+\fBpostmap \-q \- /etc/postfix/access <\fIinputfile\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+This document describes access control on remote SMTP client
+information: host names, network addresses, and envelope
+sender or recipient addresses; it is implemented by the
+Postfix SMTP server. See \fBheader_checks\fR(5) or
+\fBbody_checks\fR(5) for access control on the content of
+email messages.
+
+Normally, the \fBaccess\fR(5) table is specified as a text file
+that serves as input to the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command.
+The result, an indexed file in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format,
+is used for fast searching by the mail system. Execute the
+command "\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/access\fR" to rebuild an
+indexed file after changing the corresponding text file.
+
+When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP
+or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.
+
+Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular\-expression
+map where patterns are given as regular expressions, or lookups
+can be directed to TCP\-based server. In those cases, the lookups
+are done in a slightly different way as described below under
+"REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES" or "TCP\-BASED TABLES".
+.SH "CASE FOLDING"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The search string is folded to lowercase before database
+lookup. As of Postfix 2.3, the search string is not case
+folded with database types such as regexp: or pcre: whose
+lookup fields can match both upper and lower case.
+.SH "TABLE FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The input format for the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command is as follows:
+.IP "\fIpattern action\fR"
+When \fIpattern\fR matches a mail address, domain or host address,
+perform the corresponding \fIaction\fR.
+.IP "blank lines and comments"
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as
+are lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP "multi\-line text"
+A logical line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.SH "EMAIL ADDRESS PATTERNS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked
+tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, patterns are tried in the order as
+listed below:
+.IP \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR
+Matches the specified mail address.
+.IP \fIdomain.tld\fR
+Matches \fIdomain.tld\fR as the domain part of an email address.
+.sp
+The pattern \fIdomain.tld\fR also matches subdomains, but only
+when the string \fBsmtpd_access_maps\fR is listed in the Postfix
+\fBparent_domain_matches_subdomains\fR configuration setting.
+.IP \fI.domain.tld\fR
+Matches subdomains of \fIdomain.tld\fR, but only when the
+string \fBsmtpd_access_maps\fR is not listed in the Postfix
+\fBparent_domain_matches_subdomains\fR configuration setting.
+.IP \fIuser\fR@
+Matches all mail addresses with the specified user part.
+.PP
+Note: lookup of the null sender address is not possible with
+some types of lookup table. By default, Postfix uses \fB<>\fR
+as the lookup key for such addresses. The value is specified with
+the \fBsmtpd_null_access_lookup_key\fR parameter in the Postfix
+\fBmain.cf\fR file.
+.SH "EMAIL ADDRESS EXTENSION"
+.na
+.nf
+.fi
+.ad
+When a mail address localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter
+(e.g., \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR), the lookup order becomes:
+\fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIdomain\fR,
+\fIuser+foo\fR@, and \fIuser\fR@.
+.SH "HOST NAME/ADDRESS PATTERNS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked
+tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, the following lookup patterns are
+examined in the order as listed:
+.IP \fIdomain.tld\fR
+Matches \fIdomain.tld\fR.
+.sp
+The pattern \fIdomain.tld\fR also matches subdomains, but only
+when the string \fBsmtpd_access_maps\fR is listed in the Postfix
+\fBparent_domain_matches_subdomains\fR configuration setting.
+.IP \fI.domain.tld\fR
+Matches subdomains of \fIdomain.tld\fR, but only when the
+string \fBsmtpd_access_maps\fR is not listed in the Postfix
+\fBparent_domain_matches_subdomains\fR configuration setting.
+.IP \fInet.work.addr.ess\fR
+.IP \fInet.work.addr\fR
+.IP \fInet.work\fR
+.IP \fInet\fR
+Matches the specified IPv4 host address or subnetwork. An
+IPv4 host address is a sequence of four decimal octets
+separated by ".".
+
+Subnetworks are matched by repeatedly truncating the last
+".octet" from the remote IPv4 host address string until a
+match is found in the access table, or until further
+truncation is not possible.
+
+NOTE 1: The access map lookup key must be in canonical form:
+do not specify unnecessary null characters, and do not
+enclose network address information with "[]" characters.
+
+NOTE 2: use the \fBcidr\fR lookup table type to specify
+network/netmask patterns. See \fBcidr_table\fR(5) for details.
+.IP \fInet:work:addr:ess\fR
+.IP \fInet:work:addr\fR
+.IP \fInet:work\fR
+.IP \fInet\fR
+Matches the specified IPv6 host address or subnetwork. An
+IPv6 host address is a sequence of three to eight hexadecimal
+octet pairs separated by ":".
+
+Subnetworks are matched by repeatedly truncating the last
+":octetpair" from the remote IPv6 host address string until
+a match is found in the access table, or until further
+truncation is not possible.
+
+NOTE 1: the truncation and comparison are done with the
+string representation of the IPv6 host address. Thus, not
+all the ":" subnetworks will be tried.
+
+NOTE 2: The access map lookup key must be in canonical form:
+do not specify unnecessary null characters, and do not
+enclose network address information with "[]" characters.
+
+NOTE 3: use the \fBcidr\fR lookup table type to specify
+network/netmask patterns. See \fBcidr_table\fR(5) for details.
+
+IPv6 support is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH "ACCEPT ACTIONS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP \fBOK\fR
+Accept the address etc. that matches the pattern.
+.IP \fIall\-numerical\fR
+An all\-numerical result is treated as OK. This format is
+generated by address\-based relay authorization schemes
+such as pop\-before\-smtp.
+.PP
+For other accept actions, see "OTHER ACTIONS" below.
+.SH "REJECT ACTIONS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Postfix version 2.3 and later support enhanced status codes
+as defined in RFC 3463.
+When no code is specified at the beginning of the \fItext\fR
+below, Postfix inserts a default enhanced status code of "5.7.1"
+in the case of reject actions, and "4.7.1" in the case of
+defer actions. See "ENHANCED STATUS CODES" below.
+.IP "\fB4\fINN text\fR"
+.IP "\fB5\fINN text\fR"
+Reject the address etc. that matches the pattern, and respond with
+the numerical three\-digit code and text. \fB4\fINN\fR means "try
+again later", while \fB5\fINN\fR means "do not try again".
+
+The following responses have special meaning for the Postfix
+SMTP server:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB421 \fItext\fR (Postfix 2.3 and later)"
+.IP "\fB521 \fItext\fR (Postfix 2.6 and later)"
+After responding with the numerical three\-digit code and
+text, disconnect immediately from the SMTP client. This
+frees up SMTP server resources so that they can be made
+available to another SMTP client.
+.IP
+Note: The "521" response should be used only with botnets
+and other malware where interoperability is of no concern.
+The "send 521 and disconnect" behavior is NOT defined in
+the SMTP standard.
+.RE
+.IP "\fBREJECT \fIoptional text...\fR
+Reject the address etc. that matches the pattern. Reply with
+"\fB$access_map_reject_code \fIoptional text...\fR" when the

+Postfix version 2.3 and later support enhanced status codes
+as defined in RFC 3463.
+When an enhanced status code is specified in an access
+table, it is subject to modification. The following
+transformations are needed when the same access table is
+used for client, helo, sender, or recipient access restrictions;
+they happen regardless of whether Postfix replies to a MAIL
+FROM, RCPT TO or other SMTP command.
+.IP \(bu
+When a sender address matches a REJECT action, the Postfix
+SMTP server will transform a recipient DSN status (e.g.,
+4.1.1\-4.1.6) into the corresponding sender DSN status, and
+vice versa.
+.IP \(bu
+When non\-address information matches a REJECT action (such
+as the HELO command argument or the client hostname/address),
+the Postfix SMTP server will transform a sender or recipient
+DSN status into a generic non\-address DSN status (e.g.,
+4.0.0).
+.SH "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when the table
+is given in the form of regular expressions. For a description of
+regular expression lookup table syntax, see \fBregexp_table\fR(5)
+or \fBpcre_table\fR(5).
+
+Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire
+string being looked up. Depending on the application, that string
+is an entire client hostname, an entire client IP address, or an
+entire mail address. Thus, no parent domain or parent network search
+is done, \fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not broken up into
+their \fIuser@\fR and \fIdomain\fR constituent parts, nor is
+\fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+
+Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+pattern is found that matches the search string.
+
+Actions are the same as with indexed file lookups, with

+Postfix local alias database format
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.na
+.nf
+.fi
+\fBnewaliases\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The \fBaliases\fR(5) table provides a system\-wide mechanism to
+redirect mail for local recipients. The redirections are
+processed by the Postfix \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent.
+
+Normally, the \fBaliases\fR(5) table is specified as a text file
+that serves as input to the \fBpostalias\fR(1) command. The
+result, an indexed file in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format, is
+used for fast lookup by the mail system. Execute the command
+\fBnewaliases\fR in order to rebuild the indexed file after
+changing the Postfix alias database.
+
+When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP
+or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.
+
+Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular\-expression
+map where patterns are given as regular expressions. In
+this case, the lookups are done in a slightly different way
+as described below under "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES".
+
+Users can control delivery of their own mail by setting
+up \fB.forward\fR files in their home directory.
+Lines in per\-user \fB.forward\fR files have the same syntax
+as the right\-hand side of \fBaliases\fR(5) entries.
+
+The format of the alias database input file is as follows:
+.IP \(bu
+An alias definition has the form
+.sp
+.nf
+ \fIname\fR: \fIvalue1\fR, \fIvalue2\fR, \fI...\fR
+.fi
+.IP \(bu
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as
+are lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP \(bu
+A logical line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.PP
+The \fIname\fR is a local address (no domain part).
+Use double quotes when the name contains any special characters
+such as whitespace, `#', `:', or `@'. The \fIname\fR is folded to
+lowercase, in order to make database lookups case insensitive.
+.PP
+In addition, when an alias exists for \fBowner\-\fIname\fR,
+this will override the envelope sender address, so that
+delivery diagnostics are directed to \fBowner\-\fIname\fR,
+instead of the originator of the message (for details, see
+\fBowner_request_special\fR, \fBexpand_owner_alias\fR and
+\fBreset_owner_alias\fR).
+This is typically used to direct delivery errors to the maintainer of
+a mailing list, who is in a better position to deal with mailing
+list delivery problems than the originator of the undelivered mail.
+.PP
+The \fIvalue\fR contains one or more of the following:
+.IP \fIaddress\fR
+Mail is forwarded to \fIaddress\fR, which is compatible
+with the RFC 822 standard.
+.IP \fI/file/name\fR
+Mail is appended to \fI/file/name\fR. See \fBlocal\fR(8)
+for details of delivery to file.
+Delivery is not limited to regular files. For example, to dispose
+of unwanted mail, deflect it to \fB/dev/null\fR.
+.IP "|\fIcommand\fR"
+Mail is piped into \fIcommand\fR. Commands that contain special
+characters, such as whitespace, should be enclosed between double
+quotes. See \fBlocal\fR(8) for details of delivery to command.
+.sp
+When the command fails, a limited amount of command output is
+mailed back to the sender. The file \fB/usr/include/sysexits.h\fR
+defines the expected exit status codes. For example, use
+\fB"|exit 67"\fR to simulate a "user unknown" error, and
+\fB"|exit 0"\fR to implement an expensive black hole.
+.IP \fB:include:\fI/file/name\fR
+Mail is sent to the destinations listed in the named file.
+Lines in \fB:include:\fR files have the same syntax
+as the right\-hand side of alias entries.
+.sp
+A destination can be any destination that is described in this

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix \fBbounce\fR(8) server produces delivery status
+notification (DSN) messages for undeliverable mail, delayed
+mail, successful delivery or address verification requests.
+
+By default, these notifications are generated from built\-in
+templates with message headers and message text. Sites can
+override the built\-in information by specifying a bounce
+template file with the \fBbounce_template_file\fR configuration
+parameter.
+
+This document describes the general procedure to create a
+bounce template file, followed by the specific details of
+bounce template formats.
+.SH "GENERAL PROCEDURE"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+To create a customized bounce template file, create a
+temporary
+copy of the file \fB/etc/postfix/bounce.cf.default\fR and
+edit the temporary file.
+
+To preview the results of $\fIname\fR expansions in the
+template text, use the command
+
+.nf
+ \fBpostconf \-b\fR \fItemporary_file\fR
+.fi
+
+Errors in the template will be reported to the standard
+error stream and to the syslog daemon.
+
+While previewing the text, be sure to pay particular attention
+to the expansion of time value parameters that appear in
+the delayed mail notification text.
+
+Once the result is satisfactory, copy the template to the
+Postfix configuration directory and specify in main.cf
+something like:
+
+.nf
+/etc/postfix/main.cf:
+ bounce_template_file = /etc/postfix/bounce.cf
+.fi
+.SH "TEMPLATE FILE FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The template file can specify templates for failed mail,
+delayed mail, successful delivery or for address verification.
+These templates are named \fBfailure_template\fR,
+\fBdelay_template\fR, \fBsuccess_template\fR and
+\fBverify_template\fR, respectively. You can but do not
+have to specify all four templates in a bounce template
+file.
+
+Each template starts with "\fItemplate_name\fB = <<EOF\fR"
+and ends with a line that contains the word "\fBEOF\fR"
+only. You can change the word EOF, but you can't enclose
+it in quotes as with the shell or with Perl (\fItemplate_name\fB
+= <<'EOF'\fR). Here is an example:
+
+.nf
+ # The failure template is used for undeliverable mail.
+
+ failure_template = <<EOF
+ Charset: us\-ascii
+ From: MAILER\-DAEMON (Mail Delivery System)
+ Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
+ Postmaster\-Subject: Postmaster Copy: Undelivered Mail
+
+ This is the mail system at host $myhostname.
+
+ I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
+ be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
+
+ For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
+
+ If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
+ delete your own text from the attached returned message.
+
+ The mail system
+ EOF
+.fi
+.PP
+The usage and specification of bounce templates is
+subject to the following restrictions:
+.IP \(bu
+No special meaning is given to the backslash character or
+to leading whitespace; these are always taken literally.
+.IP \(bu
+Inside the << context, the "$" character is special. To
+produce a "$" character as output, specify "$$".
+.IP \(bu
+Outside the << context, lines beginning with "#" are ignored,
+as are empty lines, and lines consisting of whitespace only.
+.PP
+Examples of all templates can be found in the file
+\fBbounce.cf.default\fR in the Postfix configuration
+directory.
+.SH "TEMPLATE HEADER FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The first portion of a bounce template consists of optional
+template headers. Some become message headers in the
+delivery status notification; some control the formatting
+of that notification. Headers not specified in a template
+will be left at their default value.
+
+The following headers are supported:
+.IP \fBCharset:\fR
+The MIME character set of the template message text. See
+the "TEMPLATE MESSAGE TEXT FORMAT" description below.
+.IP \fBFrom:\fR
+The sender address in the message header of the delivery
+status notification.
+.IP \fBSubject:\fR
+The subject in the message header of the delivery status
+notification that is returned to the sender.
+.IP \fBPostmaster\-Subject:\fR
+The subject that will be used in Postmaster copies of
+undeliverable or delayed mail notifications. These copies
+are sent under control of the notify_classes configuration
+parameter.
+.PP
+The usage and specification of template message headers is
+subject to the following restrictions:
+.IP \(bu
+Template message header names can be specified in upper
+case, lower case or mixed case. Postfix always produces
+bounce message header labels of the form "\fBFrom:\fR" and
+"\fBSubject:\fR".
+.IP \(bu
+Template message headers must not span multiple lines.
+.IP \(bu
+Template message headers do not support $parameter expansions.

+Template message headers must contain ASCII characters only,
+and must not contain ASCII null characters.
+.SH "TEMPLATE MESSAGE TEXT FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The second portion of a bounce template consists of message
+text. As the above example shows, template message text may
+contain main.cf $parameters. Besides the parameters that are
+defined in main.cf, the following parameters are treated
+specially depending on the suffix that is appended to their
+name.
+.IP \fBdelay_warning_time_\fIsuffix\fR
+Expands into the value of the \fBdelay_warning_time\fR
+parameter, expressed in the time unit specified by
+\fIsuffix\fR, which is one of \fBseconds\fR, \fBminutes\fR,
+\fBhours\fB, \fBdays\fR, or \fBweeks\fR.
+.IP \fBmaximal_queue_lifetime_\fIsuffix\fR

+parameter, expressed in the time unit specified by
+\fIsuffix\fR. See above under \fBdelay_warning_time\fR for
+possible \fIsuffix\fR values.
+.IP \fBmydomain\fR
+Expands into the value of the \fBmydomain\fR parameter.

