RFC7672 and this parameter is ignored.
+.PP
+Some SMTP servers use the received SNI name to select an appropriate
+certificate chain to present to the client.  While this may improve
+interoperability with such servers, it may reduce interoperability with
+other servers that choose to abort the connection when they don't have a
+certificate chain configured for the requested name.  Such servers
+should select a default certificate chain and continue the handshake,
+but some may not.  Therefore, absent DANE, no SNI name is sent by
+default.
+.PP
+The SNI name must be either a valid DNS hostname, or else one of the
+special values \fBhostname\fR or \fBnexthop\fR, which select either the
+remote hostname or the nexthop domain respectively.  DNS names for SNI must be
+in A\-label (punycode) form.  Invalid DNS names log a configuration error
+warning and mail delivery is deferred.
+.PP
+Except when using a relayhost to forward all email, the only
+sensible non\-empty main.cf setting for this parameter is
+\fBhostname\fR.  Other non\-empty values are only practical on a
+per\-destination basis via the \fBservername\fR attribute of the Postfix
+TLS policy table.  When
+in doubt, leave this parameter empty, and configure per\-destination SNI
+as needed.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.4 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_session_cache_database (default: empty)
+Name of the file containing the optional Postfix SMTP client
+TLS session cache. Specify a database type that supports enumeration,
+such as \fBbtree\fR or \fBsdbm\fR; there is no need to support
+concurrent access.  The file is created if it does not exist. The \fBsmtp\fR(8)
+daemon does not use this parameter directly, rather the cache is
+implemented indirectly in the \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) daemon. This means that
+per\-smtp\-instance master.cf overrides of this parameter are not effective.
+Note, that each of the cache databases supported by \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) daemon:
+$smtpd_tls_session_cache_database, $smtp_tls_session_cache_database
+(and with Postfix 2.3 and later $lmtp_tls_session_cache_database), needs to
+be stored separately. It is not at this time possible to store multiple
+caches in a single database.
+.PP
+Note: \fBdbm\fR databases are not suitable. TLS
+session objects are too large.
+.PP
+As of version 2.5, Postfix no longer uses root privileges when
+opening this file. The file should now be stored under the Postfix\-owned
+data_directory. As a migration aid, an attempt to open the file
+under a non\-Postfix directory is redirected to the Postfix\-owned
+data_directory, and a warning is logged.
+.PP
+Example:

+.na
+.ft C
+smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:/var/lib/postfix/smtp_scache
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_session_cache_timeout (default: 3600s)
+The expiration time of Postfix SMTP client TLS session cache
+information.  A cache cleanup is performed periodically
+every $smtp_tls_session_cache_timeout seconds. As with
+$smtp_tls_session_cache_database, this parameter is implemented in the
+\fBtlsmgr\fR(8) daemon and therefore per\-smtp\-instance master.cf overrides
+are not possible.
+.PP
+As of Postfix 2.11 this setting cannot exceed 100 days.  If set
+<= 0, session caching is disabled.  If set to a positive value
+less than 2 minutes, the minimum value of 2 minutes is used instead.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_trust_anchor_file (default: empty)
+Zero or more PEM\-format files with trust\-anchor certificates
+and/or public keys.  If the parameter is not empty the root CAs in
+CAfile and CApath are no longer trusted.  Rather, the Postfix SMTP
+client will only trust certificate\-chains signed by one of the
+trust\-anchors contained in the chosen files.  The specified
+trust\-anchor certificates and public keys are not subject to
+expiration, and need not be (self\-signed) root CAs.  They may, if
+desired, be intermediate certificates. Therefore, these certificates
+also may be found "in the middle" of the trust chain presented by
+the remote SMTP server, and any untrusted issuing parent certificates
+will be ignored.  Specify a list of pathnames separated by comma
+or whitespace.
+.PP
+Whether specified in main.cf, or on a per\-destination basis,
+the trust\-anchor PEM file must be accessible to the Postfix SMTP
+client in the chroot jail if applicable.  The trust\-anchor file
+should contain only certificates and public keys, no private key
+material, and must be readable by the non\-privileged $mail_owner
+user.  This allows destinations to be bound to a set of specific
+CAs or public keys without trusting the same CAs for all destinations.
+.PP
+The main.cf parameter supports single\-purpose Postfix installations
+that send mail to a fixed set of SMTP peers.  At most sites, if
+trust\-anchor files are used at all, they will be specified on a
+per\-destination basis via the "tafile" attribute of the "verify"
+and "secure" levels in smtp_tls_policy_maps.
+.PP
+The underlying mechanism is in support of RFC 7672 (DANE TLSA),
+which defines mechanisms for an SMTP client MTA to securely determine
+server TLS certificates via DNS.
+.PP
+If you want your trust anchors to be public keys, with OpenSSL
+you can extract a single PEM public key from a PEM X.509 file
+containing a single certificate, as follows:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+$ openssl x509 \-in cert.pem \-out ta\-key.pem \-noout \-pubkey

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_verify_cert_match (default: hostname)
+How the Postfix SMTP client verifies the server certificate
+peername for the
+"verify" TLS security level. In a "verify" TLS policy table
+($smtp_tls_policy_maps) entry the optional "match" attribute
+overrides this main.cf setting.
+.PP
+This parameter specifies one or more patterns or strategies separated
+by commas, whitespace or colons.  In the policy table the only valid
+separator is the colon character.
+.PP
+Patterns specify domain names, or domain name suffixes:
+.IP "\fIexample.com\fR"
+Match the \fIexample.com\fR domain,
+i.e. one of the names the server certificate must be \fIexample.com\fR,
+upper and lower case distinctions are ignored.
+.br
+.IP "\fI.example.com\fR"
+Match subdomains of the \fIexample.com\fR domain, i.e. match
+a name in the server certificate that consists of a non\-zero number of
+labels followed by a \fI.example.com\fR suffix. Case distinctions are
+ignored.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Strategies specify a transformation from the next\-hop domain
+to the expected name in the server certificate:
+.IP "nexthop"
+Match against the next\-hop domain, which is either the recipient
+domain, or the transport next\-hop configured for the domain stripped of
+any optional socket type prefix, enclosing square brackets and trailing
+port. When MX lookups are not suppressed, this is the original nexthop
+domain prior to the MX lookup, not the result of the MX lookup. For
+LMTP delivery via UNIX\-domain sockets, the verified next\-hop name is
+$myhostname.  This strategy is suitable for use with the "secure"
+policy. Case is ignored.
+.br
+.IP "dot\-nexthop"
+As above, but match server certificate names that are subdomains
+of the next\-hop domain. Case is ignored.
+.br
+.IP "hostname"
+Match against the hostname of the server, often
+obtained via an unauthenticated DNS MX lookup. For LMTP delivery via
+UNIX\-domain sockets, the verified name is $myhostname. This matches
+the verification strategy of the "MUST" keyword in the obsolete
+smtp_tls_per_site table, and is suitable for use with the "verify"
+security level. When the next\-hop name is enclosed in square brackets
+to suppress MX lookups, the "hostname" strategy is the same as the
+"nexthop" strategy. Case is ignored.
+.br

+.SH smtp_use_tls (default: no)
+Opportunistic mode: use TLS when a remote SMTP server announces
+STARTTLS support, otherwise send the mail in the clear. Beware:
+some SMTP servers offer STARTTLS even if it is not configured.  With
+Postfix < 2.3, if the TLS handshake fails, and no other server is
+available, delivery is deferred and mail stays in the queue. If this
+is a concern for you, use the smtp_tls_per_site feature instead.

+.SH smtp_xforward_timeout (default: 300s)
+The Postfix SMTP client time limit for sending the XFORWARD command,
+and for receiving the remote SMTP server response.

