+.SH NAME

+canonicalize and enqueue Postfix message
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.na
+.nf
+\fBcleanup\fR [generic Postfix daemon options]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The \fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon processes inbound mail, inserts it
+into the \fBincoming\fR mail queue, and informs the queue
+manager of its arrival.
+
+The \fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon always performs the following transformations:
+.IP \(bu
+Insert missing message headers: (\fBResent\-\fR) \fBFrom:\fR,
+\fBTo:\fR, \fBMessage\-Id:\fR, and \fBDate:\fR.
+.IP \(bu
+Transform envelope and header addresses to the standard
+\fIuser@fully\-qualified\-domain\fR form that is expected by other
+Postfix programs.
+This task is delegated to the \fBtrivial\-rewrite\fR(8) daemon.
+.IP \(bu
+Eliminate duplicate envelope recipient addresses.
+.IP \(bu
+Remove message headers: \fBBcc\fR, \fBContent\-Length\fR,
+\fBResent\-Bcc\fR, \fBReturn\-Path\fR.
+.PP
+The following address transformations are optional:
+.IP \(bu
+Optionally, rewrite all envelope and header addresses according
+to the mappings specified in the \fBcanonical\fR(5) lookup tables.
+.IP \(bu
+Optionally, masquerade envelope sender addresses and message
+header addresses (i.e. strip host or domain information below
+all domains listed in the \fBmasquerade_domains\fR parameter,
+except for user names listed in \fBmasquerade_exceptions\fR).
+By default, address masquerading does not affect envelope recipients.
+.IP \(bu
+Optionally, expand envelope recipients according to information
+found in the \fBvirtual\fR(5) lookup tables.
+.PP
+The \fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon performs sanity checks on the content of
+each message. When it finds a problem, by default it returns a
+diagnostic status to the client, and leaves it up to the client
+to deal with the problem. Alternatively, the client can request
+the \fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon to bounce the message back to the sender
+in case of trouble.
