+PICKUP(8)                                                            PICKUP(8)

+NAME
+       pickup - Postfix local mail pickup
+
+SYNOPSIS
+       pickup [generic Postfix daemon options]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       The  pickup(8)  daemon  waits  for hints that new mail has been dropped
+       into the maildrop directory, and feeds it into the  cleanup(8)  daemon.
+       Ill-formatted files are deleted without notifying the originator.  This
+       program expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.
+
+STANDARDS
+       None. The pickup(8) daemon does not interact with the outside world.
+
+SECURITY
+       The pickup(8) daemon is moderately security  sensitive.  It  runs  with
+       fixed  low  privilege  and can run in a chrooted environment.  However,
+       the program reads files from potentially hostile users.  The  pickup(8)
+       daemon opens no files for writing, is careful about what files it opens
+       for reading, and does not actually touch any data that is sent  to  its
+       public service endpoint.
+
+DIAGNOSTICS
+       Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8) or postlogd(8).
+
+BUGS
+       The  pickup(8)  daemon  copies mail from file to the cleanup(8) daemon.
+       It could avoid message copying overhead by sending  a  file  descriptor
+       instead  of  file  data, but then the already complex cleanup(8) daemon
+       would have to deal with unfiltered user data.
+
+CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
+       As the pickup(8) daemon is a relatively long-running process, up to  an
+       hour  may  pass  before a main.cf change takes effect.  Use the command
+       "postfix reload" command to speed up a change.
+
+       The text below provides only a parameter summary. See  postconf(5)  for
+       more details including examples.
+
+CONTENT INSPECTION CONTROLS
+       content_filter (empty)
+              After  the  message  is  queued,  send the entire message to the
+              specified transport:destination.
+
+       receive_override_options (empty)
+              Enable or disable recipient validation, built-in content filter-
+              ing, or address mapping.
+
+MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS
+       config_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)
+              The  default  location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf con-
+              figuration files.
+
+       ipc_timeout (3600s)
+              The time limit for sending  or  receiving  information  over  an
+              internal communication channel.
+
+       line_length_limit (2048)
+              Upon  input,  long  lines  are chopped up into pieces of at most
+              this length; upon delivery, long lines are reconstructed.
+
+       max_idle (100s)
+              The maximum amount of time that an idle Postfix  daemon  process
+              waits for an incoming connection before terminating voluntarily.
+
+       max_use (100)
+              The maximal number of incoming connections that a Postfix daemon
+              process will service before terminating voluntarily.
+
+       process_id (read-only)
+              The process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process.
+
+       process_name (read-only)
+              The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process.
+
+       queue_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)
+              The location of the Postfix top-level queue directory.
+
+       syslog_facility (mail)
+              The syslog facility of Postfix logging.
+
+       syslog_name (see 'postconf -d' output)
+              A  prefix  that  is  prepended  to  the  process  name in syslog
+              records, so that, for example, "smtpd" becomes "prefix/smtpd".
+
+       Available in Postfix 3.3 and later:
+
+       service_name (read-only)
+              The master.cf service name of a Postfix daemon process.