+.IP "\fBdefer\fR"
+Defer the request. The client is told to try again later. This
+restriction is useful at the end of a restriction list, to make
+the default policy explicit.
+.br
+The defer_code parameter specifies
+the SMTP server reply code (default: 450).
+.br
+.IP "\fBdefer_if_permit\fR"
+Defer the request if some later restriction would result in an
+explicit or implicit PERMIT action.  This is useful when a blacklisting
+feature fails due to a temporary problem.  This feature is available
+in Postfix version 2.1 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdefer_if_reject\fR"
+Defer the request if some later restriction would result in a
+REJECT action.  This is useful when a whitelisting feature fails

+Permit the request. This restriction is useful at the end of
+a restriction list, to make the default policy explicit.
+.br
+.IP "\fBreject_multi_recipient_bounce\fR"
+Reject the request when the envelope sender is the null address,
+and the message has multiple envelope recipients. This usage has
+rare but legitimate applications: under certain conditions,
+multi\-recipient mail that was posted with the DSN option NOTIFY=NEVER
+may be forwarded with the null sender address.
+.br
+Note: this restriction can only work reliably
+when used in smtpd_data_restrictions or
+smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions, because the total number of
+recipients is not known at an earlier stage of the SMTP conversation.
+Use at the RCPT stage will only reject the second etc.  recipient.
+.br
+The multi_recipient_bounce_reject_code parameter specifies the
+response code for rejected requests (default:  550).  This feature
+is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBreject_plaintext_session\fR"
+Reject the request when the connection is not encrypted. This
+restriction should not be used before the client has had a chance
+to negotiate encryption with the AUTH or STARTTLS commands.
+.br
+The plaintext_reject_code parameter specifies the response
+code for rejected requests (default:  450).  This feature is available
+in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBreject_unauth_pipelining\fR"
+Reject the request when the client sends SMTP commands ahead
+of time where it is not allowed, or when the client sends SMTP
+commands ahead of time without knowing that Postfix actually supports
+ESMTP command pipelining. This stops mail from bulk mail software
+that improperly uses ESMTP command pipelining in order to speed up
+deliveries.
+.br
+With Postfix 2.6 and later, the SMTP server sets a per\-session
+flag whenever it detects illegal pipelining, including pipelined
+HELO or EHLO commands. The reject_unauth_pipelining feature simply
+tests whether the flag was set at any point in time during the
+session.
+.br
+With older Postfix versions, reject_unauth_pipelining checks
+the current status of the input read queue, and its usage is not
+recommended in contexts other than smtpd_data_restrictions.
+.br
+.IP "\fBreject\fR"
+Reject the request. This restriction is useful at the end of
+a restriction list, to make the default policy explicit.  The
+reject_code configuration parameter specifies the response code for
+rejected requests (default: 554).
+.br

+.br
+.IP "\fBwarn_if_reject\fR"
+A safety net for testing. When "warn_if_reject" is placed
+before a reject\-type restriction, access table query, or
+check_policy_service query, this logs a "reject_warning" message
+instead of rejecting a request (when a reject\-type restriction fails
+due to a temporary error, this logs a "reject_warning" message for
+any implicit "defer_if_permit" actions that would normally prevent
+mail from being accepted by some later access restriction). This

+command.
+.PP
+With sites that reject lots of mail, the default setting reduces

+restriction lists" for a discussion of evaluation context and time.
+.PP
+With Postfix versions before 2.10, the rules for relay permission
+and spam blocking were combined under smtpd_recipient_restrictions,

+smtpd_recipient_restrictions.
+See SMTPD_ACCESS_README, section "Delayed evaluation of SMTP access
+restriction lists" for a discussion of evaluation context and time.
+.PP
+With Postfix versions before 2.10, the rules for relay permission
+and spam blocking were combined under smtpd_recipient_restrictions,
+resulting in error\-prone configuration.  As of Postfix 2.10, relay
+permission rules are preferably implemented with smtpd_relay_restrictions,
+so that a permissive spam blocking policy under
+smtpd_recipient_restrictions will no longer result in a permissive
+mail relay policy.
+.PP
+For backwards compatibility, sites that migrate from Postfix
+versions before 2.10 can set smtpd_relay_restrictions to the empty
+value, and use smtpd_recipient_restrictions exactly as before.

+This feature is available in Postix 2.10 and later.
+.SH smtpd_restriction_classes (default: empty)
+User\-defined aliases for groups of access restrictions. The aliases
+can be specified in smtpd_recipient_restrictions etc., and on the
+right\-hand side of a Postfix \fBaccess\fR(5) table.
+.PP
+One major application is for implementing per\-recipient UCE control.
+See the RESTRICTION_CLASS_README document for other examples.
+.SH smtpd_sasl_application_name (default: smtpd)
+The application name that the Postfix SMTP server uses for SASL
+server initialization. This
+controls the name of the SASL configuration file. The default value
+is \fBsmtpd\fR, corresponding to a SASL configuration file named
+\fBsmtpd.conf\fR.

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks (default: empty)
+What remote SMTP clients the Postfix SMTP server will not offer
+AUTH support to.
+.PP
+Some clients (Netscape 4 at least) have a bug that causes them to
+require a login and password whenever AUTH is offered, whether it's
+necessary or not. To work around this, specify, for example,
+$mynetworks to prevent Postfix from offering AUTH to local clients.
+.PP
+Specify a list of network/netmask patterns, separated by commas
+and/or whitespace. The mask specifies the number of bits in the
+network part of a host address. You can also "/file/name" or
+"type:table" patterns.  A "/file/name" pattern is replaced by its
+contents; a "type:table" lookup table is matched when a table entry
+matches a lookup string (the lookup result is ignored).  Continue
+long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. Specify
+"!pattern" to exclude an address or network block from the list.
+The form "!/file/name" is supported only in Postfix version 2.4 and
+later.
+.PP
+Note: IP version 6 address information must be specified inside
+[] in the smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks value, and in
+files specified with "/file/name".  IP version 6 addresses contain
+the ":" character, and would otherwise be confused with a "type:table"
+pattern.

+.SH smtpd_sasl_path (default: smtpd)
+Implementation\-specific information that the Postfix SMTP server
+passes through to
+the SASL plug\-in implementation that is selected with
+\fBsmtpd_sasl_type\fR.  Typically this specifies the name of a
+configuration file or rendezvous point.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later. In earlier
+releases it was called \fBsmtpd_sasl_application_name\fR.
+.SH smtpd_sasl_response_limit (default: 12288)
+The maximum length of a SASL client's response to a server challenge.
+When the client's "initial response" is longer than the normal limit for
+SMTP commands, the client must omit its initial response, and wait for an
+empty server challenge; it can then send what would have been its "initial
+response" as a response to the empty server challenge.  RFC4954 requires the
+server to accept client responses up to at least 12288 octets of
+base64\-encoded text.  The default value is therefore also the minimum value
+accepted for this parameter.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.4 and later. Prior versions use
+"line_length_limit", which may need to be raised to accommodate larger client
+responses, as may be needed with GSSAPI authentication of Windows AD users
+who are members of many groups.
+.SH smtpd_sasl_security_options (default: noanonymous)
+Postfix SMTP server SASL security options; as of Postfix 2.3
+the list of available
+features depends on the SASL server implementation that is selected
+with \fBsmtpd_sasl_type\fR.
+.PP
+The following security features are defined for the \fBcyrus\fR
+server SASL implementation:
+.PP
+Restrict what authentication mechanisms the Postfix SMTP server
+will offer to the client.  The list of available authentication
+mechanisms is system dependent.

+.IP "\fBnoplaintext\fR"
+Disallow methods that use plaintext passwords.
+.br
+.IP "\fBnoactive\fR"
+Disallow methods subject to active (non\-dictionary) attack.
+.br
+.IP "\fBnodictionary\fR"
+Disallow methods subject to passive (dictionary) attack.
+.br
+.IP "\fBnoanonymous\fR"
+Disallow methods that allow anonymous authentication.
+.br
+.IP "\fBforward_secrecy\fR"
+Only allow methods that support forward secrecy (Dovecot only).
+.br
+.IP "\fBmutual_auth\fR"
+Only allow methods that provide mutual authentication (not available
+with Cyrus SASL version 1).
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP server accepts plaintext passwords but
+not anonymous logins.
+.PP
+Warning: it appears that clients try authentication methods in the
+order as advertised by the server (e.g., PLAIN ANONYMOUS CRAM\-MD5)
+which means that if you disable plaintext passwords, clients will
+log in anonymously, even when they should be able to use CRAM\-MD5.
+So, if you disable plaintext logins, disable anonymous logins too.
+Postfix treats anonymous login as no authentication.

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 and later. Prior
+versions behave as if "\fBsmtp\fR" is specified.
+.SH smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options (default: $smtpd_sasl_security_options)
+The SASL authentication security options that the Postfix SMTP
+server uses for TLS encrypted SMTP sessions.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_sasl_type (default: cyrus)
+The SASL plug\-in type that the Postfix SMTP server should use
+for authentication. The available types are listed with the
+"\fBpostconf \-a\fR" command.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtpd_sender_login_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup table with the SASL login names that own the sender
+(MAIL FROM) addresses.