+(xn\-\-mumble) with their UTF\-8 equivalent.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0.
+.IP \fBmyhostname\fR

+.PP
+The usage and specification of template message text is
+subject to the following restrictions:
+.IP \(bu
+The template message text is not sent in Postmaster copies
+of delivery status notifications.
+.IP \(bu
+If the template message text contains non\-ASCII characters,
+Postfix requires that the \fBCharset:\fR template header

+Postfix canonical table format

+\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/canonical\fR
+
+\fBpostmap \-q "\fIstring\fB" /etc/postfix/canonical\fR
+
+\fBpostmap \-q \- /etc/postfix/canonical <\fIinputfile\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The optional \fBcanonical\fR(5) table specifies an address mapping for
+local and non\-local addresses. The mapping is used by the
+\fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon, before mail is stored into the
+queue. The address mapping is recursive.
+
+Normally, the \fBcanonical\fR(5) table is specified as a text file
+that serves as input to the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command.
+The result, an indexed file in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format,
+is used for fast searching by the mail system. Execute the command
+"\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/canonical\fR" to rebuild an indexed
+file after changing the corresponding text file.
+
+When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP
+or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.
+
+Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular\-expression
+map where patterns are given as regular expressions, or lookups
+can be directed to TCP\-based server. In those cases, the lookups
+are done in a slightly different way as described below under
+"REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES" or "TCP\-BASED TABLES".
+
+By default the \fBcanonical\fR(5) mapping affects both message
+header addresses (i.e. addresses that appear inside messages)
+and message envelope addresses (for example, the addresses
+that are used in SMTP protocol commands). This is controlled with
+the \fBcanonical_classes\fR parameter.
+
+NOTE: Postfix versions 2.2 and later rewrite message headers
+from remote SMTP clients only if the client matches the
+local_header_rewrite_clients parameter, or if the
+remote_header_rewrite_domain configuration parameter specifies
+a non\-empty value. To get the behavior before Postfix 2.2,
+specify "local_header_rewrite_clients = static:all".
+
+Typically, one would use the \fBcanonical\fR(5) table to replace login
+names by \fIFirstname.Lastname\fR, or to clean up addresses produced
+by legacy mail systems.
+
+The \fBcanonical\fR(5) mapping is not to be confused with \fIvirtual
+alias\fR support or with local aliasing. To change the destination
+but not the headers, use the \fBvirtual\fR(5) or \fBaliases\fR(5)
+map instead.
+.SH "CASE FOLDING"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The search string is folded to lowercase before database
+lookup. As of Postfix 2.3, the search string is not case
+folded with database types such as regexp: or pcre: whose
+lookup fields can match both upper and lower case.
+.SH "TABLE FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The input format for the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command is as follows:
+.IP "\fIpattern address\fR"
+When \fIpattern\fR matches a mail address, replace it by the
+corresponding \fIaddress\fR.
+.IP "blank lines and comments"
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as
+are lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP "multi\-line text"
+A logical line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.SH "TABLE SEARCH ORDER"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked
+tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, each \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR
+query produces a sequence of query patterns as described below.
+
+Each query pattern is sent to each specified lookup table
+before trying the next query pattern, until a match is
+found.
+.IP "\fIuser\fR@\fIdomain address\fR"
+Replace \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR by \fIaddress\fR. This form
+has the highest precedence.
+.sp
+This is useful to clean up addresses produced by legacy mail systems.
+It can also be used to produce \fIFirstname.Lastname\fR style
+addresses, but see below for a simpler solution.
+.IP "\fIuser address\fR"
+Replace \fIuser\fR@\fIsite\fR by \fIaddress\fR when \fIsite\fR is
+equal to $\fBmyorigin\fR, when \fIsite\fR is listed in
+$\fBmydestination\fR, or when it is listed in $\fBinet_interfaces\fR
+or $\fBproxy_interfaces\fR.
+.sp
+This form is useful for replacing login names by
+\fIFirstname.Lastname\fR.
+.IP "@\fIdomain address\fR"
+Replace other addresses in \fIdomain\fR by \fIaddress\fR.
+This form has the lowest precedence.
+.sp
+Note: @\fIdomain\fR is a wild\-card. When this form is applied
+to recipient addresses, the Postfix SMTP server accepts
+mail for any recipient in \fIdomain\fR, regardless of whether
+that recipient exists. This may turn your mail system into
+a backscatter source: Postfix first accepts mail for
+non\-existent recipients and then tries to return that mail
+as "undeliverable" to the often forged sender address.
+.sp
+To avoid backscatter with mail for a wild\-card domain,
+replace the wild\-card mapping with explicit 1:1 mappings,
+or add a reject_unverified_recipient restriction for that
+domain:
+
+.nf
+ smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
+ ...
+ reject_unauth_destination
+ check_recipient_access
+ inline:{example.com=reject_unverified_recipient}
+ unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550
+.fi
+
+In the above example, Postfix may contact a remote server
+if the recipient is rewritten to a remote address.
+.SH "RESULT ADDRESS REWRITING"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The lookup result is subject to address rewriting:
+.IP \(bu
+When the result has the form @\fIotherdomain\fR, the
+result becomes the same \fIuser\fR in \fIotherdomain\fR.
+.IP \(bu
+When "\fBappend_at_myorigin=yes\fR", append "\fB@$myorigin\fR"
+to addresses without "@domain".
+.IP \(bu
+When "\fBappend_dot_mydomain=yes\fR", append
+"\fB.$mydomain\fR" to addresses without ".domain".
+.SH "ADDRESS EXTENSION"
+.na
+.nf
+.fi
+.ad
+When a mail address localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter
+(e.g., \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR), the lookup order becomes:
+\fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser+foo\fR,
+\fIuser\fR, and @\fIdomain\fR.
+
+The \fBpropagate_unmatched_extensions\fR parameter controls whether
+an unmatched address extension (\fI+foo\fR) is propagated to the
+result of table lookup.
+.SH "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when the table
+is given in the form of regular expressions. For a description of
+regular expression lookup table syntax, see \fBregexp_table\fR(5)
+or \fBpcre_table\fR(5).
+
+Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire
+address being looked up. Thus, \fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not
+broken up into their \fIuser\fR and \fI@domain\fR constituent parts,
+nor is \fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+
+Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+pattern is found that matches the search string.
+
+Results are the same as with indexed file lookups, with
+the additional feature that parenthesized substrings from the
+pattern can be interpolated as \fB$1\fR, \fB$2\fR and so on.
+.SH "TCP-BASED TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when lookups
+are directed to a TCP\-based server. For a description of the TCP
+client/server lookup protocol, see \fBtcp_table\fR(5).
+This feature is not available up to and including Postfix version 2.4.
+
+Each lookup operation uses the entire address once. Thus,
+\fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not broken up into their
+\fIuser\fR and \fI@domain\fR constituent parts, nor is
+\fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+
+Results are the same as with indexed file lookups.

+.SH "ADDRESS PATTERN SYNTAX"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Postfix CIDR tables are pattern\-based. A pattern is either
+a \fInetwork_address\fR which requires an exact match, or a
+\fInetwork_address/prefix_length\fR where the \fIprefix_length\fR
+part specifies the length of the \fInetwork_address\fR prefix
+that must be matched (the other bits in the \fInetwork_address\fR
+part must be zero).
+
+An IPv4 network address is a sequence of four decimal octets
+separated by ".", and an IPv6 network address is a sequence
+of three to eight hexadecimal octet pairs separated by ":"
+or "::", where the latter is short\-hand for a sequence of
+one or more all\-zero octet pairs. The pattern 0.0.0.0/0
+matches every IPv4 address, and ::/0 matches every IPv6
+address. IPv6 support is available in Postfix 2.2 and
+later.
+
+Before comparisons are made, lookup keys and table entries
+are converted from string to binary. Therefore, IPv6 patterns
+will be matched regardless of leading zeros (a leading zero in
+an IPv4 address octet indicates octal notation).
+
+Note: address information may be enclosed inside "[]" but
+this form is not required.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The optional \fBgeneric\fR(5) table specifies an address
+mapping that applies when mail is delivered. This is the
+opposite of \fBcanonical\fR(5) mapping, which applies when
+mail is received.
+
+Typically, one would use the \fBgeneric\fR(5) table on a
+system that does not have a valid Internet domain name and
+that uses something like \fIlocaldomain.local\fR instead.
+The \fBgeneric\fR(5) table is then used by the \fBsmtp\fR(8)
+client to transform local mail addresses into valid Internet
+mail addresses when mail has to be sent across the Internet.
+See the EXAMPLE section at the end of this document.
+
+The \fBgeneric\fR(5) mapping affects both message header
+addresses (i.e. addresses that appear inside messages) and
+message envelope addresses (for example, the addresses that
+are used in SMTP protocol commands).
+
+Normally, the \fBgeneric\fR(5) table is specified as a
+text file that serves as input to the \fBpostmap\fR(1)
+command. The result, an indexed file in \fBdbm\fR or
+\fBdb\fR format, is used for fast searching by the mail
+system. Execute the command "\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/generic\fR"
+to rebuild an indexed file after changing the corresponding
+text file.
+
+When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP
+or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.
+
+Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular\-expression
+map where patterns are given as regular expressions, or lookups
+can be directed to TCP\-based server. In those case, the lookups
+are done in a slightly different way as described below under
+"REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES" or "TCP\-BASED TABLES".
+.SH "CASE FOLDING"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The search string is folded to lowercase before database
+lookup. As of Postfix 2.3, the search string is not case
+folded with database types such as regexp: or pcre: whose
+lookup fields can match both upper and lower case.
+.SH "TABLE FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The input format for the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command is as follows:
+.IP "\fIpattern result\fR"
+When \fIpattern\fR matches a mail address, replace it by the
+corresponding \fIresult\fR.
+.IP "blank lines and comments"
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as
+are lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP "multi\-line text"
+A logical line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.SH "TABLE SEARCH ORDER"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked
+tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, each \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR
+query produces a sequence of query patterns as described below.
+
+Each query pattern is sent to each specified lookup table
+before trying the next query pattern, until a match is
+found.
+.IP "\fIuser\fR@\fIdomain address\fR"
+Replace \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR by \fIaddress\fR. This form
+has the highest precedence.
+.IP "\fIuser address\fR"
+Replace \fIuser\fR@\fIsite\fR by \fIaddress\fR when \fIsite\fR is
+equal to $\fBmyorigin\fR, when \fIsite\fR is listed in
+$\fBmydestination\fR, or when it is listed in $\fBinet_interfaces\fR
+or $\fBproxy_interfaces\fR.
+.IP "@\fIdomain address\fR"
+Replace other addresses in \fIdomain\fR by \fIaddress\fR.
+This form has the lowest precedence.
+.SH "RESULT ADDRESS REWRITING"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The lookup result is subject to address rewriting:
+.IP \(bu
+When the result has the form @\fIotherdomain\fR, the
+result becomes the same \fIuser\fR in \fIotherdomain\fR.
+.IP \(bu
+When "\fBappend_at_myorigin=yes\fR", append "\fB@$myorigin\fR"
+to addresses without "@domain".
+.IP \(bu
+When "\fBappend_dot_mydomain=yes\fR", append
+"\fB.$mydomain\fR" to addresses without ".domain".
+.SH "ADDRESS EXTENSION"
+.na
+.nf
+.fi
+.ad
+When a mail address localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter
+(e.g., \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR), the lookup order becomes:
+\fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser+foo\fR,
+\fIuser\fR, and @\fIdomain\fR.
+
+The \fBpropagate_unmatched_extensions\fR parameter controls whether
+an unmatched address extension (\fI+foo\fR) is propagated to the
+result of table lookup.
+.SH "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when the table
+is given in the form of regular expressions. For a description of
+regular expression lookup table syntax, see \fBregexp_table\fR(5)
+or \fBpcre_table\fR(5).
+
+Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire
+address being looked up. Thus, \fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not
+broken up into their \fIuser\fR and \fI@domain\fR constituent parts,
+nor is \fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+
+Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+pattern is found that matches the search string.
+
+Results are the same as with indexed file lookups, with
+the additional feature that parenthesized substrings from the
+pattern can be interpolated as \fB$1\fR, \fB$2\fR and so on.
+.SH "TCP-BASED TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when lookups
+are directed to a TCP\-based server. For a description of the TCP
+client/server lookup protocol, see \fBtcp_table\fR(5).
+This feature is not available up to and including Postfix version 2.4.
+
+Each lookup operation uses the entire address once. Thus,
+\fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not broken up into their
+\fIuser\fR and \fI@domain\fR constituent parts, nor is
+\fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+
+Results are the same as with indexed file lookups.
+.SH "EXAMPLE"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The following shows a generic mapping with an indexed file.
+When mail is sent to a remote host via SMTP, this replaces
+\fIhis@localdomain.local\fR by his ISP mail address, replaces
+\fIher@localdomain.local\fR by her ISP mail address, and
+replaces other local addresses by his ISP account, with
+an address extension of \fI+local\fR (this example assumes
+that the ISP supports "+" style address extensions).
+
+.na

+ @localdomain.local hisaccount+local@hisisp.example
+
+.ad
+.fi
+Execute the command "\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/generic\fR"
+whenever the table is changed. Instead of \fBhash\fR, some
+systems use \fBdbm\fR database files. To find out what
+tables your system supports use the command "\fBpostconf
+\-m\fR".

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+This document describes access control on the content of
+message headers and message body lines; it is implemented
+by the Postfix \fBcleanup\fR(8) server before mail is queued.
+See \fBaccess\fR(5) for access control on remote SMTP client
+information.
+
+Each message header or message body line is compared against
+a list of patterns.
+When a match is found the corresponding action is executed, and
+the matching process is repeated for the next message header or
+message body line.
+
+Note: message headers are examined one logical header at a time,
+even when a message header spans multiple lines. Body lines are
+always examined one line at a time.
+
+For examples, see the EXAMPLES section at the end of this
+manual page.
+
+Postfix header or body_checks are designed to stop a flood of mail
+from worms or viruses; they do not decode attachments, and they do
+not unzip archives. See the documents referenced below in the README
+FILES section if you need more sophisticated content analysis.
+.SH "FILTERS WHILE RECEIVING MAIL"

+Postfix implements the following four built\-in content
+inspection classes while receiving mail:
+.IP "\fBheader_checks\fR (default: empty)"

+the headers that are processed with \fBmime_header_checks\fR).
+.IP "\fBmime_header_checks\fR (default: \fB$header_checks\fR)"
+These are applied to MIME related message headers only.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.IP "\fBnested_header_checks\fR (default: \fB$header_checks\fR)"
+These are applied to message headers of attached email
+messages (except for the headers that are processed with
+\fBmime_header_checks\fR).
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.IP \fBbody_checks\fR
+These are applied to all other content, including multi\-part
+message boundaries.
+.sp
+With Postfix versions before 2.0, all content after the initial
+message headers is treated as body content.
+.SH "FILTERS AFTER RECEIVING MAIL"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Postfix supports a subset of the built\-in content inspection
+classes after the message is received:
+.IP "\fBmilter_header_checks\fR (default: empty)"

+applications.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
+.SH "FILTERS WHILE DELIVERING MAIL"

