For this mode of operation, the program +expects to be run from the \fBmaster\fR(8) process manager. + +Alternatively, the SMTP server be can run in stand\-alone +mode; this is traditionally obtained with "\fBsendmail +\-bs\fR". When the SMTP server runs stand\-alone with non +$\fBmail_owner\fR privileges, it receives mail even while +the mail system is not running, deposits messages directly +into the \fBmaildrop\fR queue, and disables the SMTP server's +access policies. As of Postfix version 2.3, the SMTP server +refuses to receive mail from the network when it runs with +non $\fBmail_owner\fR privileges. + +The SMTP server implements a variety of policies for connection +requests, and for parameters given to \fBHELO, ETRN, MAIL FROM, VRFY\fR +and \fBRCPT TO\fR commands. They are detailed below and in the +\fBmain.cf\fR configuration file. +.SH "SECURITY" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +The SMTP server is moderately security\-sensitive.