+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.  With lookups from
+indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked tables such as
+NIS, LDAP or SQL, the following search operations are done with a
+sender address of \fIuser@domain\fR:
+.IP "1) \fIuser@domain\fR"
+This table lookup is always done and has the highest precedence.
+.br
+.IP "2) \fIuser\fR"
+This table lookup is done only when the \fIdomain\fR part of the
+sender address matches $myorigin, $mydestination, $inet_interfaces
+or $proxy_interfaces.
+.br
+.IP "3) \fI@domain\fR"
+This table lookup is done last and has the lowest precedence.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+In all cases the result of table lookup must be either "not found"
+or a list of SASL login names separated by comma and/or whitespace.
+.SH smtpd_sender_restrictions (default: empty)
+Optional restrictions that the Postfix SMTP server applies in the
+context of a client MAIL FROM command.

+is 300s, but it changes under overload to just 10s. With Postfix
+2.5 and earlier, the SMTP server always uses a time limit of 300s
+by default.
+.PP
+Note: if you set SMTP time limits to very large values you may have
+to update the global ipc_timeout parameter.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtpd_tls_CAfile (default: empty)
+A file containing (PEM format) CA certificates of root CAs trusted
+to sign either remote SMTP client certificates or intermediate CA
+certificates.  These are loaded into memory before the \fBsmtpd\fR(8) server
+enters the chroot jail. If the number of trusted roots is large, consider
+using smtpd_tls_CApath instead, but note that the latter directory must
+be present in the chroot jail if the \fBsmtpd\fR(8) server is chrooted. This
+file may also be used to augment the server certificate trust chain,
+but it is best to include all the required certificates directly in the
+server certificate file.
+.PP
+Specify "smtpd_tls_CAfile = /path/to/system_CA_file" to use ONLY
+the system\-supplied default Certification Authority certificates.
+.PP
+Specify "tls_append_default_CA = no" to prevent Postfix from
+appending the system\-supplied default CAs and trusting third\-party
+certificates.
+.PP
+By default (see smtpd_tls_ask_ccert), client certificates are not
+requested, and smtpd_tls_CAfile should remain empty. If you do make use
+of client certificates, the distinguished names (DNs) of the Certification
+Authorities listed in smtpd_tls_CAfile are sent to the remote SMTP client
+in the client certificate request message. MUAs with multiple client
+certificates may use the list of preferred Certification Authorities
+to select the correct client certificate.  You may want to put your
+"preferred" CA or CAs in this file, and install other trusted CAs in
+$smtpd_tls_CApath.

+.SH smtpd_tls_CApath (default: empty)
+A directory containing (PEM format) CA certificates of root CAs
+trusted to sign either remote SMTP client certificates or intermediate CA
+certificates. Do not forget to create the necessary "hash" links with,
+for example, "$OPENSSL_HOME/bin/c_rehash /etc/postfix/certs". To use
+smtpd_tls_CApath in chroot mode, this directory (or a copy) must be

+.SH smtpd_tls_always_issue_session_ids (default: yes)
+Force the Postfix SMTP server to issue a TLS session id, even
+when TLS session caching is turned off (smtpd_tls_session_cache_database
+is empty). This behavior is compatible with Postfix < 2.3.
+.PP
+With Postfix 2.3 and later the Postfix SMTP server can disable
+session id generation when TLS session caching is turned off. This
+keeps remote SMTP clients from caching sessions that almost certainly cannot
+be re\-used.

+.PP
+Some clients such as Netscape will either complain if no

+.SH smtpd_tls_auth_only (default: no)
+When TLS encryption is optional in the Postfix SMTP server, do
+not announce or accept SASL authentication over unencrypted
+connections.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_ccert_verifydepth (default: 9)
+The verification depth for remote SMTP client certificates. A
+depth of 1 is sufficient if the issuing CA is listed in a local CA
+file.
+.PP
+The default verification depth is 9 (the OpenSSL default) for
+compatibility with earlier Postfix behavior. Prior to Postfix 2.5,
+the default value was 5, but the limit was not actually enforced. If
+you have set this to a lower non\-default value, certificates with longer
+trust chains may now fail to verify. Certificate chains with 1 or 2
+CAs are common, deeper chains are more rare and any number between 5
+and 9 should suffice in practice. You can choose a lower number if,
+for example, you trust certificates directly signed by an issuing CA
+but not any CAs it delegates to.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_cert_file (default: empty)
+File with the Postfix SMTP server RSA certificate in PEM format.
+This file may also contain the Postfix SMTP server private RSA key.
+With Postfix >= 3.4 the preferred way to configure server keys and
+certificates is via the "smtpd_tls_chain_files" parameter.
+.PP
+Public Internet MX hosts without certificates signed by a "reputable"
+CA must generate, and be prepared to present to most clients, a
+self\-signed or private\-CA signed certificate. The client will not be
+able to authenticate the server, but unless it is running Postfix 2.3 or
+similar software, it will still insist on a server certificate.
+.PP
+For servers that are \fBnot\fR public Internet MX hosts, Postfix
+supports configurations with no certificates. This entails the use of
+just the anonymous TLS ciphers, which are not supported by typical SMTP
+clients. Since some clients may not fall back to plain text after a TLS
+handshake failure, a certificate\-less Postfix SMTP server will be unable
+to receive email from some TLS\-enabled clients. To avoid accidental
+configurations with no certificates, Postfix enables certificate\-less
+operation only when the administrator explicitly sets
+"smtpd_tls_cert_file = none". This ensures that new Postfix SMTP server
+configurations will not accidentally enable TLS without certificates.
+.PP
+Note that server certificates are not optional in TLS 1.3. To run
+without certificates you'd have to disable the TLS 1.3 protocol by
+including '!TLSv1.3' in "smtpd_tls_protocols" and perhaps also
+"smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols".  It is simpler instead to just
+configure a certificate chain.  Certificate\-less operation is not
+recommended.
+.PP
+Both RSA and DSA certificates are supported.  When both types
+are present, the cipher used determines which certificate will be
+presented to the client.  For Netscape and OpenSSL clients without
+special cipher choices the RSA certificate is preferred.
+.PP
+To enable a remote SMTP client to verify the Postfix SMTP server
+certificate, the issuing CA certificates must be made available to the
+client. You should include the required certificates in the server
+certificate file, the server certificate first, then the issuing
+CA(s) (bottom\-up order).
+.PP
+Example: the certificate for "server.example.com" was issued by
+"intermediate CA" which itself has a certificate of "root CA".
+Create the server.pem file with "cat server_cert.pem intermediate_CA.pem
+root_CA.pem > server.pem".
+.PP
+If you also want to verify client certificates issued by these
+CAs, you can add the CA certificates to the smtpd_tls_CAfile, in which
+case it is not necessary to have them in the smtpd_tls_cert_file,
+smtpd_tls_dcert_file (obsolete) or smtpd_tls_eccert_file.
+.PP
+A certificate supplied here must be usable as an SSL server certificate
+and hence pass the "openssl verify \-purpose sslserver ..." test.
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/server.pem
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_chain_files (default: empty)
+List of one or more PEM files, each holding one or more private keys
+directly followed by a corresponding certificate chain.  The file names
+are separated by commas and/or whitespace.  This parameter obsoletes the
+legacy algorithm\-specific key and certificate file settings.  When this
+parameter is non\-empty, the legacy parameters are ignored, and a warning
+is logged if any are also non\-empty.
+.PP
+With the proliferation of multiple private key algorithms-which,
+as of OpenSSL 1.1.1, include DSA (obsolete), RSA, ECDSA, Ed25519
+and Ed448-it is increasingly impractical to use separate
+parameters to configure the key and certificate chain for each
+algorithm.  Therefore, Postfix now supports storing multiple keys and
+corresponding certificate chains in a single file or in a set of files.
+.PP
+Each key must appear \fBimmediately before\fR the corresponding
+certificate, optionally followed by additional issuer certificates that
+complete the certificate chain for that key.  When multiple files are
+specified, they are equivalent to a single file that is concatenated
+from those files in the given order.  Thus, while a key must always
+precede its certificate and issuer chain, it can be in a separate file,
+so long as that file is listed immediately before the file that holds
+the corresponding certificate chain.  Once all the files are
+concatenated, the sequence of PEM objects must be: \fIkey1, cert1,
+[chain1], key2, cert2, [chain2], ..., keyN, certN, [chainN].\fR
+.PP
+Storing the private key in the same file as the corresponding
+certificate is more reliable.  With the key and certificate in separate
+files, there is a chance that during key rollover a Postfix process
+might load a private key and certificate from separate files that don't
+match.  Various operational errors may even result in a persistent
+broken configuration in which the certificate does not match the private
+key.
+.PP
+The file or files must contain at most one key of each type.  If,
+for example, two or more RSA keys and corresponding chains are listed,
+depending on the version of OpenSSL either only the last one will be
+used or an configuration error may be detected.  Note that while
+"Ed25519" and "Ed448" are considered separate algorithms, the various
+ECDSA curves (typically one of prime256v1, secp384r1 or secp521r1) are
+considered as different parameters of a single "ECDSA" algorithm, so it
+is not presently possible to configure keys for more than one ECDSA
+curve.
+.PP
+RSA is still the most widely supported algorithm.  Presently (late
+2018), ECDSA support is common, but not yet universal, and Ed25519 and
+Ed448 support is mostly absent.  Therefore, an RSA key should generally
+be configured, along with any additional keys for the other algorithms
+when desired.