+.SH "TABLE FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This document assumes that header and body_checks rules are specified
+in the form of Postfix regular expression lookup tables. Usually the
+best performance is obtained with \fBpcre\fR (Perl Compatible Regular
+Expression) tables. The \fBregexp\fR (POSIX regular
+expressions) tables are usually slower, but more widely
+available.
+Use the command "\fBpostconf \-m\fR" to find out what lookup table
+types your Postfix system supports.
+
+The general format of Postfix regular expression tables is
+given below.
+For a discussion of specific pattern or flags syntax,
+see \fBpcre_table\fR(5) or \fBregexp_table\fR(5), respectively.
+.IP "\fB/\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags action\fR"
+When /\fIpattern\fR/ matches the input string, execute
+the corresponding \fIaction\fR. See below for a list
+of possible actions.
+.IP "\fB!/\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags action\fR"
+When /\fIpattern\fR/ does \fBnot\fR match the input string,
+execute the corresponding \fIaction\fR.
+.IP "\fBif /\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags\fR"
+.IP "\fBendif\fR"
+If the input string matches /\fIpattern\fR/, then match that
+input string against the patterns between \fBif\fR and
+\fBendif\fR. The \fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR can nest.
+.sp
+Note: do not prepend whitespace to patterns inside
+\fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR.
+.IP "\fBif !/\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags\fR"
+.IP "\fBendif\fR"
+If the input string does not match /\fIpattern\fR/, then
+match that input string against the patterns between \fBif\fR
+and \fBendif\fR. The \fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR can nest.
+.IP "blank lines and comments"
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as
+are lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP "multi\-line text"
+A pattern/action line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.SH "TABLE SEARCH ORDER"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+For each line of message input, the patterns are applied in the
+order as specified in the table. When a pattern is found that matches
+the input line, the corresponding action is executed and then the
+next input line is inspected.
+.SH "TEXT SUBSTITUTION"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Substitution of substrings from the matched expression into the
+\fIaction\fR
+string is possible using the conventional Perl syntax
+(\fB$1\fR, \fB$2\fR, etc.).
+The macros in the result string may need to be written as \fB${n}\fR
+or \fB$(n)\fR if they aren't followed by whitespace.
+
+Note: since negated patterns (those preceded by \fB!\fR) return a
+result when the expression does not match, substitutions are not
+available for negated patterns.
+.SH "ACTIONS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Action names are case insensitive. They are shown in upper case
+for consistency with other Postfix documentation.
+.IP "\fBBCC \fIuser@domain\fR"
+Add the specified address as a BCC recipient, and inspect
+the next input line. The address
+must have a local part and domain part. The number of BCC
+addresses that can be added is limited only by the amount
+of available storage space.
+
+Note 1: the BCC address is added as if it was specified with
+NOTIFY=NONE. The sender will not be notified when the BCC
+address is undeliverable, as long as all down\-stream software
+implements RFC 3461.
+
+Note 2: this ignores duplicate addresses (with the same
+delivery status notification options).
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.sp
+This feature is not supported with smtp header/body checks.
+.IP "\fBDISCARD \fIoptional text...\fR"
+Claim successful delivery and silently discard the message.
+Do not inspect the remainder of the input message.
+Log the optional text if specified, otherwise log a generic
+message.
+.sp
+Note: this action disables further header or body_checks inspection
+of the current message and affects all recipients.
+To discard only one recipient without discarding the entire message,
+use the transport(5) table to direct mail to the discard(8) service.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.sp
+This feature is not supported with smtp header/body checks.
+.IP \fBDUNNO\fR
+Pretend that the input line did not match any pattern, and inspect the
+next input line. This action can be used to shorten the table search.
+.sp
+For backwards compatibility reasons, Postfix also accepts
+\fBOK\fR but it is (and always has been) treated as \fBDUNNO\fR.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.IP "\fBFILTER \fItransport:destination\fR"
+Override the content_filter parameter setting, and inspect
+the next input line.
+After the message is queued, send the entire message through
+the specified external content filter. The \fItransport\fR
+name specifies the first field of a mail delivery agent
+definition in master.cf; the syntax of the next\-hop
+\fIdestination\fR is described in the manual page of the
+corresponding delivery agent. More information about
+external content filters is in the Postfix FILTER_README
+file.
+.sp
+Note 1: do not use $\fInumber\fR regular expression
+substitutions for \fItransport\fR or \fIdestination\fR
+unless you know that the information has a trusted origin.
+.sp
+Note 2: this action overrides the main.cf \fBcontent_filter\fR
+setting, and affects all recipients of the message. In the
+case that multiple \fBFILTER\fR actions fire, only the last
+one is executed.
+.sp
+Note 3: the purpose of the FILTER command is to override
+message routing. To override the recipient's \fItransport\fR
+but not the next\-hop \fIdestination\fR, specify an empty
+filter \fIdestination\fR (Postfix 2.7 and later), or specify
+a \fItransport:destination\fR that delivers through a
+different Postfix instance (Postfix 2.6 and earlier). Other
+options are using the recipient\-dependent \fBtrans\%port\%_maps\fR
+or the sen\%der\-dependent
+\fBsender\%_de\%pen\%dent\%_de\%fault\%_trans\%port\%_maps\fR
+features.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.sp
+This feature is not supported with smtp header/body checks.
+.IP "\fBHOLD \fIoptional text...\fR"
+Arrange for the message to be placed on the \fBhold\fR queue,
+and inspect the next input line. The message remains on \fBhold\fR
+until someone either deletes it or releases it for delivery.
+Log the optional text if specified, otherwise log a generic
+message.
+
+Mail that is placed on hold can be examined with the
+\fBpostcat\fR(1) command, and can be destroyed or released with
+the \fBpostsuper\fR(1) command.
+.sp

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
+rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
+\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+
+Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as LDAP databases.
+
+In order to use LDAP lookups, define an LDAP source as a lookup
+table in main.cf, for example:
+
+.nf
+ alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap\-aliases.cf
+.fi
+
+The file /etc/postfix/ldap\-aliases.cf has the same format as
+the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters
+described below. An example is given at the end of this manual.
+
+This configuration method is available with Postfix version
+2.1 and later. See the section "OBSOLETE MAIN.CF PARAMETERS"
+below for older Postfix versions.
+
+For details about LDAP SSL and STARTTLS, see the section
+on SSL and STARTTLS below.
+.SH "LIST MEMBERSHIP"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+When using LDAP to store lists such as $mynetworks,
+$mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps,
+etc., it is important to understand that the table must
+store each list member as a separate key. The table lookup
+verifies the *existence* of the key. See "Postfix lists
+versus tables" in the DATABASE_README document for a
+discussion.
+
+Do NOT create tables that return the full list of domains
+in $mydestination or $relay_domains etc., or IP addresses
+in $mynetworks.
+
+DO create tables with each matching item as a key and with
+an arbitrary value. With LDAP databases it is not uncommon to
+return the key itself.
+
+For example, NEVER do this in a map defining $mydestination:
+
+.nf
+ query_filter = domain=*
+ result_attribute = domain
+.fi
+
+Do this instead:
+
+.nf
+ query_filter = domain=%s
+ result_attribute = domain
+.fi

+In the text below, default values are given in parentheses.
+Note: don't use quotes in these variables; at least, not until the
+Postfix configuration routines understand how to deal with quoted
+strings.
+.IP "\fBserver_host (default: localhost)\fR"
+The name of the host running the LDAP server, e.g.
+
+.nf
+ server_host = ldap.example.com
+.fi
+
+Depending on the LDAP client library you're using, it should
+be possible to specify multiple servers here, with the library
+trying them in order should the first one fail. It should also
+be possible to give each server in the list a different port
+(overriding \fBserver_port\fR below), by naming them like
+
+.nf
+ server_host = ldap.example.com:1444
+.fi
+
+With OpenLDAP, a (list of) LDAP URLs can be used to specify both
+the hostname(s) and the port(s):
+
+.nf
+ server_host = ldap://ldap.example.com:1444
+ ldap://ldap2.example.com:1444
+.fi
+
+All LDAP URLs accepted by the OpenLDAP library are supported,
+including connections over UNIX domain sockets, and LDAP SSL
+(the last one provided that OpenLDAP was compiled with support
+for SSL):
+
+.nf
+ server_host = ldapi://%2Fsome%2Fpath
+ ldaps://ldap.example.com:636
+.fi
+.IP "\fBserver_port (default: 389)\fR"
+The port the LDAP server listens on, e.g.
+
+.nf

+.IP
+For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
+to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
+table. After applying the result format, multiple values
+are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
+and size_limit parameters explained below allow one to
+restrict the number of values in the result, which is
+especially useful for maps that should return a single
+value.
+
+The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each
+attribute value should be used as is.
+
+This parameter was called \fBresult_filter\fR in Postfix
+releases prior to 2.2. If no "result_format" is specified,
+the value of "result_filter" will be used instead before
+resorting to the default value. This provides compatibility
+with old configuration files.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format!
+.IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
+This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or
+dictionaries. When specified, only fully qualified search
+keys with a *non\-empty* localpart and a matching domain
+are eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
+and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
+reduce the query load on the LDAP server.
+
+.nf
+ domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
+.fi
+
+It is best not to use LDAP to store the domains eligible
+for LDAP lookups.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases.
+
+This feature is available in Postfix 1.0 and later.
+.IP "\fBresult_attribute (default: maildrop)\fR"
+The attribute(s) Postfix will read from any directory
+entries returned by the lookup, to be resolved to an email
+address.
+
+.nf
+ result_attribute = mailbox, maildrop
+.fi
+
+Don't rely on the default value ("maildrop"). Set the
+result_attribute explicitly in all ldap table configuration
+files. This is particularly relevant when no result_attribute
+is applicable, e.g. cases in which leaf_result_attribute and/or
+terminal_result_attribute are used instead. The default value
+is harmless if "maildrop" is also listed as a leaf or terminal
+result attribute, but it is best to not leave this to chance.
+.IP "\fBspecial_result_attribute (default: empty)\fR"
+The attribute(s) of directory entries that can contain DNs
+or RFC 2255 LDAP URLs. If found, a recursive search
+is performed to retrieve the entry referenced by the DN, or
+the entries matched by the URL query.
+
+.nf
+ special_result_attribute = memberdn
+.fi
+
+DN recursion retrieves the same result_attributes as the
+main query, including the special attributes for further
+recursion.
+
+URL processing retrieves only those attributes that are included
+in both the URL definition and as result attributes (ordinary,
+special, leaf or terminal) in the Postfix table definition.
+If the URL lists any of the table's special result attributes,
+these are retrieved and used recursively. A URL that does not
+specify any attribute selection, is equivalent (RFC 2255) to a
+URL that selects all attributes, in which case the selected
+attributes will be the full set of result attributes in the
+Postfix table.
+
+If an LDAP URL attribute\-descriptor or the corresponding Postfix
+LDAP table result attribute (but not both) uses RFC 2255 sub\-type
+options ("attr;option"), the attribute requested from the LDAP server
+will include the sub\-type option. In all other cases, the URL
+attribute and the table attribute must match exactly. Attributes
+with options in both the URL and the Postfix table are requested
+only when the options are identical. LDAP attribute\-descriptor
+options are very rarely used, most LDAP users will not
+need to concern themselves with this level of nuanced detail.
+.IP "\fBterminal_result_attribute (default: empty)\fR"
+When one or more terminal result attributes are found in an LDAP
+entry, all other result attributes are ignored and only the terminal
+result attributes are returned. This is useful for delegating expansion
+of group members to a particular host, by using an optional "maildrop"
+attribute on selected groups to route the group to a specific host,
+where the group is expanded, possibly via mailing\-list manager or
+other special processing.
+
+.nf
+ result_attribute =
+ terminal_result_attribute = maildrop
+.fi
+
+When using terminal and/or leaf result attributes, the
+result_attribute is best set to an empty value when it is not
+used, or else explicitly set to the desired value, even if it is
+the default value "maildrop".
+
+This feature is available with Postfix 2.4 or later.
+.IP "\fBleaf_result_attribute (default: empty)\fR"
+When one or more special result attributes are found in a non\-terminal
+(see above) LDAP entry, leaf result attributes are excluded from the
+expansion of that entry. This is useful when expanding groups and the
+desired mail address attribute(s) of the member objects obtained via
+DN or URI recursion are also present in the group object. To only
+return the attribute values from the leaf objects and not the
+containing group, add the attribute to the leaf_result_attribute list,
+and not the result_attribute list, which is always expanded. Note,
+the default value of "result_attribute" is not empty, you may want to
+set it explicitly empty when using "leaf_result_attribute" to expand
+the group to a list of member DN addresses. If groups have both
+member DN references AND attributes that hold multiple string valued
+rfc822 addresses, then the string attributes go in "result_attribute".
+The attributes that represent the email addresses of objects
+referenced via a DN (or LDAP URI) go in "leaf_result_attribute".
+
+.nf
+ result_attribute = memberaddr
+ special_result_attribute = memberdn
+ terminal_result_attribute = maildrop
+ leaf_result_attribute = mail
+.fi
+
+When using terminal and/or leaf result attributes, the
+result_attribute is best set to an empty value when it is not
+used, or else explicitly set to the desired value, even if it is
+the default value "maildrop".
+
+This feature is available with Postfix 2.4 or later.
+.IP "\fBscope (default: sub)\fR"
+The LDAP search scope: \fBsub\fR, \fBbase\fR, or \fBone\fR.
+These translate into LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE, LDAP_SCOPE_BASE,
+and LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL.
+.IP "\fBbind (default: yes)\fR"
+Whether or how to bind to the LDAP server. Newer LDAP
+implementations don't require clients to bind, which saves
+time. Example:
+
+.nf
+ # Don't bind
+ bind = no
+ # Use SIMPLE bind
+ bind = yes
+ # Use SASL bind
+ bind = sasl
+.fi
+
+Postfix versions prior to 2.8 only support "bind = no" which
+means don't bind, and "bind = yes" which means do a SIMPLE bind.
+Postfix 2.8 and later also supports "bind = SASL" when compiled
+with LDAP SASL support as described in LDAP_README, it also adds
+the synonyms "bind = none" and "bind = simple" for "bind = no"
+and "bind = yes" respectively. See the SASL section below for
+additional parameters available with "bind = sasl".
+
+If you do need to bind, you might consider configuring
+Postfix to connect to the local machine on a port that's
+an SSL tunnel to your LDAP server. If your LDAP server
+doesn't natively support SSL, put a tunnel (wrapper, proxy,
+whatever you want to call it) on that system too. This
+should prevent the password from traversing the network in
+the clear.
+.IP "\fBbind_dn (default: empty)\fR"
+If you do have to bind, do it with this distinguished name. Example:
+
+.nf
+ bind_dn = uid=postfix, dc=your, dc=com
+.fi
+With "bind = sasl" (see above) the DN may be optional for some SASL
+mechanisms, don't specify a DN if not needed.
+.IP "\fBbind_pw (default: empty)\fR"
+The password for the distinguished name above. If you have
+to use this, you probably want to make the map configuration
+file readable only by the Postfix user. When using the
+obsolete ldap:ldapsource syntax, with map parameters in
+main.cf, it is not possible to securely store the bind
+password. This is because main.cf needs to be world readable
+to allow local accounts to submit mail via the sendmail
+command. Example:
+
+.nf
+ bind_pw = postfixpw
+.fi
+With "bind = sasl" (see above) the password may be optional
+for some SASL mechanisms, don't specify a password if not needed.
+.IP "\fBcache (IGNORED with a warning)\fR"
+.IP "\fBcache_expiry (IGNORED with a warning)\fR"
+.IP "\fBcache_size (IGNORED with a warning)\fR"
+The above parameters are NO LONGER SUPPORTED by Postfix.
+Cache support has been dropped from OpenLDAP as of release
+2.1.13.
+.IP "\fBrecursion_limit (default: 1000)\fR"
+A limit on the nesting depth of DN and URL special result
+attribute evaluation. The limit must be a non\-zero positive
+number.
+.IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
+A limit on the total number of result elements returned
+(as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map.
+A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
+temporary error if the limit is exceeded. Setting the
+limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple
+values.
+.IP "\fBsize_limit (default: $expansion_limit)\fR"
+A limit on the number of LDAP entries returned by any single
+LDAP search performed as part of the lookup. A setting of
+0 disables the limit. Expansion of DN and URL references
+involves nested LDAP queries, each of which is separately
+subjected to this limit.
+
+Note: even a single LDAP entry can generate multiple lookup
+results, via multiple result attributes and/or multi\-valued
+result attributes. This limit caps the per search resource
+utilization on the LDAP server, not the final multiplicity
+of the lookup result. It is analogous to the "\-z" option
+of "ldapsearch".
+.IP "\fBdereference (default: 0)\fR"
+When to dereference LDAP aliases. (Note that this has
+nothing do with Postfix aliases.) The permitted values are
+those legal for the OpenLDAP/UM LDAP implementations:
+.RS
+.IP 0
+never
+.IP 1
+when searching

