It processes message delivery requests from +the queue manager. Each request specifies a queue file, a sender +address, a domain or host to deliver to, and recipient information. +This program expects to be run from the \fBmaster\fR(8) process +manager. + +The SMTP+LMTP client updates the queue file and marks recipients +as finished, or it informs the queue manager that delivery should +be tried again at a later time. Delivery status reports are sent +to the \fBbounce\fR(8), \fBdefer\fR(8) or \fBtrace\fR(8) daemon as +appropriate. + +The SMTP+LMTP client looks up a list of mail exchanger addresses for +the destination host, sorts the list by preference, and connects +to each listed address until it finds a server that responds. + +When a server is not reachable, or when mail delivery fails due +to a recoverable error condition, the SMTP+LMTP client will try to +deliver the mail to an alternate host. + +After a successful mail transaction, a connection may be saved +to the \fBscache\fR(8) connection cache server, so that it +may be used by any SMTP+LMTP client for a subsequent transaction. + +By default, connection caching is enabled temporarily for +destinations that have a high volume of mail in the active +queue. Connection caching can be enabled permanently for +specific destinations. +.SH "SMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +SMTP destinations have the following form: +.IP \fIdomainname\fR +.IP \fIdomainname\fR:\fIport\fR +Look up the mail exchangers for the specified domain, and +connect to the specified port (default: \fBsmtp\fR). +.IP [\fIhostname\fR] +.IP [\fIhostname\fR]:\fIport\fR +Look up the address(es) of the specified host, and connect to +the specified port (default: \fBsmtp\fR). +.IP [\fIaddress\fR] +.IP [\fIaddress\fR]:\fIport\fR +Connect to the host at the specified address, and connect +to the specified port (default: \fBsmtp\fR). An IPv6 address +must be formatted as [\fBipv6\fR:\fIaddress\fR]. +.SH "LMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +LMTP destinations have the following form: +.IP \fBunix\fR:\fIpathname\fR +Connect to the local UNIX\-domain server that is bound to the specified +\fIpathname\fR. If the process runs chrooted, an absolute pathname +is interpreted relative to the Postfix queue directory. +.IP \fBinet\fR:\fIhostname\fR +.IP \fBinet\fR:\fIhostname\fR:\fIport\fR +.IP \fBinet\fR:[\fIaddress\fR] +.IP \fBinet\fR:[\fIaddress\fR]:\fIport\fR +Connect to the specified TCP port on the specified local or +remote host. If no port is specified, connect to the port defined as +\fBlmtp\fR in \fBservices\fR(4). +If no such service is found, the \fBlmtp_tcp_port\fR configuration +parameter (default value of 24) will be used. +An IPv6 address must be formatted as [\fBipv6\fR:\fIaddress\fR]. +.PP +.SH "SECURITY" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +The SMTP+LMTP client is moderately security\-sensitive. It +talks to SMTP or LMTP servers and to DNS servers on the +network. The SMTP+LMTP client can be run chrooted at fixed +low privilege. +.SH "STANDARDS" +.na +.nf +RFC 821 (SMTP protocol) +RFC 822 (ARPA Internet Text Messages) +RFC 1651 (SMTP service extensions) +RFC 1652 (8bit\-MIME transport) +RFC 1870 (Message Size Declaration) +RFC 2033 (LMTP protocol) +RFC 2034 (SMTP Enhanced Error Codes) +RFC 2045 (MIME: Format of Internet Message Bodies) +RFC 2046 (MIME: Media Types) +RFC 2554 (AUTH command) +RFC 2821 (SMTP protocol) +RFC 2920 (SMTP Pipelining) +RFC 3207 (STARTTLS command) +RFC 3461 (SMTP DSN Extension) +RFC 3463 (Enhanced Status Codes) +RFC 4954 (AUTH command) +RFC 5321 (SMTP protocol) +RFC 6531 (Internationalized SMTP) +RFC 6533 (Internationalized Delivery Status Notifications) +RFC 7672 (SMTP security via opportunistic DANE TLS) +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +.ad +.fi +Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8) +or \fBpostlogd\fR(8). +Corrupted message files are marked so that the queue manager can +move them to the \fBcorrupt\fR queue for further inspection. + +Depending on the setting of the \fBnotify_classes\fR parameter, +the postmaster is notified of bounces, protocol problems, and of +other trouble. +.SH BUGS +.ad +.fi +SMTP and LMTP connection reuse for TLS (without closing the +SMTP or LMTP connection) is not supported before Postfix 3.4. + +SMTP and LMTP connection caching assumes that SASL credentials +are valid for all destinations that map onto the same IP +address and TCP port. +.SH "CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +Before Postfix version 2.3, the LMTP client is a separate +program that implements only a subset of the functionality +available with SMTP: there is no support for TLS, and +connections are cached in\-process, making it ineffective +when the client is used for multiple domains. + +Most smtp_\fIxxx\fR configuration parameters have an +lmtp_\fIxxx\fR "mirror" parameter for the equivalent LMTP +feature. This document describes only those LMTP\-related +parameters that aren't simply "mirror" parameters. + +Changes to \fBmain.cf\fR are picked up automatically, as \fBsmtp\fR(8) +processes run for only a limited amount of time.