+.SH smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers (default: medium)
+The minimum TLS cipher grade that the Postfix SMTP server will
+use with mandatory TLS encryption. The default grade ("medium") is
+sufficiently strong that any benefit from globally restricting TLS
+sessions to a more stringent grade is likely negligible, especially
+given the fact that many implementations still do not offer any stronger
+("high" grade) ciphers, while those that do, will always use "high"
+grade ciphers. So insisting on "high" grade ciphers is generally
+counter\-productive. Allowing "export" or "low" ciphers is typically
+not a good idea, as systems limited to just these are limited to
+obsolete browsers. No known SMTP clients fail to support at least
+one "medium" or "high" grade cipher.
+.PP
+The following cipher grades are supported:
+.IP "\fBexport\fR"
+Enable "EXPORT" grade or stronger OpenSSL ciphers.  The
+underlying cipherlist is specified via the tls_export_cipherlist
+configuration parameter, which you are strongly encouraged to not
+change.  This choice is insecure and SHOULD NOT be used.
+.br
+.IP "\fBlow\fR"
+Enable "LOW" grade or stronger OpenSSL ciphers. The underlying
+cipherlist is specified via the tls_low_cipherlist configuration
+parameter, which you are strongly encouraged to not change.  This
+choice is insecure and SHOULD NOT be used.
+.br
+.IP "\fBmedium\fR"
+Enable "MEDIUM" grade or stronger OpenSSL ciphers. These use 128\-bit
+or longer symmetric bulk\-encryption keys. This is the default minimum
+strength for mandatory TLS encryption. The underlying cipherlist is
+specified via the tls_medium_cipherlist configuration parameter, which
+you are strongly encouraged to not change.
+.br
+.IP "\fBhigh\fR"
+Enable only "HIGH" grade OpenSSL ciphers. The
+underlying cipherlist is specified via the tls_high_cipherlist
+configuration parameter, which you are strongly encouraged to
+not change.
+.br
+.IP "\fBnull\fR"
+Enable only the "NULL" OpenSSL ciphers, these provide authentication
+without encryption.  This setting is only appropriate in the rare
+case that all clients are prepared to use NULL ciphers (not normally
+enabled in TLS clients). The underlying cipherlist is specified via the
+tls_null_cipherlist configuration parameter, which you are strongly
+encouraged to not change.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Cipher types listed in
+smtpd_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers or smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers are
+excluded from the base definition of the selected cipher grade. See
+smtpd_tls_ciphers for cipher controls that apply to opportunistic
+TLS.
+.PP
+The underlying cipherlists for grades other than "null" include
+anonymous ciphers, but these are automatically filtered out if the
+server is configured to ask for remote SMTP client certificates.  You are very
+unlikely to need to take any steps to exclude anonymous ciphers, they
+are excluded automatically as required.  If you must exclude anonymous
+ciphers even when Postfix does not need or use peer certificates, set
+"smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers = aNULL". To exclude anonymous ciphers only
+when TLS is enforced, set "smtpd_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers = aNULL".
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers (default: empty)
+Additional list of ciphers or cipher types to exclude from the
+Postfix SMTP server cipher list at mandatory TLS security levels.

+works in addition to the exclusions listed with smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers
+(see there for syntax details).

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols (default: !SSLv2, !SSLv3)
+The SSL/TLS protocols accepted by the Postfix SMTP server with
+mandatory TLS encryption. If the list is empty, the server supports
+all available SSL/TLS protocol versions.  A non\-empty value is a
+list of protocol names separated by whitespace, commas or colons.
+The supported protocol names are "SSLv2", "SSLv3" and "TLSv1", and
+are not case sensitive. The default value is "!SSLv2, !SSLv3" for
+Postfix releases after the middle of 2015, "!SSLv2" for older
+releases.
+.PP
+With Postfix >= 2.5 the parameter syntax was expanded to support
+protocol exclusions. One can explicitly exclude "SSLv2" by setting
+"smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2". To exclude both "SSLv2" and
+"SSLv3" set "smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3". Listing
+the protocols to include, rather than protocols to exclude, is
+supported, but not recommended. The exclusion form more closely
+matches the underlying OpenSSL interface semantics.
+.PP
+Note: As of OpenSSL 1.0.1 two new protocols are defined, "TLSv1.1"
+and "TLSv1.2". When Postfix <= 2.5 is linked against OpenSSL 1.0.1
+or later, these, or any other new protocol versions, cannot be
+disabled.  The latest patch levels of Postfix >= 2.6, and all
+versions of Postfix >= 2.10 can disable support for "TLSv1.1" or
+"TLSv1.2".
+.PP
+OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduces support for "TLSv1.3".  With Postfix

+Request that the Postfix SMTP server produces Received:  message
+headers that include information about the protocol and cipher used,
+as well as the remote SMTP client CommonName and client certificate issuer
+CommonName.  This is disabled by default, as the information may
+be modified in transit through other mail servers.  Only information

+.SH smtpd_tls_req_ccert (default: no)
+With mandatory TLS encryption, require a trusted remote SMTP client

+.SH smtpd_tls_security_level (default: empty)
+The SMTP TLS security level for the Postfix SMTP server; when

+smtpd_use_tls and smtpd_enforce_tls. This parameter is ignored with
+"smtpd_tls_wrappermode = yes".

+.br
+.IP "\fBmay\fR"
+Opportunistic TLS: announce STARTTLS support
+to remote SMTP clients, but do not require that clients use TLS encryption.
+.br
+.IP "\fBencrypt\fR"
+Mandatory TLS encryption: announce
+STARTTLS support to remote SMTP clients, and require that clients use TLS
+encryption. According to RFC 2487 this MUST NOT be applied in case
+of a publicly\-referenced SMTP server. Instead, this option should
+be used only on dedicated servers.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Note 1: the "fingerprint", "verify" and "secure" levels are not
+supported here.
+The Postfix SMTP server logs a warning and uses "encrypt" instead.
+To verify remote SMTP client certificates, see TLS_README for a discussion
+of the smtpd_tls_ask_ccert, smtpd_tls_req_ccert, and permit_tls_clientcerts
+features.
+.PP
+Note 2: The parameter setting "smtpd_tls_security_level =
+encrypt" implies "smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes".
+.PP
+Note 3: when invoked via "sendmail \-bs", Postfix will never
+offer STARTTLS due to insufficient privileges to access the server
+private key. This is intended behavior.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_session_cache_database (default: empty)
+Name of the file containing the optional Postfix SMTP server
+TLS session cache. Specify a database type that supports enumeration,
+such as \fBbtree\fR or \fBsdbm\fR; there is no need to support
+concurrent access.  The file is created if it does not exist. The \fBsmtpd\fR(8)
+daemon does not use this parameter directly, rather the cache is
+implemented indirectly in the \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) daemon. This means that
+per\-smtpd\-instance master.cf overrides of this parameter are not
+effective. Note, that each of the cache databases supported by \fBtlsmgr\fR(8)
+daemon: $smtpd_tls_session_cache_database, $smtp_tls_session_cache_database
+(and with Postfix 2.3 and later $lmtp_tls_session_cache_database), needs to be
+stored separately. It is not at this time possible to store multiple
+caches in a single database.
+.PP
+Note: \fBdbm\fR databases are not suitable. TLS
+session objects are too large.
+.PP
+As of version 2.5, Postfix no longer uses root privileges when
+opening this file. The file should now be stored under the Postfix\-owned
+data_directory. As a migration aid, an attempt to open the file
+under a non\-Postfix directory is redirected to the Postfix\-owned
+data_directory, and a warning is logged.
+.PP
+As of Postfix 2.11 the preferred mechanism for session resumption
+is RFC 5077 TLS session tickets, which don't require server\-side
+storage.  Consequently, for Postfix >= 2.11 this parameter should
+generally be left empty.  TLS session tickets require an OpenSSL
+library (at least version 0.9.8h) that provides full support for
+this TLS extension.  See also smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout.