+.IP 3

+See ldap.h or the ldap_open(3) or ldapsearch(1) man pages
+for more information. And if you're using an LDAP package
+that has other possible values, please bring it to the
+attention of the postfix\-users@postfix.org mailing list.
+.IP "\fBchase_referrals (default: 0)\fR"
+Sets (or clears) LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS (requires LDAP version
+3 support).
+.IP "\fBversion (default: 2)\fR"
+Specifies the LDAP protocol version to use.
+.IP "\fBdebuglevel (default: 0)\fR"
+What level to set for debugging in the OpenLDAP libraries.
+.SH "LDAP SASL PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+If you're using the OpenLDAP libraries compiled with SASL
+support, Postfix 2.8 and later built with LDAP SASL support
+as described in LDAP_README can authenticate to LDAP servers
+via SASL.
+
+This enables authentication to the LDAP server via mechanisms
+other than a simple password. The added flexibility has a cost:
+it is no longer practical to set an explicit timeout on the duration
+of an LDAP bind operation. Under adverse conditions, whether a SASL
+bind times out, or if it does, the duration of the timeout is
+determined by the LDAP and SASL libraries.
+
+It is best to use tables that use SASL binds via proxymap(8), this
+way the requesting process can time\-out the proxymap request. This
+also lets you tailer the process environment by overriding the
+proxymap(8) import_environment setting in master.cf(5). Special
+environment settings may be needed to configure GSSAPI credential
+caches or other SASL mechanism specific options. The GSSAPI
+credentials used for LDAP lookups may need to be different than
+say those used for the Postfix SMTP client to authenticate to remote
+servers.
+
+Using SASL mechanisms requires LDAP protocol version 3, the default
+protocol version is 2 for backwards compatibility. You must set
+"version = 3" in addition to "bind = sasl".
+
+The following parameters are relevant to using LDAP with SASL
+.IP "\fBsasl_mechs (default: empty)\fR"
+Space separated list of SASL mechanism(s) to try.
+.IP "\fBsasl_realm (default: empty)\fR"
+SASL Realm to use, if applicable.
+.IP "\fBsasl_authz_id (default: empty)\fR"
+The SASL authorization identity to assert, if applicable.
+.IP "\fBsasl_minssf (default: 0)\fR"
+The minimum required sasl security factor required to establish a
+connection.
+.SH "LDAP SSL AND STARTTLS PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+If you're using the OpenLDAP libraries compiled with SSL
+support, Postfix can connect to LDAP SSL servers and can
+issue the STARTTLS command.
+
+LDAP SSL service can be requested by using a LDAP SSL URL
+in the server_host parameter:
+
+.nf
+ server_host = ldaps://ldap.example.com:636
+.fi
+
+STARTTLS can be turned on with the start_tls parameter:
+
+.nf
+ start_tls = yes
+.fi
+
+Both forms require LDAP protocol version 3, which has to be set
+explicitly with:
+
+.nf
+ version = 3
+.fi
+
+If any of the Postfix programs querying the map is configured in
+master.cf to run chrooted, all the certificates and keys involved
+have to be copied to the chroot jail. Of course, the private keys
+should only be readable by the user "postfix".
+
+The following parameters are relevant to LDAP SSL and STARTTLS:
+.IP "\fBstart_tls (default: no)\fR"
+Whether or not to issue STARTTLS upon connection to the
+server. Don't set this with LDAP SSL (the SSL session is setup
+automatically when the TCP connection is opened).
+.IP "\fBtls_ca_cert_dir (No default; set either this or tls_ca_cert_file)\fR"
+Directory containing X509 Certification Authority certificates
+in PEM format which are to be recognized by the client in
+SSL/TLS connections. The files each contain one CA certificate.
+The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value,
+which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate
+with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be
+different (e.g. 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1 etc). The search is
+performed in the ordering of the extension number, regardless
+of other properties of the certificates. Use the c_rehash
+utility (from the OpenSSL distribution) to create the
+necessary links.
+.IP "\fBtls_ca_cert_file (No default; set either this or tls_ca_cert_dir)\fR"
+File containing the X509 Certification Authority certificates
+in PEM format which are to be recognized by the client in
+SSL/TLS connections. This setting takes precedence over
+tls_ca_cert_dir.
+.IP "\fBtls_cert (No default; you must set this)\fR"
+File containing client's X509 certificate to be used by
+the client in SSL/ TLS connections.
+.IP "\fBtls_key (No default; you must set this)\fR"
+File containing the private key corresponding to the above
+tls_cert.
+.IP "\fBtls_require_cert (default: no)\fR"
+Whether or not to request server's X509 certificate and
+check its validity when establishing SSL/TLS connections.
+The supported values are \fBno\fR and \fByes\fR.
+.sp
+With \fBno\fR, the server certificate trust chain is not checked,
+but with OpenLDAP prior to 2.1.13, the name in the server
+certificate must still match the LDAP server name. With OpenLDAP
+2.0.0 to 2.0.11 the server name is not necessarily what you
+specified, rather it is determined (by reverse lookup) from the
+IP address of the LDAP server connection. With OpenLDAP prior to
+2.0.13, subjectAlternativeName extensions in the LDAP server
+certificate are ignored: the server name must match the subject
+CommonName. The \fBno\fR setting corresponds to the \fBnever\fR
+value of \fBTLS_REQCERT\fR in LDAP client configuration files.
+.sp
+Don't use TLS with OpenLDAP 2.0.x (and especially with x <= 11)
+if you can avoid it.
+.sp
+With \fByes\fR, the server certificate must be issued by a trusted
+CA, and not be expired. The LDAP server name must match one of the
+name(s) found in the certificate (see above for OpenLDAP library
+version dependent behavior). The \fByes\fR setting corresponds to the
+\fBdemand\fR value of \fBTLS_REQCERT\fR in LDAP client configuration
+files.
+.sp
+The "try" and "allow" values of \fBTLS_REQCERT\fR have no equivalents
+here. They are not available with OpenLDAP 2.0, and in any case have
+questionable security properties. Either you want TLS verified LDAP
+connections, or you don't.
+.sp
+The \fByes\fR value only works correctly with Postfix 2.5 and later,
+or with OpenLDAP 2.0. Earlier Postfix releases or later OpenLDAP
+releases don't work together with this setting. Support for LDAP
+over TLS was added to Postfix based on the OpenLDAP 2.0 API.
+.IP "\fBtls_random_file (No default)\fR"
+Path of a file to obtain random bits from when /dev/[u]random
+is not available, to be used by the client in SSL/TLS
+connections.
+.IP "\fBtls_cipher_suite (No default)\fR"
+Cipher suite to use in SSL/TLS negotiations.
+.SH "EXAMPLE"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Here's a basic example for using LDAP to look up local(8)
+aliases.
+Assume that in main.cf, you have:
+
+.nf
+ alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,
+ ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap\-aliases.cf
+.fi
+
+and in ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap\-aliases.cf you have:
+
+.nf
+ server_host = ldap.example.com
+ search_base = dc=example, dc=com
+.fi
+
+Upon receiving mail for a local address "ldapuser" that
+isn't found in the /etc/aliases database, Postfix will
+search the LDAP server listening at port 389 on ldap.example.com.
+It will bind anonymously, search for any directory entries
+whose mailacceptinggeneralid attribute is "ldapuser", read
+the "maildrop" attributes of those found, and build a list
+of their maildrops, which will be treated as RFC822 addresses
+to which the message will be delivered.
+.SH "OBSOLETE MAIN.CF PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+For backwards compatibility with Postfix version 2.0 and earlier,
+LDAP parameters can also be defined in main.cf. Specify
+as LDAP source a name that doesn't begin with a slash or
+a dot. The LDAP parameters will then be accessible as the
+name you've given the source in its definition, an underscore,
+and the name of the parameter. For example, if the map is
+specified as "ldap:\fIldapsource\fR", the "server_host"
+parameter below would be defined in main.cf as
+"\fIldapsource\fR_server_host".
+
+Note: with this form, the passwords for the LDAP sources are
+written in main.cf, which is normally world\-readable. Support
+for this form will be removed in a future Postfix version.
+.SH "OTHER OBSOLETE FEATURES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+For backwards compatibility with the pre
+2.2 LDAP clients, \fBresult_filter\fR can for now be used instead
+of \fBresult_format\fR, when the latter parameter is not also set.
+The new name better reflects the function of the parameter. This

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix LMDB adapter provides access to a persistent,
+memory\-mapped, key\-value store. The database size is limited
+only by the size of the memory address space (typically 31
+or 47 bits on 32\-bit or 64\-bit CPUs, respectively) and by
+the available file system space.
+.SH "REQUESTS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The LMDB adapter supports all Postfix lookup table operations.
+This makes LMDB suitable for Postfix address rewriting,
+routing, access policies, caches, or any information that
+can be stored under a fixed lookup key.
+
+When a transaction fails due to a full database, Postfix
+resizes the database and retries the transaction.
+
+Postfix table lookups may generate partial search keys such
+as domain names without one or more subdomains, network
+addresses without one or more least\-significant octets, or
+email addresses without the localpart, address extension
+or domain portion. This behavior is also found with, for
+example, btree:, hash:, or ldap: tables.
+
+Unlike other flat\-file Postfix databases, changes to
+an LMDB database do not trigger automatic daemon program
+restart, and do not require "\fBpostfix reload\fR".
+.SH "RELIABILITY"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+LMDB's copy\-on\-write architecture provides safe updates,
+at the cost of using more space than some other flat\-file
+databases. Read operations are memory\-mapped for speed.
+Write operations are not memory\-mapped to avoid silent
+corruption due to stray pointer bugs.
+
+Multiple processes can safely update an LMDB database without
+serializing requests through the proxymap(8) service. This
+makes LMDB suitable as a shared cache for verify(8) or
+postscreen(8) services.
+.SH "SYNCHRONIZATION"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix LMDB adapter does not use LMDB's built\-in locking
+scheme, because that would require world\-writable lockfiles
+and would violate the Postfix security model. Instead,
+Postfix uses fcntl(2) locks with whole\-file granularity.
+Programs that use LMDB's built\-in locking protocol will
+corrupt a Postfix LMDB database or will read garbage.
+
+Every Postfix LMDB database read or write transaction must
+be protected from start to end with a shared or exclusive
+fcntl(2) lock. A writer may atomically downgrade an exclusive
+lock to a shared lock, but it must hold an exclusive lock
+while opening another write transaction.
+
+Note that fcntl(2) locks do not protect transactions within
+the same process against each other. If a program cannot
+avoid making simultaneous database requests, then it must
+protect its transactions with in\-process locks, in addition
+to the per\-process fcntl(2) locks.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS"

+.SH NAME

+\-
+Postfix master process configuration file format
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system is implemented by small number of
+(mostly) client commands that are invoked by users, and by
+a larger number of services that run in the background.
+
+Postfix services are implemented by daemon processes. These
+run in the background under control of the \fBmaster\fR(8)
+process. The master.cf configuration file defines how a
+client program connects to a service, and what daemon
+program runs when a service is requested. Most daemon
+processes are short\-lived and terminate voluntarily after
+serving \fBmax_use\fR clients, or after inactivity for
+\fBmax_idle\fR or more units of time.
+
+All daemons specified here must speak a Postfix\-internal
+protocol. In order to execute non\-Postfix software use the
+\fBlocal\fR(8), \fBpipe\fR(8) or \fBspawn\fR(8) services, or
+run the server under control by \fBinetd\fR(8) or equivalent.
+.PP
+After changing master.cf you must execute "\fBpostfix reload\fR"
+to reload the configuration.
+.SH "SYNTAX"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The general format of the master.cf file is as follows:
+.IP \(bu
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as are
+lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP \(bu
+A logical line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.IP \(bu
+Each logical line defines a single Postfix service.
+Each service is identified by its name and type as described
+below. When multiple lines specify the same service name
+and type, only the last one is remembered. Otherwise, the
+order of master.cf service definitions does not matter.
+.PP
+Each logical line consists of eight fields separated by
+whitespace. These are described below in the order as they
+appear in the master.cf file.
+
+Where applicable a field of "\-" requests that the built\-in
+default value be used. For boolean fields specify "y" or
+"n" to override the default value.
+.IP "\fBService name\fR"
+The service name syntax depends on the service type as
+described next.
+.IP "\fBService type\fR"
+Specify one of the following service types:
+.RS
+.IP \fBinet\fR
+The service listens on a TCP/IP socket and is accessible
+via the network.
+
+The service name is specified as \fIhost:port\fR, denoting
+the host and port on which new connections should be
+accepted. The host part (and colon) may be omitted. Either
+host or port may be given in symbolic form (see \fBhosts\fR(5) or
+\fBservices\fR(5)) or in numeric form (IP address or port number).
+Host information may be enclosed inside "[]"; this form
+is necessary only with IPv6 addresses.
+.sp
+Examples: a service named \fB127.0.0.1:smtp\fR or \fB::1:smtp\fR
+receives
+mail via the loopback interface only; and a service named
+\fB10025\fR accepts connections on TCP port 10025 via
+all interfaces configured with the \fBinet_interfaces\fR
+parameter.
+
+.sp
+Note: with Postfix version 2.2 and later specify
+"\fBinet_interfaces = loopback\-only\fR" in main.cf, instead
+of hard\-coding loopback IP address information in master.cf
+or in main.cf.
+.IP \fBunix\fR
+The service listens on a UNIX\-domain stream socket and is
+accessible for local clients only.
+
+The service name is a pathname relative to the Postfix
+queue directory (pathname controlled with the \fBqueue_directory\fR
+configuration parameter in main.cf).
+.sp
+On Solaris 8 and earlier systems the \fBunix\fR type is
+implemented with streams sockets.
+.IP \fBunix\-dgram\fR
+The service listens on a UNIX\-domain datagram socket and is
+accessible for local clients only.
+
+The service name is a pathname relative to the Postfix
+queue directory (pathname controlled with the \fBqueue_directory\fR
+configuration parameter in main.cf).
+.IP "\fBfifo\fR (obsolete)"
+The service listens on a FIFO (named pipe) and is accessible
+for local clients only.
+
+The service name is a pathname relative to the Postfix
+queue directory (pathname controlled with the \fBqueue_directory\fR
+configuration parameter in main.cf).
+.IP \fBpass\fR
+The service listens on a UNIX\-domain stream socket, and is
+accessible to local clients only. It receives one open
+connection (file descriptor passing) per connection request.
+
+The service name is a pathname relative to the Postfix
+queue directory (pathname controlled with the \fBqueue_directory\fR
+configuration parameter in main.cf).
+.sp
+On Solaris 8 and earlier systems the \fBpass\fR type is
+implemented with streams sockets.
+
+This feature is available as of Postfix version 2.5.
+.RE
+.IP "\fBPrivate (default: y)\fR"
+Whether or not access is restricted to the mail system.
+Internet (type \fBinet\fR) services can't be private.
+.IP "\fBUnprivileged (default: y)\fR"
+Whether the service runs with root privileges or as the
+owner of the Postfix system (the owner name is controlled
+by the \fBmail_owner\fR configuration variable in the
+main.cf file).
+.sp
+The \fBlocal\fR(8), \fBpipe\fR(8), \fBspawn\fR(8), and
+\fBvirtual\fR(8) daemons require privileges.
+.IP "\fBChroot (default: Postfix >= 3.0: n, Postfix <3.0: y)\fR"
+Whether or not the service runs chrooted to the mail queue
+directory (pathname is controlled by the \fBqueue_directory\fR
+configuration variable in the main.cf file).
+.sp
+Chroot should not be used with the \fBlocal\fR(8),
+\fBpipe\fR(8), \fBspawn\fR(8), and \fBvirtual\fR(8) daemons.
+Although the
+\fBproxymap\fR(8) server can run chrooted, doing so defeats
+most of the purpose of having that service in the first
+place.
+.sp
+The files in the examples/chroot\-setup subdirectory of the
+Postfix source show how to set up a Postfix chroot environment
+on a variety of systems. See also BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README
+for issues related to running daemons chrooted.
+.IP "\fBWake up time (default: 0)\fR"
+Automatically wake up the named service after the specified
+number of seconds. The wake up is implemented by connecting
+to the service and sending a wake up request. A ? at the
+end of the wake\-up time field requests that no wake up
+events be sent before the first time a service is used.
+Specify 0 for no automatic wake up.
+.sp
+The \fBpickup\fR(8), \fBqmgr\fR(8) and \fBflush\fR(8)
+daemons require a wake up timer.
+.IP "\fBProcess limit (default: $default_process_limit)\fR"
+The maximum number of processes that may execute this
+service simultaneously. Specify 0 for no process count limit.
+.sp
+NOTE: Some Postfix services must be configured as a
+single\-process service (for example, \fBqmgr\fR(8)) and
+some services must be configured with no process limit (for
+example, \fBcleanup\fR(8)). These limits must not be
+changed.
+.IP "\fBCommand name + arguments\fR"
+The command to be executed. Characters that are special
+to the shell such as ">" or "|" have no special meaning
+here, and quotes cannot be used to protect arguments
+containing whitespace. To protect whitespace, use "{"
+and "}" as described below.
+.sp
+The command name is relative to the Postfix daemon directory
+(pathname is controlled by the \fBdaemon_directory\fR
+configuration variable).
+.sp
+The command argument syntax for specific commands is
+specified in the respective daemon manual page.
+.sp
+The following command\-line options have the same effect for
+all daemon programs:
+.RS
+.IP \fB\-D\fR
+Run the daemon under control by the command specified with
+the \fBdebugger_command\fR variable in the main.cf
+configuration file. See DEBUG_README for hints and tips.
+.IP "\fB\-o { \fIname\fR = \fIvalue\fB }\fR (long form, Postfix >= 3.0)"
+.IP "\fB\-o \fIname\fR=\fIvalue\fR (short form)"
+Override the named main.cf configuration parameter. The
+parameter value can refer to other parameters as \fI$name\fR
+etc., just like in main.cf. See \fBpostconf\fR(5) for
+syntax.
+.sp
+NOTE 1: With the "long form" shown above, whitespace
+after "{", around "=", and before "}" is ignored, and
+whitespace within the parameter value is preserved.
+.sp
+NOTE 2: with the "short form" shown above, do not specify
+whitespace around the "=" or in
+parameter values. To specify a parameter value that contains
+whitespace, use the long form described above, or use commas
+instead of spaces, or specify the value in main.cf. Example:
+.sp
+.nf
+/etc/postfix/master.cf:
+ submission inet .... smtpd
+ \-o smtpd_xxx_yyy=$submission_xxx_yyy
+.sp
+/etc/postfix/main.cf
+ submission_xxx_yyy = text with whitespace...
+.fi
+.sp
+NOTE 3: Over\-zealous use of parameter overrides makes the

