The actual mail routing + strategy is delegated to the <a href="trivial-rewrite.8.html"><b>trivial-rewrite</b>(8)</a> daemon. This program + expects to be run from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager. + + Mail addressed to the local <b>double-bounce</b> address is logged and dis- + carded. This stops potential loops caused by undeliverable bounce + notifications. + +<b>MAIL QUEUES</b> + The <a href="qmgr.8.html"><b>qmgr</b>(8)</a> daemon maintains the following queues: + + <b>incoming</b> + Inbound mail from the network, or mail picked up by the local + <a href="pickup.8.html"><b>pickup</b>(8)</a> daemon from the <b>maildrop</b> directory. + + <b>active</b> Messages that the queue manager has opened for delivery. Only a + limited number of messages is allowed to enter the <b>active</b> queue + (leaky bucket strategy, for a fixed delivery rate). + + <b>deferred</b> + Mail that could not be delivered upon the first attempt. The + queue manager implements exponential backoff by doubling the + time between delivery attempts. + + <b>corrupt</b> + Unreadable or damaged queue files are moved here for inspection. + + <b>hold</b> Messages that are kept "on hold" are kept here until someone + sets them free. + +<b>DELIVERY STATUS REPORTS</b> + The <a href="qmgr.8.html"><b>qmgr</b>(8)</a> daemon keeps an eye on per-message delivery status reports + in the following directories. Each status report file has the same name + as the corresponding message file: + + <b>bounce</b> Per-recipient status information about why mail is bounced. + These files are maintained by the <a href="bounce.8.html"><b>bounce</b>(8)</a> daemon. + + <b>defer</b> Per-recipient status information about why mail is delayed. + These files are maintained by the <a href="defer.8.html"><b>defer</b>(8)</a> daemon. + + <b>trace</b> Per-recipient status information as requested with the Postfix + "<b>sendmail -v</b>" or "<b>sendmail -bv</b>" command. These files are main- + tained by the <a href="trace.8.html"><b>trace</b>(8)</a> daemon. + + The <a href="qmgr.8.html"><b>qmgr</b>(8)</a> daemon is responsible for asking the <a href="bounce.8.html"><b>bounce</b>(8)</a>, <a href="defer.8.html"><b>defer</b>(8)</a> or + <a href="trace.8.html"><b>trace</b>(8)</a> daemons to send delivery reports. + +<b>STRATEGIES</b> + The queue manager implements a variety of strategies for either opening + queue files (input) or for message delivery (output). + + <b>leaky bucket</b> + This strategy limits the number of messages in the <b>active</b> queue + and prevents the queue manager from running out of memory under + heavy load. + + <b>fairness</b> + When the <b>active</b> queue has room, the queue manager takes one mes- + sage from the <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#incoming_queue"><b>incoming</b> queue</a> and one from the <b>deferred</b> queue. + This prevents a large mail backlog from blocking the delivery of + new mail. + + <b>slow start</b> + This strategy eliminates "thundering herd" problems by slowly + adjusting the number of parallel deliveries to the same destina- + tion. + + <b>round robin</b> + The queue manager sorts delivery requests by destination. + Round-robin selection prevents one destination from dominating + deliveries to other destinations. + + <b>exponential backoff</b> + Mail that cannot be delivered upon the first attempt is + deferred. The time interval between delivery attempts is dou- + bled after each attempt. + + <b>destination status cache</b> + The queue manager avoids unnecessary delivery attempts by main- + taining a short-term, in-memory list of unreachable destina- + tions. + + <b>preemptive message scheduling</b> + The queue manager attempts to minimize the average per-recipient + delay while still preserving the correct per-message delays, + using a sophisticated preemptive message scheduling. + +<b>TRIGGERS</b> + On an idle system, the queue manager waits for the arrival of trigger + events, or it waits for a timer to go off. A trigger is a one-byte mes- + sage. Depending on the message received, the queue manager performs + one of the following actions (the message is followed by the symbolic + constant used internally by the software): + + <b>D (QMGR_REQ_SCAN_DEFERRED)</b> + Start a <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#deferred_queue">deferred queue</a> scan. If a deferred queue scan is + already in progress, that scan will be restarted as soon as it + finishes. + + <b>I (QMGR_REQ_SCAN_INCOMING)</b> + Start an <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#incoming_queue">incoming queue</a> scan. If an incoming queue scan is + already in progress, that scan will be restarted as soon as it + finishes. + + <b>A (QMGR_REQ_SCAN_ALL)</b> + Ignore <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#deferred_queue">deferred queue</a> file time stamps. The request affects the + next <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#deferred_queue">deferred queue</a> scan. + + <b>F (QMGR_REQ_FLUSH_DEAD)</b> + Purge all information about dead transports and destinations. + + <b>W (TRIGGER_REQ_WAKEUP)</b> + Wakeup call, This is used by the master server to instantiate + servers that should not go away forever. The action is to start + an <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#incoming_queue">incoming queue</a> scan. + + The <a href="qmgr.8.html"><b>qmgr</b>(8)</a> daemon reads an entire buffer worth of triggers. Multiple + identical trigger requests are collapsed into one, and trigger requests + are sorted so that <b>A</b> and <b>F</b> precede <b>D</b> and <b>I</b>. Thus, in order to force a + <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#deferred_queue">deferred queue</a> run, one would request <b>A F D</b>; in order to notify the + queue manager of the arrival of new mail one would request <b>I</b>. + +<b>STANDARDS</b> + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3463">RFC 3463</a> (Enhanced status codes) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3464">RFC 3464</a> (Delivery status notifications) + +<b>SECURITY</b> + The <a href="qmgr.8.html"><b>qmgr</b>(8)</a> daemon is not security sensitive. It reads single-character + messages from untrusted local users, and thus may be susceptible to + denial of service attacks. The <a href="qmgr.8.html"><b>qmgr</b>(8)</a> daemon does not talk to the out- + side world, and it can be run at fixed low privilege in a chrooted + environment. + +<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b> + Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a>. + Corrupted message files are saved to the <b>corrupt</b> queue for further + inspection. + + Depending on the setting of the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#notify_classes">notify_classes</a></b> parameter, the postmas- + ter is notified of bounces and of other trouble. + +<b>BUGS</b> + A single queue manager process has to compete for disk access with mul- + tiple front-end processes such as <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a>.