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout (default: 3600s)
+The expiration time of Postfix SMTP server TLS session cache
+information. A cache cleanup is performed periodically
+every $smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout seconds. As with
+$smtpd_tls_session_cache_database, this parameter is implemented in the
+\fBtlsmgr\fR(8) daemon and therefore per\-smtpd\-instance master.cf overrides
+are not possible.
+.PP
+As of Postfix 2.11 this setting cannot exceed 100 days.  If set
+<= 0, session caching is disabled, not just via the database, but
+also via RFC 5077 TLS session tickets, which don't require server\-side
+storage.  If set to a positive value less than 2 minutes, the minimum
+value of 2 minutes is used instead.  TLS session tickets require
+an OpenSSL library (at least version 0.9.8h) that provides full
+support for this TLS extension.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later, and updated
+for TLS session ticket support in Postfix 2.11.
+.SH smtpd_tls_wrappermode (default: no)
+Run the Postfix SMTP server in the non\-standard "wrapper" mode,
+instead of using the STARTTLS command.
+.PP
+If you want to support this service, enable a special port in
+master.cf, and specify "\-o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes" on the SMTP
+server's command line. Port 465 (smtps) was once chosen for this
+purpose.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_upstream_proxy_protocol (default: empty)
+The name of the proxy protocol used by an optional before\-smtpd
+proxy agent. When a proxy agent is used, this protocol conveys local
+and remote address and port information.  Specify
+"smtpd_upstream_proxy_protocol = haproxy" to enable the haproxy
+protocol.
+.PP
+NOTE: To use the nginx proxy with \fBsmtpd\fR(8), enable the XCLIENT
+protocol with smtpd_authorized_xclient_hosts. This supports SASL
+authentication in the proxy agent (Postfix 2.9 and later).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.10 and later.
+.SH smtpd_upstream_proxy_timeout (default: 5s)
+The time limit for the proxy protocol specified with the
+smtpd_upstream_proxy_protocol parameter.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.10 and later.
+.SH smtpd_use_tls (default: no)
+Opportunistic TLS: announce STARTTLS support to remote SMTP clients,
+but do not require that clients use TLS encryption.
+.PP
+Note: when invoked via "\fBsendmail \-bs\fR", Postfix will never offer
+STARTTLS due to insufficient privileges to access the server private
+key. This is intended behavior.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later. With
+Postfix 2.3 and later use smtpd_tls_security_level instead.
+.SH smtputf8_autodetect_classes (default: sendmail, verify)
+Detect that a message requires SMTPUTF8 support for the specified
+mail origin classes.  This is a workaround to avoid chicken\-and\-egg
+problems during the initial SMTPUTF8 roll\-out in environments with
+pre\-existing mail flows that contain UTF8. Those mail flows should
+not break because Postfix suddenly refuses to deliver such mail
+to down\-stream MTAs that don't announce SMTPUTF8 support.
+.PP
+The problem is that Postfix cannot rely solely on the sender's
+declaration that a message requires SMTPUTF8 support, because UTF8
+may be introduced during local processing (for example, the client
+hostname in Postfix's Received: header, adding @$myorigin or
+\&.$mydomain to an incomplete address, address rewriting, alias
+expansion, automatic BCC recipients, local forwarding, and changes
+made by header checks or Milter applications).
+.PP
+For now, the default is to enable "SMTPUTF8 required" autodetection
+only for Postfix sendmail command\-line submissions and address
+verification probes.  This may change once SMTPUTF8 support achieves
+world domination.  However, sites that add UTF8 content via local
+processing (see above) should autodetect the need for SMTPUTF8
+support for all email.
+.PP
+Specify one or more of the following:
+.IP "\fB sendmail \fR"
+Submission with the Postfix
+\fBsendmail\fR(1) command.
+.br
+.IP "\fB smtpd \fR"
+Mail received with the \fBsmtpd\fR(8)
+daemon.
+.br
+.IP "\fB qmqpd \fR"
+Mail received with the \fBqmqpd\fR(8)
+daemon.
+.br
+.IP "\fB forward \fR"
+Local forwarding or aliasing.  When
+a message is received with "SMTPUTF8 required", then the forwarded
+(aliased) message always has "SMTPUTF8 required".
+.br
+.IP "\fB bounce \fR"
+Submission by the \fBbounce\fR(8) daemon.
+When a message is received with "SMTPUTF8 required", then the
+delivery status notification always has "SMTPUTF8 required".
+.br
+.IP "\fB notify \fR"
+Postmaster notification from the
+\fBsmtp\fR(8) or \fBsmtpd\fR(8) daemon.
+.br
+.IP "\fB verify \fR"
+Address verification probe from the
+\fBverify\fR(8) daemon.

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH smtputf8_enable (default: yes)
+Enable preliminary SMTPUTF8 support for the protocols described
+in RFC 6531..6533. This requires that Postfix is built to support
+these protocols.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH soft_bounce (default: no)
+Safety net to keep mail queued that would otherwise be returned to
+the sender.  This parameter disables locally\-generated bounces,
+changes the handling of negative responses from remote servers,
+content filters or plugins,
+and prevents the Postfix SMTP server from rejecting mail permanently
+by changing 5xx reply codes into 4xx.  However, soft_bounce is no
+cure for address rewriting mistakes or mail routing mistakes.
+.PP
+Note: "soft_bounce = yes" is in some cases implemented by modifying
+server responses. Therefore, the response that Postfix logs may
+differ from the response that Postfix actually sends or receives.

+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH stress (default: empty)
+This feature is documented in the STRESS_README document.

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH strict_7bit_headers (default: no)
+Reject mail with 8\-bit text in message headers. This blocks mail

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH strict_8bitmime_body (default: no)
+Reject 8\-bit message body text without 8\-bit MIME content encoding
+information.  This blocks mail from poorly written applications.
+.PP
+Unfortunately, this also rejects majordomo approval requests when
+the included request contains valid 8\-bit MIME mail, and it rejects
+bounces from mailers that do not MIME encapsulate 8\-bit content
+(for example, bounces from qmail or from old versions of Postfix).
+.PP
+This feature should not be enabled on a general purpose mail server,
+because it is likely to reject legitimate email.

+Defer delivery when a mailbox file is not owned by its recipient.
+The default setting is not backwards compatible.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5.3 and later.
+.SH strict_mime_encoding_domain (default: no)
+Reject mail with invalid Content\-Transfer\-Encoding: information
+for the message/* or multipart/* MIME content types.  This blocks
+mail from poorly written software.
+.PP
+This feature should not be enabled on a general purpose mail server,
+because it will reject mail after a single violation.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH strict_rfc821_envelopes (default: no)
+Require that addresses received in SMTP MAIL FROM and RCPT TO
+commands are enclosed with <>, and that those addresses do
+not contain RFC 822 style comments or phrases.  This stops mail
+from poorly written software.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP server accepts RFC 822 syntax in MAIL
+FROM and RCPT TO addresses.
+.SH strict_smtputf8 (default: no)
+Enable stricter enforcement of the SMTPUTF8 protocol. The Postfix
+SMTP server accepts UTF8 sender or recipient addresses only when
+the client requests an SMTPUTF8 mail transaction.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH sun_mailtool_compatibility (default: no)
+Obsolete SUN mailtool compatibility feature. Instead, use
+"mailbox_delivery_lock = dotlock".
+.SH swap_bangpath (default: yes)
+Enable the rewriting of "site!user" into "user@site".  This is
+necessary if your machine is connected to UUCP networks.  It is
+enabled by default.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix version 2.2, message header address rewriting

+.SH syslog_name (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+A prefix that is prepended to the process name in syslog
+records, so that, for example, "smtpd" becomes "prefix/smtpd".
+.PP
+Warning: a non\-default syslog_name setting takes effect only after
+a Postfix process has completed initialization. Errors during

+are errors while parsing the command line arguments, and errors
+while accessing the Postfix main.cf configuration file.
+.SH tcp_windowsize (default: 0)
+An optional workaround for routers that break TCP window scaling.
+Specify a value > 0 and < 65536 to enable this feature.  With
+Postfix TCP servers (\fBsmtpd\fR(8), \fBqmqpd\fR(8)), this feature is implemented
+by the Postfix \fBmaster\fR(8) daemon.