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
+rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
+\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+
+Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as memcache
+instances. To use memcache lookups, define a memcache
+source as a lookup table in main.cf, for example:
+
+.nf
+ virtual_alias_maps = memcache:/etc/postfix/memcache\-aliases.cf
+.fi
+
+The file /etc/postfix/memcache\-aliases.cf has the same
+format as the Postfix main.cf file, and specifies the
+parameters described below.
+
+The Postfix memcache client supports the lookup, update,
+delete and sequence (first/next) operations. The sequence
+operation requires a backup database that supports the
+operation.
+.SH "MEMCACHE MAIN PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP "\fBmemcache (default: inet:localhost:11211)\fR"
+The memcache server (note: singular) that Postfix will try
+to connect to. For a TCP server specify "inet:" followed by
+a hostname or address, ":", and a port name or number.
+Specify an IPv6 address inside "[]".
+For a UNIX\-domain server specify "unix:" followed by the
+socket pathname. Examples:
+
+.nf
+ memcache = inet:memcache.example.com:11211
+ memcache = inet:127.0.0.1:11211
+ memcache = inet:[fc00:8d00:189::3]:11211
+ memcache = unix:/path/to/socket
+.fi
+
+NOTE: to access a UNIX\-domain socket with the proxymap(8)
+server, the socket must be accessible by the unprivileged
+postfix user.
+.IP "\fBbackup (default: undefined)\fR"
+An optional Postfix database that provides persistent backup
+for the memcache database. The Postfix memcache client will
+update the memcache database whenever it looks up or changes
+information in the persistent database. Specify a Postfix
+"type:table" database. Examples:
+
+.nf
+ # Non\-shared postscreen cache.
+ backup = btree:/var/lib/postfix/postscreen_cache_map
+
+ # Shared postscreen cache for processes on the same host.
+ backup = proxy:btree:/var/lib/postfix/postscreen_cache_map
+.fi
+
+Access to remote proxymap servers is under development.
+
+NOTE 1: When sharing a persistent \fBpostscreen\fR(8) or
+\fBverify\fR(8) cache, disable automatic cache cleanup (set
+*_cache_cleanup_interval = 0) except with one Postfix
+instance that will be responsible for cache cleanup.
+
+NOTE 2: When multiple tables share the same memcache
+database, each table should use the \fBkey_format\fR feature
+(see below) to prepend its own unique string to the lookup
+key. Otherwise, automatic \fBpostscreen\fR(8) or \fBverify\fR(8)
+cache cleanup may not work.
+
+NOTE 3: When the backup database is accessed with "proxy:"
+lookups, the full backup database name (including the
+"proxy:" prefix) must be specified in the proxymap server's
+proxy_read_maps or proxy_write_maps setting (depending on
+whether the access is read\-only or read\-write).
+.IP "\fBflags (default: 0)\fR"
+Optional flags that should be stored along with a memcache
+update. The flags are ignored when looking up information.
+.IP "\fBttl (default: 3600)\fR"
+The expiration time in seconds of memcache updates.
+
+NOTE 1: When using a memcache table as \fBpostscreen\fR(8)
+or \fBverify\fR(8) cache without persistent backup, specify
+a zero *_cache_cleanup_interval value with all Postfix
+instances that use the memcache, and specify the largest
+\fBpostscreen\fR(8) *_ttl value or \fBverify\fR(8) *_expire_time
+value as the memcache table's \fBttl\fR value.
+
+NOTE 2: According to memcache protocol documentation, a
+value greater than 30 days (2592000 seconds) specifies
+absolute UNIX
+time. Smaller values are relative to the time of the update.
+.SH "MEMCACHE KEY PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP "\fBkey_format (default: %s)\fB"
+Format of the lookup and update keys that the Postfix
+memcache client sends to the memcache server.
+By default, these are the same as the lookup and update
+keys that the memcache client receives from Postfix
+applications.
+
+NOTE 1: The \fBkey_format\fR feature is not used for \fBbackup\fR
+database requests.
+
+NOTE 2: When multiple tables share the same memcache
+database, each table should prepend its own unique string
+to the lookup key. Otherwise, automatic \fBpostscreen\fR(8)
+or \fBverify\fR(8) cache cleanup may not work.
+
+Examples:
+
+.nf
+ key_format = aliases:%s
+ key_format = verify:%s
+ key_format = postscreen:%s
+.fi
+
+The \fBkey_format\fR parameter supports the following '%'
+expansions:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB%%\fR"
+This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
+.IP "\fB%s\fR"
+This is replaced by the memcache client input key.
+.IP "\fB%u\fR"
+When the input key is an address of the form user@domain,
+\fB%u\fR is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the
+address. Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire
+search string. If the localpart is empty, a lookup is
+silently suppressed and returns no results (an update is
+skipped with a warning).
+.IP "\fB%d\fR"
+When the input key is an address of the form user@domain,
+\fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of the address.
+Otherwise, a lookup is silently suppressed and returns no
+results (an update is skipped with a warning).
+.IP "\fB%[SUD]\fR"
+The upper\-case equivalents of the above expansions behave
+in the \fBkey_format\fR parameter identically to their
+lower\-case counter\-parts.
+.IP "\fB%[1\-9]\fR"
+The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
+most significant component of the input key's domain. If
+the input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is
+\fBcom\fR, %2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR. If the
+input key is unqualified or does not have enough domain
+components to satisfy all the specified patterns, a lookup
+is silently suppressed and returns no results (an update
+is skipped with a warning).
+.RE
+.IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
+This feature can significantly reduce database server load.
+Specify a list of domain names, paths to files, or "type:table"
+databases.
+When specified, only fully qualified search keys with a
+*non\-empty* localpart and a matching domain are eligible
+for lookup or update: bare 'user' lookups, bare domain
+lookups and "@domain" lookups are silently skipped (updates
+are skipped with a warning). Example:
+
+.nf
+ domain = example.com, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
+.fi
+.SH "MEMCACHE ERROR CONTROLS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP "\fBdata_size_limit (default: 10240)\fR"
+The maximal memcache reply data length in bytes.
+.IP "\fBline_size_limit (default: 1024)\fR"
+The maximal memcache reply line length in bytes.
+.IP "\fBmax_try (default: 2)\fR"
+The number of times to try a memcache command before giving
+up. The memcache client does not retry a command when the
+memcache server accepts no connection.
+.IP "\fBretry_pause (default: 1)\fR"
+The time in seconds before retrying a failed memcache command.
+.IP "\fBtimeout (default: 2)\fR"
+The time limit for sending a memcache command and for
+receiving a memcache reply.
+.SH BUGS
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix memcache client cannot be used for security\-sensitive
+tables such as \fBalias_maps\fR (these may contain
+"\fI|command\fR and "\fI/file/name\fR" destinations), or
+\fBvirtual_uid_maps\fR, \fBvirtual_gid_maps\fR and
+\fBvirtual_mailbox_maps\fR (these specify UNIX process
+privileges or "\fI/file/name\fR" destinations). In a typical
+deployment a memcache database is writable by any process
+that can talk to the memcache server; in contrast,
+security\-sensitive tables must never be writable by the
+unprivileged Postfix user.
+
+The Postfix memcache client requires additional configuration
+when used as \fBpostscreen\fR(8) or \fBverify\fR(8) cache.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
+rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
+\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+
+Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as MySQL databases.
+In order to use MySQL lookups, define a MySQL source as a lookup
+table in main.cf, for example:
+.nf
+ alias_maps = mysql:/etc/mysql\-aliases.cf
+.fi
+
+The file /etc/postfix/mysql\-aliases.cf has the same format as
+the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters
+described below.
+.SH "LIST MEMBERSHIP"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+When using SQL to store lists such as $mynetworks,
+$mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps,
+etc., it is important to understand that the table must
+store each list member as a separate key. The table lookup
+verifies the *existence* of the key. See "Postfix lists
+versus tables" in the DATABASE_README document for a
+discussion.
+
+Do NOT create tables that return the full list of domains
+in $mydestination or $relay_domains etc., or IP addresses
+in $mynetworks.
+
+DO create tables with each matching item as a key and with
+an arbitrary value. With SQL databases it is not uncommon to
+return the key itself or a constant value.
+.SH "MYSQL PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP "\fBhosts\fR"
+The hosts that Postfix will try to connect to and query from.
+Specify \fIunix:\fR for UNIX domain sockets, \fIinet:\fR for TCP
+connections (default). Example:
+.nf
+ hosts = host1.some.domain host2.some.domain:port
+ hosts = unix:/file/name
+.fi
+
+The hosts are tried in random order, with all connections over
+UNIX domain sockets being tried before those over TCP. The
+connections are automatically closed after being idle for about
+1 minute, and are re\-opened as necessary. Postfix versions 2.0
+and earlier do not randomize the host order.
+
+NOTE: if you specify localhost as a hostname (even if you
+prefix it with \fIinet:\fR), MySQL will connect to the default
+UNIX domain socket. In order to instruct MySQL to connect to
+localhost over TCP you have to specify
+.nf
+ hosts = 127.0.0.1
+.fi
+.IP "\fBuser, password\fR"
+The user name and password to log into the mysql server.
+Example:
+.nf
+ user = someone
+ password = some_password
+.fi
+.IP "\fBdbname\fR"
+The database name on the servers. Example:
+.nf
+ dbname = customer_database
+.fi
+.IP "\fBquery\fR"
+The SQL query template used to search the database, where \fB%s\fR
+is a substitute for the address Postfix is trying to resolve,
+e.g.
+.nf
+ query = SELECT replacement FROM aliases WHERE mailbox = '%s'
+.fi
+
+By default, every query must return a result set (instead
+of storing its results in a table); with "\fBrequire_result_set
+= no\fR" (Postfix 3.2 and later), the absence of a result
+set is treated as "not found".
+
+This parameter supports the following '%' expansions:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB%%\fR"
+This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
+.IP "\fB%s\fR"
+This is replaced by the input key.
+SQL quoting is used to make sure that the input key does not
+add unexpected metacharacters.
+.IP "\fB%u\fR"
+When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%u\fR
+is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the address.
+Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire search string.
+If the localpart is empty, the query is suppressed and returns
+no results.
+.IP "\fB%d\fR"
+When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%d\fR
+is replaced by the SQL quoted domain part of the address.
+Otherwise, the query is suppressed and returns no results.
+.IP "\fB%[SUD]\fR"
+The upper\-case equivalents of the above expansions behave in the
+\fBquery\fR parameter identically to their lower\-case counter\-parts.
+With the \fBresult_format\fR parameter (see below), they expand the
+input key rather than the result value.
+.IP "\fB%[1\-9]\fR"
+The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
+most significant component of the input key's domain. If the
+input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is \fBcom\fR,
+%2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR. If the input key is
+unqualified or does not have enough domain components to satisfy
+all the specified patterns, the query is suppressed and returns
+no results.
+.RE
+.IP
+The \fBdomain\fR parameter described below limits the input
+keys to addresses in matching domains. When the \fBdomain\fR
+parameter is non\-empty, SQL queries for unqualified addresses
+or addresses in non\-matching domains are suppressed
+and return no results.
+
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2. In prior releases
+the SQL query was built from the separate parameters:
+\fBselect_field\fR, \fBtable\fR, \fBwhere_field\fR and
+\fBadditional_conditions\fR. The mapping from the old parameters
+to the equivalent query is:
+
+.nf
+ SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
+ FROM [\fBtable\fR]
+ WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
+ [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
+.fi
+
+The '%s' in the \fBWHERE\fR clause expands to the escaped search string.
+With Postfix 2.2 these legacy parameters are used if the \fBquery\fR
+parameter is not specified.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the query parameter.
+.IP "\fBresult_format (default: \fB%s\fR)\fR"
+Format template applied to result attributes. Most commonly used
+to append (or prepend) text to the result. This parameter supports
+the following '%' expansions:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB%%\fR"
+This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
+.IP "\fB%s\fR"
+This is replaced by the value of the result attribute. When
+result is empty it is skipped.
+.IP "\fB%u\fR
+When the result attribute value is an address of the form
+user@domain, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the
+address. When the result has an empty localpart it is skipped.
+.IP "\fB%d\fR"
+When a result attribute value is an address of the form
+user@domain, \fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of
+the attribute value. When the result is unqualified it
+is skipped.
+.IP "\fB%[SUD1\-9]\fR"
+The upper\-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate
+the parts of the input key rather than the result. Their
+behavior is identical to that described with \fBquery\fR,
+and in fact because the input key is known in advance, queries
+whose key does not contain all the information specified in
+the result template are suppressed and return no results.
+.RE
+.IP
+For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
+to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
+table. After applying the result format, multiple values
+are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
+and parameter explained below allows one to restrict the number
+of values in the result, which is especially useful for maps that
+must return at most one value.
+
+The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each result value should
+be used as is.
+
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format!
+.IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
+This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or
+dictionaries. When specified, only fully qualified search
+keys with a *non\-empty* localpart and a matching domain
+are eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
+and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
+reduce the query load on the MySQL server.
+.nf
+ domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
+.fi
+
+It is best not to use SQL to store the domains eligible
+for SQL lookups.
+
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases,
+because the input keys are always unqualified.
+.IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
+A limit on the total number of result elements returned
+(as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map.
+A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
+temporary error if the limit is exceeded. Setting the
+limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple
+values.
+.IP "\fBoption_file\fR"
+Read options from the given file instead of the default my.cnf
+location. This reads options from the \fB[client]\fR option
+group, optionally followed by options from the group given
+with \fBoption_group\fR.
+.sp
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.IP "\fBoption_group (default: Postfix >=3.2: client, <= 3.1: empty)\fR"
+Read options from the given group of the mysql options file,
+after reading options from the \fB[client]\fR group.
+.sp
+Postfix 3.2 and later read \fB[client]\fR option group
+settings by default. To disable this specify no \fBoption_file\fR
+and specify "\fBoption_group =\fR" (i.e. an empty value).
+.sp
+Postfix 3.1 and earlier don't read \fB[client]\fR option
+group settings unless a non\-empty \fBoption_file\fR or
+\fBoption_group\fR value are specified. To enable this,
+specify, for example, "\fBoption_group = client\fR".
+.sp
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.IP "\fBrequire_result_set (default: yes)\fR"
+If "\fByes\fR", require that every query returns a result
+set. If "\fBno\fR", treat the absence of a result set as
+"not found".
+.sp
+This parameter is available with Postfix 3.2 and later.
+.IP "\fBtls_cert_file\fR"
+File containing client's X509 certificate.
+.sp
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.IP "\fBtls_key_file\fR"
+File containing the private key corresponding to \fBtls_cert_file\fR.
+.sp
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.IP "\fBtls_CAfile\fR"
+File containing certificates for all of the X509 Certification
+Authorities the client will recognize. Takes precedence over
+\fBtls_CApath\fR.
+.sp
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.IP "\fBtls_CApath\fR"
+Directory containing X509 Certification Authority certificates
+in separate individual files.
+.sp
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.IP "\fBtls_verify_cert (default: no)\fR"
+Verify that the server's name matches the common name in the
+certificate.
+.sp
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.SH "USING MYSQL STORED PROCEDURES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Postfix 3.2 and later support calling a stored procedure
+instead of using a SELECT statement in the query, e.g.
+
+.nf
+ \fBquery\fR = CALL lookup('%s')
+.fi
+
+The previously described '%' expansions can be used in the
+parameter(s) to the stored procedure.
+
+By default, every stored procedure call must return a result
+set, i.e. every code path must execute a SELECT statement
+that returns a result set (instead of storing its results
+in a table). With "\fBrequire_result_set = no\fR", the
+absence of a result set is treated as "not found".
+
+A stored procedure must not return multiple result sets.
+That is, there must be no code path that executes multiple
+SELECT statements that return a result (instead of storing
+their results in a table).
+
+The following is an example of a stored procedure returning
+a single result set:
+
+.nf
+CREATE [DEFINER=`user`@`host`] PROCEDURE
+`lookup`(IN `param` VARCHAR(255))
+ READS SQL DATA
+ SQL SECURITY INVOKER
+ BEGIN
+ select goto from alias where address=param;
+ END
+.fi
+.SH "OBSOLETE MAIN.CF PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+For compatibility with other Postfix lookup tables, MySQL
+parameters can also be defined in main.cf. In order to do that,
+specify as MySQL source a name that doesn't begin with a slash
+or a dot. The MySQL parameters will then be accessible as the
+name you've given the source in its definition, an underscore,
+and the name of the parameter. For example, if the map is
+specified as "mysql:\fImysqlname\fR", the parameter "hosts"
+would be defined in main.cf as "\fImysqlname\fR_hosts".
+
+Note: with this form, the passwords for the MySQL sources are
+written in main.cf, which is normally world\-readable. Support
+for this form will be removed in a future Postfix version.
+.SH "OBSOLETE QUERY INTERFACE"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes an interface that is deprecated as
+of Postfix 2.2. It is replaced by the more general \fBquery\fR
+interface described above. If the \fBquery\fR parameter
+is defined, the legacy parameters described here ignored.
+Please migrate to the new interface as the legacy interface
+may be removed in a future release.
+
+The following parameters can be used to fill in a
+SELECT template statement of the form:
+
+.nf
+ SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
+ FROM [\fBtable\fR]
+ WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
+ [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
+.fi
+
+The specifier %s is replaced by the search string, and is
+escaped so if it contains single quotes or other odd characters,
+it will not cause a parse error, or worse, a security problem.
+.IP "\fBselect_field\fR"
+The SQL "select" parameter. Example:
+.nf
+ \fBselect_field\fR = forw_addr
+.fi
+.IP "\fBtable\fR"
+The SQL "select .. from" table name. Example:
+.nf
+ \fBtable\fR = mxaliases
+.fi
+.IP "\fBwhere_field\fR
+The SQL "select .. where" parameter. Example:
+.nf
+ \fBwhere_field\fR = alias

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional lookup tables.
+These tables are usually in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as NIS+
+databases.
+
+To find out what types of lookup tables your Postfix system
+supports use the "\fBpostconf \-m\fR" command.
+
+To test Postfix NIS+ lookup tables, use the "\fBpostmap \-q\fR"
+command as described in the SYNOPSIS above.
+.SH "QUERY SYNTAX"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Most of the NIS+ query is specified via the NIS+ map name. The
+general format of a Postfix NIS+ map name is as follows:
+
+.fi
+ \fBnisplus:[\fIname\fB=%s];\fIname.name.name\fB.:\fIcolumn\fR
+.fi
+
+Postfix NIS+ map names differ from what one normally
+would use with commands such as \fBniscat\fR:
+.IP \(bu
+With each NIS+ table lookup, "\fB%s\fR" is replaced by a
+version of the lookup string. There can be only one
+"\fB%s\fR" instance in a Postfix NIS+ map name.
+.IP \(bu
+Postfix NIS+ map names use "\fB;\fR" instead of "\fB,\fR",
+because the latter character is special in the Postfix
+main.cf file. Postfix replaces "\fB;\fR" characters in
+the map name by "\fB,\fR" before making NIS+ queries.
+.IP \(bu
+The ":\fIcolumn\fR" part in the NIS+ map name is not part
+of the actual NIS+ query. Instead, it specifies the number
+of the table column that provides the lookup result. When
+no ":\fIcolumn\fR" is specified the first column (1) is used.
+.SH "EXAMPLE"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+A NIS+ aliases map might be queried as follows:
+
+.nf
+ alias_maps = dbm:/etc/mail/aliases,
+ nisplus:[alias=%s];mail_aliases.org_dir.$mydomain.:1
+.fi
+
+This queries the local aliases file before the NIS+ file.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
+rewriting, mail routing, or access control. These tables
+are usually in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+
+Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified in Perl Compatible
+Regular Expression form. In this case, each input is compared
+against a list of patterns. When a match is found, the
+corresponding result is returned and the search is terminated.
+
+To find out what types of lookup tables your Postfix system
+supports use the "\fBpostconf \-m\fR" command.
+
+To test lookup tables, use the "\fBpostmap \-q\fR" command
+as described in the SYNOPSIS above. Use "\fBpostmap \-hmq
+\-\fR <\fIfile\fR" for header_checks(5) patterns, and
+"\fBpostmap \-bmq \-\fR <\fIfile\fR" for body_checks(5)
+(Postfix 2.6 and later).
+.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+With Postfix version 2.2 and earlier specify "\fBpostmap
+\-fq\fR" to query a table that contains case sensitive
+patterns. Patterns are case insensitive by default.
+.SH "TABLE FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The general form of a PCRE table is:
+.IP "\fB/\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags result\fR"
+When \fIpattern\fR matches the input string, use
+the corresponding \fIresult\fR value.
+.IP "\fB!/\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags result\fR"
+When \fIpattern\fR does \fBnot\fR match the input string, use
+the corresponding \fIresult\fR value.
+.IP "\fBif /\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags\fR"
+.IP "\fBendif\fR"
+If the input string matches /\fIpattern\fR/, then match that
+input string against the patterns between \fBif\fR and
+\fBendif\fR. The \fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR can nest.
+.sp
+Note: do not prepend whitespace to patterns inside
+\fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.IP "\fBif !/\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags\fR"
+.IP "\fBendif\fR"
+If the input string does not match /\fIpattern\fR/, then
+match that input string against the patterns between \fBif\fR
+and \fBendif\fR. The \fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR can nest.
+.sp
+Note: do not prepend whitespace to patterns inside
+\fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.IP "blank lines and comments"
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as
+are lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP "multi\-line text"
+A logical line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.PP
+Each pattern is a perl\-like regular expression. The expression
+delimiter can be any non\-alphanumerical character, except
+whitespace or characters
+that have special meaning (traditionally the forward slash is used).
+The regular expression can contain whitespace.
+
+By default, matching is case\-insensitive, and newlines are not
+treated as special characters. The behavior is controlled by flags,
+which are toggled by appending one or more of the following
+characters after the pattern:
+.IP "\fBi\fR (default: on)"
+Toggles the case sensitivity flag. By default, matching is case
+insensitive.
+.IP "\fBm\fR (default: off)"
+Toggles the PCRE_MULTILINE flag. When this flag is on, the \fB^\fR
+and \fB$\fR metacharacters match immediately after and immediately
+before a newline character, respectively, in addition to
+matching at the start and end of the subject string.
+.IP "\fBs\fR (default: on)"
+Toggles the PCRE_DOTALL flag. When this flag is on, the \fB.\fR
+metacharacter matches the newline character. With
+Postfix versions prior to 2.0, the flag is off by
+default, which is inconvenient for multi\-line message header
+matching.
+.IP "\fBx\fR (default: off)"
+Toggles the pcre extended flag. When this flag is on, whitespace
+characters in the pattern (other than in a character class)
+are ignored. To include a whitespace character as part of
+the pattern, escape it with backslash.
+.sp
+Note: do not use \fB#\fIcomment\fR after patterns.
+.IP "\fBA\fR (default: off)"
+Toggles the PCRE_ANCHORED flag. When this flag is on,
+the pattern is forced to be "anchored", that is, it is
+constrained to match only at the start of the string which
+is being searched (the "subject string"). This effect can
+also be achieved by appropriate constructs in the pattern
+itself.
+.IP "\fBE\fR (default: off)"
+Toggles the PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY flag. When this flag is on,
+a \fB$\fR metacharacter in the pattern matches only at the
+end of the subject string. Without this flag, a dollar also
+matches immediately before the final character if it is a
+newline character (but not before any other newline
+characters). This flag is ignored if PCRE_MULTILINE
+flag is set.
+.IP "\fBU\fR (default: off)"
+Toggles the ungreedy matching flag. When this flag is on,
+the pattern matching engine inverts the "greediness" of
+the quantifiers so that they are not greedy by default,
+but become greedy if followed by "?". This flag can also
+set by a (?U) modifier within the pattern.
+.IP "\fBX\fR (default: off)"
+Toggles the PCRE_EXTRA flag.
+When this flag is on, any backslash in a pattern that is
+followed by a letter that has no special meaning causes an
+error, thus reserving these combinations for future expansion.
+.SH "SEARCH ORDER"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+pattern is found that matches the input string.
+
+Each pattern is applied to the entire input string.
+Depending on the application, that string is an entire client
+hostname, an entire client IP address, or an entire mail address.
+Thus, no parent domain or parent network search is done, and
+\fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not broken up into their
+\fIuser\fR and \fIdomain\fR constituent parts, nor is \fIuser+foo\fR
+broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+.SH "TEXT SUBSTITUTION"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Substitution of substrings (text that matches patterns
+inside "()") from the matched expression into the result
+string is requested with $1, $2, etc.; specify $$ to produce
+a $ character as output.
+The macros in the result string may need to be written as
+${n} or $(n) if they aren't followed by whitespace.
+
+Note: since negated patterns (those preceded by \fB!\fR) return a
+result when the expression does not match, substitutions are not
+available for negated patterns.
+.SH "EXAMPLE SMTPD ACCESS MAP"
+.na
+.nf
+# Protect your outgoing majordomo exploders
+/^(?!owner\-)(.*)\-outgoing@(.*)/ 550 Use ${1}@${2} instead

+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
+rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
+\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+
+Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as PostgreSQL
+databases. In order to use PostgreSQL lookups, define a
+PostgreSQL source as a lookup table in main.cf, for example:
+.nf
+ alias_maps = pgsql:/etc/pgsql\-aliases.cf
+.fi
+
+The file /etc/postfix/pgsql\-aliases.cf has the same format as
+the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters
+described below.
+.SH "LIST MEMBERSHIP"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+When using SQL to store lists such as $mynetworks,
+$mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps,
+etc., it is important to understand that the table must
+store each list member as a separate key. The table lookup
+verifies the *existence* of the key. See "Postfix lists
+versus tables" in the DATABASE_README document for a
+discussion.
+
+Do NOT create tables that return the full list of domains
+in $mydestination or $relay_domains etc., or IP addresses
+in $mynetworks.
+
+DO create tables with each matching item as a key and with
+an arbitrary value. With SQL databases it is not uncommon to
+return the key itself or a constant value.
+.SH "PGSQL PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP "\fBhosts\fR"
+The hosts that Postfix will try to connect to and query
+from. Besides a \fBpostgresql://\fR connection URI, this
+setting supports the historical forms \fBunix:/\fIpathname\fR
+for UNIX\-domain sockets and \fBinet:\fIhost:port\fR for TCP
+connections, where the \fBunix:\fR and \fBinet:\fR prefixes
+are accepted and ignored for backwards compatibility.
+Examples:
+.nf
+ hosts = postgresql://username@example.com/tablename?sslmode=require
+ hosts = host1.some.domain host2.some.domain:port
+ hosts = unix:/file/name
+.fi
+
+The hosts are tried in random order. The connections are
+automatically closed after being idle for about 1 minute,
+and are re\-opened as necessary.
+.IP "\fBuser, password\fR"
+The user name and password to log into the pgsql server.
+Example:
+.nf
+ user = someone
+ password = some_password
+.fi
+.IP "\fBdbname\fR"
+The database name on the servers. Example:
+.nf
+ dbname = customer_database
+.fi
+.IP "\fBquery\fR"
+The SQL query template used to search the database, where \fB%s\fR
+is a substitute for the address Postfix is trying to resolve,
+e.g.
+.nf
+ query = SELECT replacement FROM aliases WHERE mailbox = '%s'
+.fi
+
+This parameter supports the following '%' expansions:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB%%\fR"
+This is replaced by a literal '%' character. (Postfix 2.2 and later)
+.IP "\fB%s\fR"
+This is replaced by the input key.
+SQL quoting is used to make sure that the input key does not
+add unexpected metacharacters.
+.IP "\fB%u\fR"
+When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%u\fR
+is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the address.
+Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire search string.
+If the localpart is empty, the query is suppressed and returns
+no results.
+.IP "\fB%d\fR"
+When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%d\fR
+is replaced by the SQL quoted domain part of the address.
+Otherwise, the query is suppressed and returns no results.
+.IP "\fB%[SUD]\fR"
+The upper\-case equivalents of the above expansions behave in the
+\fBquery\fR parameter identically to their lower\-case counter\-parts.
+With the \fBresult_format\fR parameter (see below), they expand the
+input key rather than the result value.
+.IP
+The above %S, %U and %D expansions are available with Postfix 2.2
+and later
+.IP "\fB%[1\-9]\fR"
+The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
+most significant component of the input key's domain. If the
+input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is \fBcom\fR,
+%2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR. If the input key is
+unqualified or does not have enough domain components to satisfy
+all the specified patterns, the query is suppressed and returns
+no results.
+.IP
+The above %1, ... %9 expansions are available with Postfix 2.2
+and later
+.RE
+.IP
+The \fBdomain\fR parameter described below limits the input
+keys to addresses in matching domains. When the \fBdomain\fR
+parameter is non\-empty, SQL queries for unqualified addresses
+or addresses in non\-matching domains are suppressed
+and return no results.
+
+The precedence of this parameter has changed with Postfix 2.2,
+in prior releases the precedence was, from highest to lowest,
+\fBselect_function\fR, \fBquery\fR, \fBselect_field\fR, ...
+
+With Postfix 2.2 the \fBquery\fR parameter has highest precedence,
+see COMPATIBILITY above.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the \fBquery\fR parameter.
+.IP "\fBresult_format (default: \fB%s\fR)\fR"
+Format template applied to result attributes. Most commonly used
+to append (or prepend) text to the result. This parameter supports
+the following '%' expansions:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB%%\fR"
+This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
+.IP "\fB%s\fR"
+This is replaced by the value of the result attribute. When
+result is empty it is skipped.
+.IP "\fB%u\fR
+When the result attribute value is an address of the form
+user@domain, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the
+address. When the result has an empty localpart it is skipped.
+.IP "\fB%d\fR"
+When a result attribute value is an address of the form
+user@domain, \fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of
+the attribute value. When the result is unqualified it
+is skipped.
+.IP "\fB%[SUD1\-9]\fR"
+The upper\-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate
+the parts of the input key rather than the result. Their
+behavior is identical to that described with \fBquery\fR,
+and in fact because the input key is known in advance, queries
+whose key does not contain all the information specified in
+the result template are suppressed and return no results.
+.RE
+.IP
+For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
+to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
+table. After applying the result format, multiple values
+are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
+and parameter explained below allows one to restrict the number
+of values in the result, which is especially useful for maps that
+must return at most one value.
+
+The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each result value should
+be used as is.
+
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format!
+.IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
+This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or
+dictionaries. When specified, only fully qualified search
+keys with a *non\-empty* localpart and a matching domain
+are eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
+and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
+reduce the query load on the PostgreSQL server.
+.nf
+ domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
+.fi
+
+It is best not to use SQL to store the domains eligible
+for SQL lookups.
+
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases,
+because the input keys are always unqualified.
+.IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
+A limit on the total number of result elements returned
+(as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map.
+A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
+temporary error if the limit is exceeded. Setting the
+limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple
+values.
+.SH "OBSOLETE MAIN.CF PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+For compatibility with other Postfix lookup tables, PostgreSQL
+parameters can also be defined in main.cf. In order to do
+that, specify as PostgreSQL source a name that doesn't begin
+with a slash or a dot. The PostgreSQL parameters will then
+be accessible as the name you've given the source in its
+definition, an underscore, and the name of the parameter. For
+example, if the map is specified as "pgsql:\fIpgsqlname\fR",
+the parameter "hosts" would be defined in main.cf as
+"\fIpgsqlname\fR_hosts".
+
+Note: with this form, the passwords for the PostgreSQL sources
+are written in main.cf, which is normally world\-readable.
+Support for this form will be removed in a future Postfix
+version.
+.SH "OBSOLETE QUERY INTERFACES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes query interfaces that are deprecated
+as of Postfix 2.2. Please migrate to the new \fBquery\fR
+interface as the old interfaces are slated to be phased
+out.
+.IP "\fBselect_function\fR"
+This parameter specifies a database function name. Example:
+.nf
+ select_function = my_lookup_user_alias
+.fi
+
+This is equivalent to:
+.nf
+ query = SELECT my_lookup_user_alias('%s')
+.fi
+
+This parameter overrides the legacy table\-related fields (described
+below). With Postfix versions prior to 2.2, it also overrides the
+\fBquery\fR parameter. Starting with Postfix 2.2, the \fBquery\fR
+parameter has highest precedence, and the \fBselect_function\fR
+parameter is deprecated.
+.PP
+The following parameters (with lower precedence than the
+\fBselect_function\fR interface described above) can be used to
+build the SQL select statement as follows:
+
+.nf
+ SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
+ FROM [\fBtable\fR]
+ WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
+ [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
+.fi
+
+The specifier %s is replaced with each lookup by the lookup key
+and is escaped so if it contains single quotes or other odd
+characters, it will not cause a parse error, or worse, a security
+problem.
+
+Starting with Postfix 2.2, this interface is obsoleted by the more
+general \fBquery\fR interface described above. If higher precedence
+the \fBquery\fR or \fBselect_function\fR parameters described above
+are defined, the parameters described here are ignored.
+.IP "\fBselect_field\fR"
+The SQL "select" parameter. Example:
+.nf
+ \fBselect_field\fR = forw_addr
+.fi
+.IP "\fBtable\fR"
+The SQL "select .. from" table name. Example:
+.nf
+ \fBtable\fR = mxaliases
+.fi
+.IP "\fBwhere_field\fR
+The SQL "select .. where" parameter. Example:
+.nf
+ \fBwhere_field\fR = alias
+.fi
+.IP "\fBadditional_conditions\fR
+Additional conditions to the SQL query. Example:
+.nf
+ \fBadditional_conditions\fR = AND status = 'paid'

+"\fBpostconf \-d\fR" command.
+.PP
+Note: this is not an invitation to make changes to Postfix
+configuration parameters. Unnecessary changes can impair the
+operation of the mail system.
+.SH 2bounce_notice_recipient (default: postmaster)
+The recipient of undeliverable mail that cannot be returned to
+the sender. This feature is enabled with the notify_classes
+parameter.
+.SH access_map_defer_code (default: 450)
+The numerical Postfix SMTP server response code for
+an \fBaccess\fR(5) map "defer" action, including "defer_if_permit"
+or "defer_if_reject". Prior to Postfix 2.6, the response
+is hard\-coded as "450".
+.PP
+Do not change this unless you have a complete understanding of RFC 5321.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later.
+.SH access_map_reject_code (default: 554)
+The numerical Postfix SMTP server response code for
+an \fBaccess\fR(5) map "reject" action.
+.PP
+Do not change this unless you have a complete understanding of RFC 5321.
+.SH address_verify_cache_cleanup_interval (default: 12h)
+The amount of time between \fBverify\fR(8) address verification
+database cleanup runs. This feature requires that the database
+supports the "delete" and "sequence" operators. Specify a zero
+interval to disable database cleanup.
+.PP
+After each database cleanup run, the \fBverify\fR(8) daemon logs the
+number of entries that were retained and dropped. A cleanup run is
+logged as "partial" when the daemon terminates early after "\fBpostfix
+reload\fR", "\fBpostfix stop\fR", or no requests for $max_idle
+seconds.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w
+(weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.7.
+.SH address_verify_default_transport (default: $default_transport)
+Overrides the default_transport parameter setting for address
+verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_local_transport (default: $local_transport)
+Overrides the local_transport parameter setting for address
+verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_map (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+Lookup table for persistent address verification status
+storage. The table is maintained by the \fBverify\fR(8) service, and
+is opened before the process releases privileges.
+.PP
+The lookup table is persistent by default (Postfix 2.7 and later).
+Specify an empty table name to keep the information in volatile
+memory which is lost after "\fBpostfix reload\fR" or "\fBpostfix
+stop\fR". This is the default with Postfix version 2.6 and earlier.
+.PP
+Specify a location in a file system that will not fill up. If the
+database becomes corrupted, the world comes to an end. To recover
+delete (NOT: truncate) the file and do "\fBpostfix reload\fR".
+.PP
+Postfix daemon processes do not use root privileges when opening
+this file (Postfix 2.5 and later). The file must therefore be
+stored under a Postfix\-owned directory such as the data_directory.
+As a migration aid, an attempt to open the file under a non\-Postfix
+directory is redirected to the Postfix\-owned data_directory, and a
+warning is logged.