+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+# postconf \-e master_service_disable=inet
+# postfix reload
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later.
+.SH tls_append_default_CA (default: no)
+Append the system\-supplied default Certification Authority
+certificates to the ones specified with *_tls_CApath or *_tls_CAfile.
+The default is "no"; this prevents Postfix from trusting third\-party
+certificates and giving them relay permission with
+permit_tls_all_clientcerts.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.4.15, 2.5.11, 2.6.8,
+2.7.2 and later versions. Specify "tls_append_default_CA = yes" for
+backwards compatibility, to avoid breaking certificate verification
+with sites that don't use permit_tls_all_clientcerts.
+.SH tls_daemon_random_bytes (default: 32)
+The number of pseudo\-random bytes that an \fBsmtp\fR(8) or \fBsmtpd\fR(8)
+process requests from the \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) server in order to seed its
+internal pseudo random number generator (PRNG).  The default of 32

+.SH tls_dane_digests (default: sha512 sha256)
+DANE TLSA (RFC 6698, RFC 7671, RFC 7672) resource\-record "matching
+type" digest algorithms in descending preference order.  All the
+specified algorithms must be supported by the underlying OpenSSL
+library, otherwise the Postfix SMTP client will not support DANE
+TLSA security.
+.PP
+Specify a list of digest names separated by commas and/or
+whitespace.  Each digest name may be followed by an optional
+"=<number>" suffix.  For example, "sha512" may instead be specified
+as "sha512=2" and "sha256" may instead be specified as "sha256=1".
+The optional number must match the <a
+href="https://www.iana.org/assignments/dane\-parameters/dane\-parameters.xhtml#matching\-types"
+>IANA assigned TLSA matching type number the algorithm in question.
+Postfix will check this constraint for the algorithms it knows about.
+Additional matching type algorithms registered with IANA can be added
+with explicit numbers provided they are supported by OpenSSL.
+.PP
+Invalid list elements are logged with a warning and disable DANE
+support.  TLSA RRs that specify digests not included in the list are
+ignored with a warning.
+.PP
+Note: It is unwise to omit sha256 from the digest list.  This
+digest algorithm is the only mandatory to implement digest algorithm
+in RFC 6698, and many servers are expected publish TLSA records
+with just sha256 digests.  Unless one of the standard digests is
+seriously compromised and servers have had ample time to update their
+TLSA records you should not omit any standard digests, just arrange
+them in order from strongest to weakest.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.SH tls_dane_trust_anchor_digest_enable (default: yes)
+Enable support for RFC 6698 (DANE TLSA) DNS records that contain
+digests of trust\-anchors with certificate usage "2".  Do not change
+this setting from its default value.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 through 3.1.  It has
+been withdrawn in Postfix 3.2, as trust\-anchor TLSA records are now
+widely used and have proved sufficiently reliable.  Postfix 3.2 and
+later ignore this configuration parameter and behaves as though it
+were set to "yes".
+.SH tls_disable_workarounds (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+List or bit\-mask of OpenSSL bug work\-arounds to disable.
+.PP
+The OpenSSL toolkit includes a set of work\-arounds for buggy SSL/TLS
+implementations. Applications, such as Postfix, that want to maximize
+interoperability ask the OpenSSL library to enable the full set of
+recommended work\-arounds.
+.PP
+From time to time, it is discovered that a work\-around creates a
+security issue, and should no longer be used. If upgrading OpenSSL
+to a fixed version is not an option or an upgrade is not available
+in a timely manner, or in closed environments where no buggy clients
+or servers exist, it may be appropriate to disable some or all of the
+OpenSSL interoperability work\-arounds. This parameter specifies which
+bug work\-arounds to disable.
+.PP
+If the value of the parameter is a hexadecimal long integer starting
+with "0x", the bug work\-arounds corresponding to the bits specified in
+its value are removed from the \fBSSL_OP_ALL\fR work\-around bit\-mask
+(see openssl/ssl.h and SSL_CTX_\fBset_options\fR(3)). You can specify more
+bits than are present in SSL_OP_ALL, excess bits are ignored. Specifying
+0xFFFFFFFF disables all bug\-workarounds on a 32\-bit system. This should
+also be sufficient on 64\-bit systems, until OpenSSL abandons support
+for 32\-bit systems and starts using the high 32 bits of a 64\-bit
+bug\-workaround mask.
+.PP
+Otherwise, the parameter is a white\-space or comma separated list
+of specific named bug work\-arounds chosen from the list below. It
+is possible that your OpenSSL version includes new bug work\-arounds
+added after your Postfix source code was last updated, in that case
+you can only disable one of these via the hexadecimal syntax above.

+.SH tls_eecdh_auto_curves (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The prioritized list of elliptic curves supported by the Postfix
+SMTP client and server.  These curves are used by the Postfix SMTP
+server when "smtpd_tls_eecdh_grade = auto".  The selected curves
+must be implemented by OpenSSL and be standardized for use in TLS
+(RFC 4492 or its imminent successor).  It is unwise to list only
+"bleeding\-edge" curves supported by a small subset of clients.  The
+default list is suitable for most users.
+.PP
+Postfix skips curve names that are unknown to OpenSSL, or that
+are known but not yet implemented.  This makes it possible to
+"anticipate" support for curves that should be used once they become
+available.  In particular, in some OpenSSL versions, the new RFC
+8031 curves "X25519" and "X448" may be known by name, but ECDH
+support for either or both may be missing.  These curves may appear
+in the default value of this parameter, even though they'll only
+be usable with later versions of OpenSSL.

+.SH tls_eecdh_strong_curve (default: prime256v1)
+The elliptic curve used by the Postfix SMTP server for sensibly
+strong
+ephemeral ECDH key exchange. This curve is used by the Postfix SMTP
+server when "smtpd_tls_eecdh_grade = strong". The phrase "sensibly
+strong" means approximately 128\-bit security based on best known
+attacks. The selected curve must be implemented by OpenSSL (as
+reported by \fBecparam\fR(1) with the "\-list_curves" option) and be one
+of the curves listed in Section 5.1.1 of RFC 4492. You should not
+generally change this setting.  Remote SMTP client implementations
+must support this curve for EECDH key exchange to take place.  It
+is unwise to choose an "bleeding\-edge" curve supported by only a
+small subset of clients.
+.PP
+The default "strong" curve is rated in NSA Suite
+B for information classified up to SECRET.
+.PP
+Note: elliptic curve names are poorly standardized; different
+standards groups are assigning different names to the same underlying
+curves.  The curve with the X9.62 name "prime256v1" is also known
+under the SECG name "secp256r1", but OpenSSL does not recognize the
+latter name.

+.SH tls_eecdh_ultra_curve (default: secp384r1)
+The elliptic curve used by the Postfix SMTP server for maximally
+strong
+ephemeral ECDH key exchange. This curve is used by the Postfix SMTP
+server when "smtpd_tls_eecdh_grade = ultra". The phrase "maximally
+strong" means approximately 192\-bit security based on best known attacks.
+This additional strength comes at a significant computational cost, most
+users should instead set "smtpd_tls_eecdh_grade = strong".  The selected
+curve must be implemented by OpenSSL (as reported by \fBecparam\fR(1) with the
+"\-list_curves" option) and be one of the curves listed in Section 5.1.1
+of RFC 4492. You should not generally change this setting.

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH tls_fast_shutdown_enable (default: yes)
+A workaround for implementations that hang Postfix while shuting
+down a TLS session, until Postfix times out. With this enabled,
+Postfix will not wait for the remote TLS peer to respond to a TLS
+'close' notification. This behavior is recommended for TLSv1.0 and
+later.
+.PP
+This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.4.6, 3.3.5, 3.2.10,
+and 3.1.13.
+.SH tls_high_cipherlist (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The OpenSSL cipherlist for "high" grade ciphers. This defines

+smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers, smtp_tls_ciphers, smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers,
+lmtp_tls_ciphers, and lmtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers.  This is the