+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_negative_cache (default: yes)
+Enable caching of failed address verification probe results. When
+this feature is enabled, the cache may pollute quickly with garbage.
+When this feature is disabled, Postfix will generate an address
+probe for every lookup.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_negative_expire_time (default: 3d)
+The time after which a failed probe expires from the address
+verification cache.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.

+The time after which a failed address verification probe needs to
+be refreshed.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_pending_request_limit (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+A safety limit that prevents address verification requests from
+overwhelming the Postfix queue. By default, the number of pending
+requests is limited to 1/4 of the active queue maximum size
+(qmgr_message_active_limit). The queue manager enforces the limit
+by tempfailing requests that exceed the limit. This affects only
+unknown addresses and inactive addresses that have expired, because
+the \fBverify\fR(8) daemon automatically refreshes an active address
+before it expires.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_poll_count (default: normal: 3, overload: 1)
+How many times to query the \fBverify\fR(8) service for the completion
+of an address verification request in progress.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP server polls the \fBverify\fR(8) service
+up to three times under non\-overload conditions, and only once when
+under overload. With Postfix version 2.5 and earlier, the SMTP
+server always polls the \fBverify\fR(8) service up to three times by
+default.
+.PP
+Specify 1 to implement a crude form of greylisting, that is, always
+defer the first delivery request for a new address.
+.PP
+Examples:

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_poll_delay (default: 3s)
+The delay between queries for the completion of an address
+verification request in progress.
+.PP
+The default polling delay is 3 seconds.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_positive_expire_time (default: 31d)
+The time after which a successful probe expires from the address
+verification cache.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_positive_refresh_time (default: 7d)
+The time after which a successful address verification probe needs
+to be refreshed. The address verification status is not updated
+when the probe fails (optimistic caching).
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_relay_transport (default: $relay_transport)
+Overrides the relay_transport parameter setting for address
+verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_relayhost (default: $relayhost)
+Overrides the relayhost parameter setting for address verification
+probes. This information can be overruled with the \fBtransport\fR(5) table.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_sender (default: $double_bounce_sender)
+The sender address to use in address verification probes; prior
+to Postfix 2.5 the default was "postmaster". To
+avoid problems with address probes that are sent in response to
+address probes, the Postfix SMTP server excludes the probe sender
+address from all SMTPD access blocks.
+.PP
+Specify an empty value (address_verify_sender =) or <> if you want
+to use the null sender address. Beware, some sites reject mail from
+<>, even though RFCs require that such addresses be accepted.

+Overrides the sender_dependent_default_transport_maps parameter
+setting for address verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.7 and later.
+.SH address_verify_sender_dependent_relayhost_maps (default: $sender_dependent_relayhost_maps)
+Overrides the sender_dependent_relayhost_maps parameter setting for address
+verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH address_verify_sender_ttl (default: 0s)
+The time between changes in the time\-dependent portion of address
+verification probe sender addresses. The time\-dependent portion is
+appended to the localpart of the address specified with the
+address_verify_sender parameter. This feature is ignored when the
+probe sender addresses is the null sender, i.e. the address_verify_sender
+value is empty or <>.
+.PP
+Historically, the probe sender address was fixed. This has
+caused such addresses to end up on spammer mailing lists, and has
+resulted in wasted network and processing resources.
+.PP
+To enable time\-dependent probe sender addresses, specify a
+non\-zero time value (an integral value plus an optional one\-letter
+suffix that specifies the time unit). Specify a value of at least
+several hours, to avoid problems with senders that use greylisting.
+Avoid nice TTL values, to make the result less predictable. Time
+units are: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.9 and later.
+.SH address_verify_service_name (default: verify)
+The name of the \fBverify\fR(8) address verification service. This service
+maintains the status of sender and/or recipient address verification
+probes, and generates probes on request by other Postfix processes.
+.SH address_verify_transport_maps (default: $transport_maps)
+Overrides the transport_maps parameter setting for address verification
+probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH address_verify_virtual_transport (default: $virtual_transport)
+Overrides the virtual_transport parameter setting for address
+verification probes.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH alias_database (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The alias databases for \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery that are updated with
+"\fBnewaliases\fR" or with "\fBsendmail \-bi\fR".
+.PP
+This is a separate configuration parameter because not all the
+tables specified with $alias_maps have to be local files.
+.PP
+Examples:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
+alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH alias_maps (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The alias databases that are used for \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery. See
+\fBaliases\fR(5) for syntax details.
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+Note: these lookups are recursive.
+.PP
+The default list is system dependent. On systems with NIS, the
+default is to search the local alias database, then the NIS alias
+database.
+.PP
+If you change the alias database, run "\fBpostalias /etc/aliases\fR"
+(or wherever your system stores the mail alias file), or simply
+run "\fBnewaliases\fR" to build the necessary DBM or DB file.
+.PP
+The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent disallows regular expression substitution
+of $1 etc. in alias_maps, because that would open a security hole.
+.PP
+The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent will silently ignore requests to use
+the \fBproxymap\fR(8) server within alias_maps. Instead it will open the
+table directly. Before Postfix version 2.2, the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery
+agent will terminate with a fatal error.

+.SH allow_mail_to_commands (default: alias, forward)
+Restrict \fBlocal\fR(8) mail delivery to external commands. The default
+is to disallow delivery to "|command" in :include: files (see
+\fBaliases\fR(5) for the text that defines this terminology).
+.PP
+Specify zero or more of: \fBalias\fR, \fBforward\fR or \fBinclude\fR,

+\fBaliases\fR(5) for the text that defines this terminology).
+.PP
+Specify zero or more of: \fBalias\fR, \fBforward\fR or \fBinclude\fR,

+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+allow_mail_to_files = alias,forward,include
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH allow_min_user (default: no)
+Allow a sender or recipient address to have `\-' as the first
+character. By
+default, this is not allowed, to avoid accidents with software that
+passes email addresses via the command line. Such software
+would not be able to distinguish a malicious address from a
+bona fide command\-line option. Although this can be prevented by
+inserting a "\-\-" option terminator into the command line, this is
+difficult to enforce consistently and globally.
+.PP
+As of Postfix version 2.5, this feature is implemented by
+trivial\-\fBrewrite\fR(8). With earlier versions this feature was implemented
+by \fBqmgr\fR(8) and was limited to recipient addresses only.
+.SH allow_percent_hack (default: yes)
+Enable the rewriting of the form "user%domain" to "user@domain".
+This is enabled by default.
+.PP
+Note: as of Postfix version 2.2, message header address rewriting
+happens only when one of the following conditions is true:
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received with the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from a network client that matches
+$local_header_rewrite_clients,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from the network, and the
+remote_header_rewrite_domain parameter specifies a non\-empty value.
+.br
+.PP
+To get the behavior before Postfix version 2.2, specify
+"local_header_rewrite_clients = static:all".
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+allow_percent_hack = no
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH allow_untrusted_routing (default: no)
+Forward mail with sender\-specified routing (user[@%!]remote[@%!]site)
+from untrusted clients to destinations matching $relay_domains.
+.PP
+By default, this feature is turned off. This closes a nasty open
+relay loophole where a backup MX host can be tricked into forwarding
+junk mail to a primary MX host which then spams it out to the world.
+.PP
+This parameter also controls if non\-local addresses with sender\-specified
+routing can match Postfix access tables. By default, such addresses
+cannot match Postfix access tables, because the address is ambiguous.
+.SH alternate_config_directories (default: empty)
+A list of non\-default Postfix configuration directories that may
+be specified with "\-c config_directory" on the command line (in the
+case of \fBsendmail\fR(1), with the "\-C" option), or via the MAIL_CONFIG
+environment parameter.
+.PP
+This list must be specified in the default Postfix main.cf file,
+and will be used by set\-gid Postfix commands such as \fBpostqueue\fR(1)
+and \fBpostdrop\fR(1).
+.PP
+Specify absolute pathnames, separated by comma or space. Note: $name
+expansion is not supported.
+.SH always_add_missing_headers (default: no)
+Always add (Resent\-) From:, To:, Date: or Message\-ID: headers
+when not present. Postfix 2.6 and later add these headers only
+when clients match the local_header_rewrite_clients parameter
+setting. Earlier Postfix versions always add these headers; this
+may break DKIM signatures that cover non\-existent headers.
+The undisclosed_recipients_header parameter setting determines
+whether a To: header will be added.
+.SH always_bcc (default: empty)
+Optional address that receives a "blind carbon copy" of each message
+that is received by the Postfix mail system.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix 2.3 and later the BCC address is added as if it
+was specified with NOTIFY=NONE. The sender will not be notified
+when the BCC address is undeliverable, as long as all down\-stream
+software implements RFC 3461.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix 2.2 and earlier the sender will be notified
+when the BCC address is undeliverable.
+.PP
+Note: automatic BCC recipients are produced only for new mail.
+To avoid mailer loops, automatic BCC recipients are not generated
+after Postfix forwards mail internally, or after Postfix generates
+mail itself.
+.SH anvil_rate_time_unit (default: 60s)
+The time unit over which client connection rates and other rates
+are calculated.
+.PP
+This feature is implemented by the \fBanvil\fR(8) service which is available
+in Postfix version 2.2 and later.
+.PP
+The default interval is relatively short. Because of the high
+frequency of updates, the \fBanvil\fR(8) server uses volatile memory
+only. Thus, information is lost whenever the process terminates.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH anvil_status_update_time (default: 600s)
+How frequently the \fBanvil\fR(8) connection and rate limiting server
+logs peak usage information.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH append_at_myorigin (default: yes)
+With locally submitted mail, append the string "@$myorigin" to mail
+addresses without domain information. With remotely submitted mail,
+append the string "@$remote_header_rewrite_domain" instead.
+.PP
+Note 1: this feature is enabled by default and must not be turned off.

+\&.domain names (the initial dot causes the domain to match any name
+below it), "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns. A "/file/name"
+pattern is replaced by its contents; a "type:table" lookup table
+is matched when a table entry matches a lookup string (the lookup
+result is ignored). Continue long lines by starting the next line
+with whitespace. Specify "!pattern" to exclude an address or network
+block from the list. The form "!/file/name" is supported only in
+Postfix version 2.4 and later.
+.PP
+Note: IP version 6 address information must be specified inside
+[] in the authorized_verp_clients value, and in files
+specified with "/file/name". IP version 6 addresses contain the
+":" character, and would otherwise be confused with a "type:table"
+pattern.
+.SH backwards_bounce_logfile_compatibility (default: yes)
+Produce additional \fBbounce\fR(8) logfile records that can be read by
+Postfix versions before 2.0. The current and more extensible "name =
+value" format is needed in order to implement more sophisticated
+functionality.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH berkeley_db_create_buffer_size (default: 16777216)
+The per\-table I/O buffer size for programs that create Berkeley DB
+hash or btree tables. Specify a byte count.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH berkeley_db_read_buffer_size (default: 131072)
+The per\-table I/O buffer size for programs that read Berkeley DB
+hash or btree tables. Specify a byte count.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH best_mx_transport (default: empty)
+Where the Postfix SMTP client should deliver mail when it detects
+a "mail loops back to myself" error condition. This happens when
+the local MTA is the best SMTP mail exchanger for a destination
+not listed in $mydestination, $inet_interfaces, $proxy_interfaces,
+$virtual_alias_domains, or $virtual_mailbox_domains. By default,
+the Postfix SMTP client returns such mail as undeliverable.
+.PP
+Specify, for example, "best_mx_transport = local" to pass the mail
+from the Postfix SMTP client to the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent. You
+can specify
+any message delivery "transport" or "transport:nexthop" that is
+defined in the master.cf file. See the \fBtransport\fR(5) manual page
+for the syntax and meaning of "transport" or "transport:nexthop".
+.PP
+However, this feature is expensive because it ties up a Postfix
+SMTP client process while the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent is doing its
+work. It is more efficient (for Postfix) to list all hosted domains
+in a table or database.
+.SH biff (default: yes)
+Whether or not to use the local biff service. This service sends
+"new mail" notifications to users who have requested new mail
+notification with the UNIX command "biff y".
+.PP
+For compatibility reasons this feature is on by default. On systems
+with lots of interactive users, the biff service can be a performance
+drain. Specify "biff = no" in main.cf to disable.
+.SH body_checks (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables for content inspection as specified in
+the \fBbody_checks\fR(5) manual page.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix versions before 2.0, these rules inspect
+all content after the primary message headers.
+.SH body_checks_size_limit (default: 51200)
+How much text in a message body segment (or attachment, if you
+prefer to use that term) is subjected to body_checks inspection.
+The amount of text is limited to avoid scanning huge attachments.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH bounce_notice_recipient (default: postmaster)
+The recipient of postmaster notifications with the message headers
+of mail that Postfix did not deliver and of SMTP conversation
+transcripts of mail that Postfix did not receive. This feature is
+enabled with the notify_classes parameter.
+.SH bounce_queue_lifetime (default: 5d)
+Consider a bounce message as undeliverable, when delivery fails
+with a temporary error, and the time in the queue has reached the
+bounce_queue_lifetime limit. By default, this limit is the same
+as for regular mail.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is d (days).
+.PP
+Specify 0 when mail delivery should be tried only once.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH bounce_service_name (default: bounce)
+The name of the \fBbounce\fR(8) service. This service maintains a record
+of failed delivery attempts and generates non\-delivery notifications.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH bounce_size_limit (default: 50000)
+The maximal amount of original message text that is sent in a
+non\-delivery notification. Specify a byte count. A message is
+returned as either message/rfc822 (the complete original) or as
+text/rfc822\-headers (the headers only). With Postfix version 2.4
+and earlier, a message is always returned as message/rfc822 and is
+truncated when it exceeds the size limit.
+.PP
+Notes:
+.IP \(bu
+If you increase this limit, then you should increase the
+mime_nesting_limit value proportionally.
+.IP \(bu
+Be careful when making changes. Excessively large values
+will result in the loss of non\-delivery notifications, when a bounce
+message size exceeds a local or remote MTA's message size limit.
+.br
+.SH bounce_template_file (default: empty)
+Pathname of a configuration file with bounce message templates.
+These override the built\-in templates of delivery status notification
+(DSN) messages for undeliverable mail, for delayed mail, successful
+delivery, or delivery verification. The \fBbounce\fR(5) manual page
+describes how to edit and test template files.
+.PP
+Template message body text may contain $name references to
+Postfix configuration parameters. The result of $name expansion can
+be previewed with "\fBpostconf \-b \fIfile_name\fR\fR" before the file
+is placed into the Postfix configuration directory.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH broken_sasl_auth_clients (default: no)
+Enable interoperability with remote SMTP clients that implement an obsolete
+version of the AUTH command (RFC 4954). Examples of such clients
+are MicroSoft Outlook Express version 4 and MicroSoft Exchange
+version 5.0.
+.PP
+Specify "broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes" to have Postfix advertise
+AUTH support in a non\-standard way.
+.SH canonical_classes (default: envelope_sender, envelope_recipient, header_sender, header_recipient)
+What addresses are subject to canonical_maps address mapping.
+By default, canonical_maps address mapping is applied to envelope
+sender and recipient addresses, and to header sender and header
+recipient addresses.
+.PP
+Specify one or more of: envelope_sender, envelope_recipient,
+header_sender, header_recipient
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH canonical_maps (default: empty)
+Optional address mapping lookup tables for message headers and
+envelopes. The mapping is applied to both sender and recipient
+addresses, in both envelopes and in headers, as controlled
+with the canonical_classes parameter. This is typically used
+to clean up dirty addresses from legacy mail systems, or to replace
+login names by Firstname.Lastname. The table format and lookups
+are documented in \fBcanonical\fR(5). For an overview of Postfix address
+manipulations see the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+Note: these lookups are recursive.
+.PP
+If you use this feature, run "\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/canonical\fR" to
+build the necessary DBM or DB file after every change. The changes
+will become visible after a minute or so. Use "\fBpostfix reload\fR"
+to eliminate the delay.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix version 2.2, message header address mapping
+happens only when message header address rewriting is enabled:
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received with the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from a network client that matches
+$local_header_rewrite_clients,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from the network, and the
+remote_header_rewrite_domain parameter specifies a non\-empty value.
+.br

+.SH cleanup_service_name (default: cleanup)
+The name of the \fBcleanup\fR(8) service. This service rewrites addresses
+into the standard form, and performs \fBcanonical\fR(5) address mapping
+and \fBvirtual\fR(5) aliasing.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH command_directory (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The location of all postfix administrative commands.
+.SH command_execution_directory (default: empty)
+The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent working directory for delivery to
+external command. Failure to change directory causes the delivery
+to be deferred.
+.PP
+The command_execution_directory value is not subject to Postfix
+configuration parameter $name expansion. Instead, the following
+$name expansions are done on command_execution_directory before the
+directory is used. Expansion happens in the context
+of the delivery request. The result of $name expansion is filtered
+with the character set that is specified with the
+execution_directory_expansion_filter parameter.
+.IP "\fB$user\fR"
+The recipient's username.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$shell\fR"
+The recipient's login shell pathname.