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH tls_null_cipherlist (default: eNULL:!aNULL)
+The OpenSSL cipherlist for "NULL" grade ciphers that provide
+authentication without encryption. This defines the meaning of the "null"
+setting in smtpd_mandatory_tls_ciphers, smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers and
+lmtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers.  You are strongly encouraged to not
+change this setting.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH tls_preempt_cipherlist (default: no)
+With SSLv3 and later, use the Postfix SMTP server's cipher
+preference order instead of the remote client's cipher preference
+order.
+.PP
+By default, the OpenSSL server selects the client's most preferred
+cipher that the server supports. With SSLv3 and later, the server may
+choose its own most preferred cipher that is supported (offered) by
+the client. Setting "tls_preempt_cipherlist = yes" enables server cipher
+preferences.
+.PP
+While server cipher selection may in some cases lead to a more secure
+or performant cipher choice, there is some risk of interoperability
+issues. In the past, some SSL clients have listed lower priority ciphers
+that they did not implement correctly. If the server chooses a cipher
+that the client prefers less, it may select a cipher whose client
+implementation is flawed. Most notably Windows 2003 Microsoft
+Exchange servers have flawed implementations of DES\-CBC3\-SHA, which
+OpenSSL considers stronger than RC4\-SHA.  Enabling server cipher\-suite
+selection may create interoperability issues with Windows 2003
+Microsoft Exchange clients.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.8 and later, in combination
+with OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later.
+.SH tls_random_bytes (default: 32)
+The number of bytes that \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) reads from $tls_random_source
+when (re)seeding the in\-memory pseudo random number generator (PRNG)
+pool. The default of 32 bytes (256 bits) is good enough for 128bit
+symmetric keys.  If using EGD or a device file, a maximum of 255
+bytes is read.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_random_exchange_name (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+Name of the pseudo random number generator (PRNG) state file
+that is maintained by \fBtlsmgr\fR(8). The file is created when it does
+not exist, and its length is fixed at 1024 bytes.
+.PP
+As of version 2.5, Postfix no longer uses root privileges when
+opening this file, and the default file location was changed from
+${config_directory}/prng_exch to ${data_directory}/prng_exch.  As
+a migration aid, an attempt to open the file under a non\-Postfix
+directory is redirected to the Postfix\-owned data_directory, and a
+warning is logged.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_random_prng_update_period (default: 3600s)
+The time between attempts by \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) to save the state of
+the pseudo random number generator (PRNG) to the file specified
+with $tls_random_exchange_name.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_random_reseed_period (default: 3600s)
+The maximal time between attempts by \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) to re\-seed the
+in\-memory pseudo random number generator (PRNG) pool from external
+sources.  The actual time between re\-seeding attempts is calculated
+using the PRNG, and is between 0 and the time specified.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_random_source (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The external entropy source for the in\-memory \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) pseudo
+random number generator (PRNG) pool. Be sure to specify a non\-blocking
+source.  If this source is not a regular file, the entropy source
+type must be prepended:  egd:/path/to/egd_socket for a source with
+EGD compatible socket interface, or dev:/path/to/device for a
+device file.
+.PP
+Note: on OpenBSD systems specify /dev/arandom when /dev/urandom
+gives timeout errors.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_server_sni_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables that map names received from remote SMTP
+clients via the TLS Server Name Indication (SNI) extension to the
+appropriate keys and certificate chains.  This parameter is implemented
+in the Postfix TLS library, and applies to both \fBsmtpd\fR(8) and the SMTP
+server mode of \fBtlsproxy\fR(8).
+.PP
+The lookup key is either the verbatim SNI domain name or an
+ancestor domain prefixed with a leading dot.  For internationalized
+domains, the lookup key must be in IDNA 2008 A\-label form (as
+required in the TLS SNI extension).
+.PP
+When this parameter is non\-empty, the Postfix SMTP server enables
+SNI extension processing, and logs SNI values that are invalid or
+don't match an entry in the the specified tables.  When an entry
+does match, the SNI name is logged as part of the connection summary
+at log levels 1 and higher.
+.PP
+Note that the SNI lookup tables should also have entries for
+the domains that correspond to the Postfix SMTP server's default
+certificate(s). This ensures that the remote SMTP client's TLS SNI
+extension gets a positive response when it specifies one of the
+Postfix SMTP server's default domains, and ensures that the Postfix
+SMTP server will not log an SNI name mismatch for such a domain.
+The Postfix SMTP server's default certificates are then only used
+when the client sends no SNI or when it sends SNI with a domain
+that the server knows no certificate(s) for.
+.PP
+The mapping from an SNI domain name to a certificate chain is
+typically indirect.  In the input source files for "cdb", "hash",
+"btree" or other tables that are converted to on\-disk indexed files
+via \fBpostmap\fR(1), the value specified for each key is a list of
+filenames.  When \fBpostmap\fR(1) is used with the \fB\-F\fR option, the
+generated table stores for each lookup key the base64\-encoded
+contents of the associated files.  When querying tables via \fBpostmap
+\-Fq\fR, the table value is decoded from base64, yielding the original
+file content, plus a new line.
+.PP
+With "regexp", "pcre", "inline", "texthash", "static" and similar
+tables that are interpreted at run\-time, and don't have a separate
+source format, the table value is again a list files, that are read\-in
+when the table is opened.
+.PP
+Thus, for example:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+$ postmap \-Fq "" static:/etc/postfix/chain.pem | openssl dgst \-sha1
+(stdin)= da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+produces the same output as:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+$ (cat /etc/postfix/chain.pem; echo) | openssl dgst \-sha1
+(stdin)= da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+With tables whose content is managed outside of Postfix, such
+as LDAP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, socketmap and tcp, the value must be a
+concatenation of the desired PEM keys and certificate chains, that
+is then further encoded to yield a single\-line base64 string.
+Creation of such tables and secure storage are outside the
+responsibility of Postfix.  With "socketmap" and "tcp" the data
+would be transmitted in the clear.  With LDAP and SQL, you should
+generally use TLS to protect the sensitive data in transit.
+.PP
+Typically there is only private key and its chain of certificates
+starting with the "leaf" certificate corresponding to that key, and
+continuing with the appropriate intermediate issuer CA certificates,
+with each certificate ideally followed by its issuer.  Servers
+that have keys and certificates for more than one algorithm (e.g.
+both an RSA key and an ECDSA key, or even RSA, ECDSA and Ed25519)
+can use multiple chains concatenated together, with the key always
+listed before the corresponding certificates.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.4 and later.
+.SH tls_session_ticket_cipher (default: Postfix >= 3.0: aes\-256\-cbc, Postfix < 3.0: aes\-128\-cbc)
+Algorithm used to encrypt RFC5077 TLS session tickets.  This
+algorithm must use CBC mode, have a 128\-bit block size, and must
+have a key length between 128 and 256 bits.  The default is
+aes\-256\-cbc.  Overriding the default to choose a different algorithm
+is discouraged.
+.PP
+Setting this parameter empty disables session ticket support
+in the Postfix SMTP server.  Another way to disable session ticket
+support is via the tls_ssl_options parameter.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH tls_ssl_options (default: empty)
+List or bit\-mask of OpenSSL options to enable.
+.PP
+The OpenSSL toolkit provides a set of options that applications
+can enable to tune the OpenSSL behavior.  Some of these work around
+bugs in other implementations and are on by default.  You can use
+the tls_disable_workarounds parameter to selectively disable some
+or all of the bug work\-arounds, making OpenSSL more strict at the
+cost of non\-interoperability with SSL clients or servers that exhibit
+the bugs.
+.PP
+Other options are off by default, and typically enable or disable
+features rather than bug work\-arounds.  These may be turned on (with
+care) via the tls_ssl_options parameter.  The value is a white\-space
+or comma separated list of named options chosen from the list below.
+The names are not case\-sensitive, you can use lower\-case if you
+prefer.  The upper case values below match the corresponding macro
+name in the ssl.h header file with the SSL_OP_ prefix removed.  It
+is possible that your OpenSSL version includes new options added
+after your Postfix source code was last updated, in that case you
+can only enable one of these via the hexadecimal syntax below.
+.PP
+You should only enable features via the hexadecimal mask when
+the need to control the feature is critical (to deal with a new
+vulnerability or a serious interoperability problem).  Postfix DOES
+NOT promise backwards compatible behavior with respect to the mask
+bits.  A feature enabled via the mask in one release may be enabled
+by other means in a later release, and the mask bit will then be
+ignored.  Therefore, use of the hexadecimal mask is only a temporary
+measure until a new Postfix or OpenSSL release provides a better
+solution.
+.PP
+If the value of the parameter is a hexadecimal long integer
+starting with "0x", the options corresponding to the bits specified
+in its value are enabled (see openssl/ssl.h and SSL_CTX_\fBset_options\fR(3)).
+You can only enable options not already controlled by other Postfix
+settings.  For example, you cannot disable protocols or enable
+server cipher preference.  Do not attempt to turn all features by
+specifying 0xFFFFFFFF, this is unlikely to be a good idea.  Some
+bug work\-arounds are also valid here, allowing them to be re\-enabled
+if/when they're no longer enabled by default.  The supported values

+.SH tls_wildcard_matches_multiple_labels (default: yes)
+Match multiple DNS labels with "*" in wildcard certificates.
+.PP
+Some mail service providers prepend the customer domain name
+to a base domain for which they have a wildcard TLS certificate.

+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+and the TLS certificate may be for "*.example.net". The "*"
+then corresponds with multiple labels in the mail server domain
+name.  While multi\-label wildcards are not widely supported, and
+are not blessed by any standard, there is little to be gained by
+disallowing their use in this context.

+A transport\-specific override for the default_recipient_refill_limit
+parameter value, where \fItransport\fR is the master.cf name of
+the message delivery transport.
+.PP
+Note: \fItransport\fR_recipient_refill_limit parameters will
+not show up in "postconf" command output before Postfix version

+A transport\-specific override for the default_transport_rate_delay
+parameter value, where the initial \fItransport\fR in the parameter
+name is the master.cf name of the message delivery transport.
+.SH trigger_timeout (default: 10s)
+The time limit for sending a trigger to a Postfix daemon (for

+reject_unknown_sender_domain and reject_unknown_recipient_domain.
+.PP
+Do not change this unless you have a complete understanding of RFC 5321.
+.SH unknown_address_tempfail_action (default: $reject_tempfail_action)
+The Postfix SMTP server's action when reject_unknown_sender_domain

+.PP
+Do not change this unless you have a complete understanding of RFC 5321.
+.SH unknown_local_recipient_reject_code (default: 550)
+The numerical Postfix SMTP server response code when a recipient
+address is local, and $local_recipient_maps specifies a list of
+lookup tables that does not match the recipient.  A recipient
+address is local when its domain matches $mydestination,
+$proxy_interfaces or $inet_interfaces.
+.PP
+The default setting is 550 (reject mail) but it is safer to initially
+use 450 (try again later) so you have time to find out if your

+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH virtual_alias_domains (default: $virtual_alias_maps)
+Postfix is final destination for the specified list of virtual
+alias domains, that is, domains for which all addresses are aliased
+to addresses in other local or remote domains. The SMTP server
+validates recipient addresses with $virtual_alias_maps and rejects
+non\-existent recipients. See also the virtual alias domain class
+in the ADDRESS_CLASS_README file
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later. The default
+value is backwards compatible with Postfix version 1.1.
+.PP
+The default value is $virtual_alias_maps so that you can keep all
+information about virtual alias domains in one place.  If you have
+many users, it is better to separate information that changes more
+frequently (virtual address \-> local or remote address mapping)
+from information that changes less frequently (the list of virtual
+domain names).
+.PP
+Specify a list of host or domain names, "/file/name" or
+"type:table" patterns, separated by commas and/or whitespace. A
+"/file/name" pattern is replaced by its contents; a "type:table"
+lookup table is matched when a table entry matches a lookup string
+(the lookup result is ignored).  Continue long lines by starting
+the next line with whitespace. Specify "!pattern" to exclude a host
+or domain name from the list. The form "!/file/name" is supported
+only in Postfix version 2.4 and later.
+.PP
+See also the VIRTUAL_README and ADDRESS_CLASS_README documents

+The maximal number of addresses that virtual alias expansion produces
+from each original recipient.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH virtual_alias_maps (default: $virtual_maps)
+Optional lookup tables that alias specific mail addresses or domains
+to other local or remote address.  The table format and lookups
+are documented in \fBvirtual\fR(5). For an overview of Postfix address
+manipulations see the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later. The default
+value is backwards compatible with Postfix version 1.1.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+Note: these lookups are recursive.
+.PP
+If you use this feature with indexed files, run "\fBpostmap
+/etc/postfix/virtual\fR" after changing the file.

+virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH virtual_alias_recursion_limit (default: 1000)
+The maximal nesting depth of virtual alias expansion.  Currently
+the recursion limit is applied only to the left branch of the
+expansion graph, so the depth of the tree can in the worst case
+reach the sum of the expansion and recursion limits.  This may
+change in the future.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH virtual_delivery_status_filter (default: $default_delivery_status_filter)
+Optional filter for the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent to change the
+delivery status code or explanatory text of successful or unsuccessful
+deliveries.  See default_delivery_status_filter for details.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH virtual_destination_concurrency_limit (default: $default_destination_concurrency_limit)
+The maximal number of parallel deliveries to the same destination
+via the virtual message delivery transport. This limit is enforced
+by the queue manager. The message delivery transport name is the
+first field in the entry in the master.cf file.
+.SH virtual_destination_recipient_limit (default: $default_destination_recipient_limit)
+The maximal number of recipients per message for the virtual
+message delivery transport. This limit is enforced by the queue
+manager. The message delivery transport name is the first field in
+the entry in the master.cf file.
+.PP
+Setting this parameter to a value of 1 changes the meaning of
+virtual_destination_concurrency_limit from concurrency per domain
+into concurrency per recipient.
+.SH virtual_gid_maps (default: empty)
+Lookup tables with the per\-recipient group ID for \fBvirtual\fR(8) mailbox
+delivery.
+.PP
+This parameter is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.
+It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different mail
+delivery program.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+In a lookup table, specify a left\-hand side of "@domain.tld" to
+match any user in the specified domain that does not have a specific
+"user@domain.tld" entry.
+.PP
+When a recipient address has an optional address extension
+(user+foo@domain.tld), the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent looks up
+the full address first, and when the lookup fails, it looks up the
+unextended address (user@domain.tld).
+.PP
+Note 1: for security reasons, the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent disallows
+regular expression substitution of $1 etc. in regular expression
+lookup tables, because that would open a security hole.
+.PP
+Note 2: for security reasons, the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent will
+silently ignore requests to use the \fBproxymap\fR(8) server. Instead
+it will open the table directly. Before Postfix version 2.2, the
+\fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent will terminate with a fatal error.
+.SH virtual_mailbox_base (default: empty)
+A prefix that the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent prepends to all pathname
+results from $virtual_mailbox_maps table lookups.  This is a safety
+measure to ensure that an out of control map doesn't litter the
+file system with mailboxes.  While virtual_mailbox_base could be
+set to "/", this setting isn't recommended.
+.PP
+This parameter is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.
+It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different mail
+delivery program.

+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH virtual_mailbox_domains (default: $virtual_mailbox_maps)
+Postfix is final destination for the specified list of domains;
+mail is delivered via the $virtual_transport mail delivery transport.
+By default this is the Postfix \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.  The SMTP
+server validates recipient addresses with $virtual_mailbox_maps
+and rejects mail for non\-existent recipients.  See also the virtual
+mailbox domain class in the ADDRESS_CLASS_README file.
+.PP
+This parameter expects the same syntax as the mydestination
+configuration parameter.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later. The default
+value is backwards compatible with Postfix version 1.1.
+.SH virtual_mailbox_limit (default: 51200000)
+The maximal size in bytes of an individual \fBvirtual\fR(8) mailbox or
+maildir file, or zero (no limit).
+.PP
+This parameter is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.
+It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different mail
+delivery program.
+.SH virtual_mailbox_lock (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+How to lock a UNIX\-style \fBvirtual\fR(8) mailbox before attempting
+delivery.  For a list of available file locking methods, use the
+"\fBpostconf \-l\fR" command.
+.PP
+This parameter is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.
+It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different mail
+delivery program.
+.PP
+This setting is ignored with \fBmaildir\fR style delivery, because
+such deliveries are safe without application\-level locks.
+.PP
+Note 1: the \fBdotlock\fR method requires that the recipient UID
+or GID has write access to the parent directory of the recipient's
+mailbox file.
+.PP
+Note 2: the default setting of this parameter is system dependent.
+.SH virtual_mailbox_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables with all valid addresses in the domains that
+match $virtual_mailbox_domains.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+In a lookup table, specify a left\-hand side of "@domain.tld" to
+match any user in the specified domain that does not have a specific
+"user@domain.tld" entry.
+.PP
+The remainder of this text is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery
+agent.  It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different
+mail delivery program.
+.PP
+The \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent uses this table to look up the
+per\-recipient mailbox or maildir pathname.  If the lookup result
+ends in a slash ("/"), maildir\-style delivery is carried out,
+otherwise the path is assumed to specify a UNIX\-style mailbox file.
+Note that $virtual_mailbox_base is unconditionally prepended to
+this path.
+.PP
+When a recipient address has an optional address extension
+(user+foo@domain.tld), the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent looks up
+the full address first, and when the lookup fails, it looks up the

+.SH virtual_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables with a) names of domains for which all
+addresses are aliased to addresses in other local or remote domains,
+and b) addresses that are aliased to addresses in other local or
+remote domains.  Available before Postfix version 2.0. With Postfix
+version 2.0 and later, this is replaced by separate controls: virtual_alias_domains
+and virtual_alias_maps.
+.SH virtual_minimum_uid (default: 100)
+The minimum user ID value that the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent accepts
+as a result from $virtual_uid_maps table lookup.  Returned
+values less than this will be rejected, and the message will be
+deferred.
+.PP
+This parameter is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.
+It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different mail
+delivery program.
+.SH virtual_transport (default: virtual)
+The default mail delivery transport and next\-hop destination for
+final delivery to domains listed with $virtual_mailbox_domains.
+This information can be overruled with the \fBtransport\fR(5) table.
+.PP
+Specify a string of the form \fItransport:nexthop\fR, where \fItransport\fR
+is the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf.
+The \fI:nexthop\fR destination is optional; its syntax is documented
+in the manual page of the corresponding delivery agent.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