+The recipient's home directory.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient\fR"
+The full recipient address.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$extension\fR"
+The optional recipient address extension.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$domain\fR"
+The recipient domain.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$local\fR"
+The entire recipient localpart.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient_delimiter\fR"
+The address extension delimiter that was found in the recipient
+address (Postfix 2.11 and later), or the system\-wide recipient
+address extension delimiter (Postfix 2.10 and earlier).
+.br
+.IP "\fB${name?value}\fR"
+Expands to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR is non\-empty.
+.br
+.IP "\fB${name:value}\fR"
+Expands to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR is empty.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Instead of $name you can also specify ${name} or $(name).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH command_expansion_filter (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+Restrict the characters that the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent allows in
+$name expansions of $mailbox_command and $command_execution_directory.
+Characters outside the
+allowed set are replaced by underscores.
+.SH command_time_limit (default: 1000s)
+Time limit for delivery to external commands. This limit is used
+by the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent, and is the default time limit for
+delivery by the \fBpipe\fR(8) delivery agent.
+.PP
+Note: if you set this time limit to a large value you must update the
+global ipc_timeout parameter as well.
+.SH compatibility_level (default: 0)
+A safety net that causes Postfix to run with backwards\-compatible
+default settings after an upgrade to a newer Postfix version.
+.PP
+With backwards compatibility turned on (the main.cf compatibility_level
+value is less than the Postfix built\-in value), Postfix looks for
+settings that are left at their implicit default value, and logs a

+The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf
+configuration files. This can be overruled via the following
+mechanisms:
+.IP \(bu
+The MAIL_CONFIG environment variable (daemon processes
+and commands).
+.IP \(bu
+The "\-c" command\-line option (commands only).
+.br
+.PP
+With Postfix command that run with set\-gid privileges, a
+config_directory override requires either root privileges, or it
+requires that the directory is listed with the alternate_config_directories
+parameter in the default main.cf file.
+.SH confirm_delay_cleared (default: no)
+After sending a "your message is delayed" notification, inform
+the sender when the delay clears up. This can result in a sudden
+burst of notifications at the end of a prolonged network outage,
+and is therefore disabled by default.
+.PP
+See also: delay_warning_time.

+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH connection_cache_protocol_timeout (default: 5s)
+Time limit for connection cache connect, send or receive
+operations. The time limit is enforced in the client.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH connection_cache_service_name (default: scache)
+The name of the \fBscache\fR(8) connection cache service. This service
+maintains a limited pool of cached sessions.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH connection_cache_status_update_time (default: 600s)
+How frequently the \fBscache\fR(8) server logs usage statistics with
+connection cache hit and miss rates for logical destinations and for
+physical endpoints.
+.SH connection_cache_ttl_limit (default: 2s)
+The maximal time\-to\-live value that the \fBscache\fR(8) connection
+cache server
+allows. Requests that specify a larger TTL will be stored with the
+maximum allowed TTL. The purpose of this additional control is to
+protect the infrastructure against careless people. The cache TTL
+is already bounded by $max_idle.
+.SH content_filter (default: empty)
+After the message is queued, send the entire message to the
+specified \fItransport:destination\fR. The \fItransport\fR name
+specifies the first field of a mail delivery agent definition in
+master.cf; the syntax of the next\-hop \fIdestination\fR is described
+in the manual page of the corresponding delivery agent. More
+information about external content filters is in the Postfix
+FILTER_README file.

+Notes:
+.IP \(bu
+This setting has lower precedence than a FILTER action
+that is specified in an \fBaccess\fR(5), \fBheader_checks\fR(5) or \fBbody_checks\fR(5)
+table.
+.IP \(bu
+The meaning of an empty next\-hop filter \fIdestination\fR
+is version dependent. Postfix 2.7 and later will use the recipient
+domain; earlier versions will use $myhostname. Specify
+"default_filter_nexthop = $myhostname" for compatibility with Postfix
+2.6 or earlier, or specify a content_filter value with an explicit
+next\-hop \fIdestination\fR.
+.br
+.SH cyrus_sasl_config_path (default: empty)
+Search path for Cyrus SASL application configuration files,

+or an empty value to use Cyrus SASL's built\-in search path.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later when compiled
+with Cyrus SASL 2.1.22 or later.
+.SH daemon_directory (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The directory with Postfix support programs and daemon programs.
+These should not be invoked directly by humans. The directory must
+be owned by root.
+.SH daemon_table_open_error_is_fatal (default: no)
+How a Postfix daemon process handles errors while opening lookup
+tables: gradual degradation or immediate termination.
+.IP "\fB no \fR (default)"
+Gradual degradation: a
+daemon process logs a message of type "error" and continues execution
+with reduced functionality. Features that do not depend on the
+unavailable table will work normally, while features that depend
+on the table will result in a type "warning" message.
+.br
+When
+the notify_classes parameter value contains the "data" class, the
+Postfix SMTP server and client will report transcripts of sessions
+with an error because a table is unavailable.
+.br
+.IP "\fB yes \fR (historical behavior)"
+Immediate
+termination: a daemon process logs a type "fatal" message and
+terminates immediately. This option reduces the number of possible
+code paths through Postfix, and may therefore be slightly more
+secure than the default.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+For the sake of sanity, the number of type "error" messages is
+limited to 13 over the lifetime of a daemon process.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.9 and later.
+.SH daemon_timeout (default: 18000s)
+How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a
+request before it is terminated by a built\-in watchdog timer.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH data_directory (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The directory with Postfix\-writable data files (for example:
+caches, pseudo\-random numbers). This directory must be owned by
+the mail_owner account, and must not be shared with non\-Postfix
+software.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH debug_peer_level (default: 2)
+The increment in verbose logging level when a remote client or
+server matches a pattern in the debug_peer_list parameter.
+.SH debug_peer_list (default: empty)
+Optional list of remote client or server hostname or network
+address patterns that cause the verbose logging level to increase
+by the amount specified in $debug_peer_level.
+.PP
+Specify domain names, network/netmask patterns, "/file/name"
+patterns or "type:table" lookup tables. The right\-hand side result
+from "type:table" lookups is ignored.

+.SH default_delivery_slot_cost (default: 5)
+How often the Postfix queue manager's scheduler is allowed to
+preempt delivery of one message with another.
+.PP
+Each transport maintains a so\-called "available delivery slot counter"
+for each message. One message can be preempted by another one when
+the other message can be delivered using no more delivery slots
+(i.e., invocations of delivery agents) than the current message
+counter has accumulated (or will eventually accumulate \- see about
+slot loans below). This parameter controls how often is the counter
+incremented \- it happens after each default_delivery_slot_cost
+recipients have been delivered.
+.PP
+The cost of 0 is used to disable the preempting scheduling completely.
+The minimum value the scheduling algorithm can use is 2 \- use it
+if you want to maximize the message throughput rate. Although there
+is no maximum, it doesn't make much sense to use values above say
+50.
+.PP
+The only reason why the value of 2 is not the default is the way
+this parameter affects the delivery of mailing\-list mail. In the
+worst case, delivery can take somewhere between (cost+1/cost)
+and (cost/cost\-1) times more than if the preemptive scheduler was
+disabled. The default value of 5 turns out to provide reasonable
+message response times while making sure the mailing\-list deliveries
+are not extended by more than 20\-25 percent even in the worst case.
+.PP
+Use \fItransport\fR_delivery_slot_cost to specify a
+transport\-specific override, where \fItransport\fR is the master.cf
+name of the message delivery transport.

+happen. Instead of waiting until the full amount of delivery slots
+required is available, the preemption can happen when
+transport_delivery_slot_discount percent of the required amount

+Note that the full amount will still have to be accumulated before

+Use \fItransport\fR_delivery_slot_discount to specify a
+transport\-specific override, where \fItransport\fR is the master.cf
+name of the message delivery transport.

+.SH default_delivery_status_filter (default: empty)
+Optional filter to replace the delivery status code or explanatory
+text of successful or unsuccessful deliveries. This does not allow
+the replacement of a successful status code (2.X.X) with an
+unsuccessful status code (4.X.X or 5.X.X) or vice versa.
+.PP
+Note: the (smtp|lmtp)_delivery_status_filter is applied only
+once per recipient: when delivery is successful, when delivery is
+rejected with 5XX, or when there are no more alternate MX or A
+destinations. Use smtp_reply_filter or lmtp_reply_filter to inspect
+responses for all delivery attempts.
+.PP
+The following parameters can be used to implement a filter for
+specific delivery agents: lmtp_delivery_status_filter,
+local_delivery_status_filter, pipe_delivery_status_filter,
+smtp_delivery_status_filter or virtual_delivery_status_filter. These
+parameters support the same filter syntax as described here.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:table" lookup table names, separated
+by comma or whitespace. For each successful or unsuccessful delivery
+to a recipient, the tables are queried in the specified order with
+one line of text that is structured as follows:
+.sp
+.in +4
+enhanced\-status\-code SPACE explanatory\-text
+.in -4
+.PP
+The first table match wins. The lookup result must have the
+same structure as the query, a successful status code (2.X.X) must
+be replaced with a successful status code, an unsuccessful status
+code (4.X.X or 5.X.X) must be replaced with an unsuccessful status
+code, and the explanatory text field must be non\-empty. Other results

+with older Postfix versions).
+.SH enable_idna2003_compatibility (default: no)
+Enable 'transitional' compatibility between IDNA2003 and IDNA2008,
+when converting UTF\-8 domain names to/from the ASCII form that is
+used for DNS lookups. Specify "yes" for compatibility with Postfix
+<= 3.1 (not recommended). This affects the conversion of domain
+names that contain for example the German sz and the Greek zeta.
+See http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/idna.jsp for more examples.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.2 and later.
+.SH enable_long_queue_ids (default: no)
+Enable long, non\-repeating, queue IDs (queue file names). The
+benefit of non\-repeating names is simpler logfile analysis and
+easier queue migration (there is no need to run "postsuper" to
+change queue file names that don't match their message file inode
+number).
+.PP
+Note: see below for how to convert long queue file names to
+Postfix <= 2.8.
+.PP
+Changing the parameter value to "yes" has the following effects:
+.IP \(bu
+Existing queue file names are not affected.
+.IP \(bu
+New queue files are created with names such as 3Pt2mN2VXxznjll.
+These are encoded in a 52\-character alphabet that contains digits
+(0\-9), upper\-case letters (B\-Z) and lower\-case letters (b\-z). For
+safety reasons the vowels (AEIOUaeiou) are excluded from the alphabet.
+The name format is: 6 or more characters for the time in seconds,
+4 characters for the time in microseconds, the 'z'; the remainder
+is the file inode number encoded in the first 51 characters of the
+52\-character alphabet.
+.IP \(bu
+New messages have a Message\-ID header with
+\fIqueueID\fR@\fImyhostname\fR.
+.IP \(bu
+The mailq (postqueue \-p) output has a wider Queue ID column.
+The number of whitespace\-separated fields is not changed.
+.IP \(bu
+The hash_queue_depth algorithm uses the first characters
+of the queue file creation time in microseconds, after conversion
+into hexadecimal representation. This produces the same queue hashing
+behavior as if the queue file name was created with "enable_long_queue_ids
+= no".
+.br
+.PP
+Changing the parameter value to "no" has the following effects:
+.IP \(bu
+Existing long queue file names are renamed to the short
+form (while running "postfix reload" or "postsuper").
+.IP \(bu
+New queue files are created with names such as C3CD21F3E90
+from a hexadecimal alphabet that contains digits (0\-9) and upper\-case
+letters (A\-F). The name format is: 5 characters for the time in
+microseconds; the remainder is the file inode number.
+.IP \(bu
+New messages have a Message\-ID header with
+\fIYYYYMMDDHHMMSS.queueid\fR@\fImyhostname\fR, where
+\fIYYYYMMDDHHMMSS\fR are the year, month, day, hour, minute and
+second.
+.IP \(bu
+The mailq (postqueue \-p) output has the same format as
+with Postfix <= 2.8.

+The hash_queue_depth algorithm uses the first characters
+of the queue file name, with the hexadecimal representation of the
+file creation time in microseconds.

+.SH enable_original_recipient (default: yes)
+Enable support for the original recipient address after an
+address is rewritten to a different address (for example with
+aliasing or with canonical mapping).
+.PP
+The original recipient address is used as follows:
+.IP "Final delivery"
+With "enable_original_recipient =
+yes", the original recipient address is stored in the \fBX\-Original\-To\fR
+message header. This header may be used to distinguish between
+different recipients that share the same mailbox.
+.br
+.IP "Recipient deduplication"
+With "enable_original_recipient
+= yes", the \fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon performs duplicate recipient elimination
+based on the content of (original recipient, maybe\-rewritten
+recipient) pairs. Otherwise, the \fBcleanup\fR(8) daemon performs duplicate
+recipient elimination based only on the maybe\-rewritten recipient
+address.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix <= 3.2 the "setting enable_original_recipient
+= \fBno\fR" breaks address verification for addresses that are
+aliased or otherwise rewritten (Postfix is unable to store the
+address verification result under the original probe destination
+address; instead, it can store the result only under the rewritten
+address).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later. Postfix
+version 2.0 behaves as if this parameter is always set to \fByes\fR.
+Postfix versions before 2.0 have no support for the original recipient
+address.
+.SH error_notice_recipient (default: postmaster)
+The recipient of postmaster notifications about mail delivery
+problems that are caused by policy, resource, software or protocol
+errors. These notifications are enabled with the notify_classes
+parameter.
+.SH error_service_name (default: error)
+The name of the \fBerror\fR(8) pseudo delivery agent. This service always
+returns mail as undeliverable.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH execution_directory_expansion_filter (default: see "postconf \-d" output)

+When delivering to an alias "\fIaliasname\fR" that has an
+"owner\-\fIaliasname\fR" companion alias, set the envelope sender
+address to the expansion of the "owner\-\fIaliasname\fR" alias.
+Normally, Postfix sets the envelope sender address to the name of
+the "owner\-\fIaliasname\fR" alias.
+.SH export_environment (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The list of environment variables that a Postfix process will export
+to non\-Postfix processes. The TZ variable is needed for sane
+time keeping on System\-V\-ish systems.
+.PP
+Specify a list of names and/or name=value pairs, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Specify "{ name=value }" to protect whitespace
+or comma in parameter values (whitespace after the opening "{" and

+from message headers when mail is submitted with "\fBsendmail \-t\fR".
+.PP
+This feature was removed in Postfix version 2.1.
+.SH fallback_relay (default: empty)
+Optional list of relay hosts for SMTP destinations that can't be
+found or that are unreachable. With Postfix 2.3 this parameter
+is renamed to smtp_fallback_relay.
+.PP
+By default, mail is returned to the sender when a destination is
+not found, and delivery is deferred when a destination is unreachable.
+.PP
+The fallback relays must be SMTP destinations. Specify a domain,
+host, host:port, [host]:port, [address] or [address]:port; the form
+[host] turns off MX lookups. If you specify multiple SMTP
+destinations, Postfix will try them in the specified order.
+.PP
+Note: before Postfix 2.2, do not use the fallback_relay feature
+when relaying mail
+for a backup or primary MX domain. Mail would loop between the
+Postfix MX host and the fallback_relay host when the final destination
+is unavailable.

+as the right\-hand side for backup or primary MX domain entries.
+.br
+.PP
+Postfix version 2.2 and later will not use the fallback_relay feature
+for destinations that it is MX host for.
+.SH fallback_transport (default: empty)
+Optional message delivery transport that the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery
+agent should use for names that are not found in the \fBaliases\fR(5)
+or UNIX password database.
+.PP
+The precedence of \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery features from high to low
+is: aliases, .forward files, mailbox_transport_maps, mailbox_transport,

+.SH fallback_transport_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables with per\-recipient message delivery
+transports for recipients that the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent could
+not find in the \fBaliases\fR(5) or UNIX password database.
+.PP
+The precedence of \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery features from high to low

+.SH fast_flush_domains (default: $relay_domains)
+Optional list of destinations that are eligible for per\-destination
+logfiles with mail that is queued to those destinations.
+.PP
+By default, Postfix maintains "fast flush" logfiles only for
+destinations that the Postfix SMTP server is willing to relay to
+(i.e. the default is: "fast_flush_domains = $relay_domains"; see
+the relay_domains parameter in the \fBpostconf\fR(5) manual).
+.PP
+Specify a list of hosts or domains, "/file/name" patterns or
+"type:table" lookup tables, separated by commas and/or whitespace.
+Continue long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. A
+"/file/name" pattern is replaced by its contents; a "type:table"
+lookup table is matched when the domain or its parent domain appears
+as lookup key.
+.PP
+Pattern matching of domain names is controlled by the presence
+or absence of "fast_flush_domains" in the parent_domain_matches_subdomains
+parameter value.
+.PP
+Specify "fast_flush_domains =" (i.e., empty) to disable the feature
+altogether.
+.SH fast_flush_purge_time (default: 7d)
+The time after which an empty per\-destination "fast flush" logfile
+is deleted.
+.PP
+You can specify the time as a number, or as a number followed by
+a letter that indicates the time unit: s=seconds, m=minutes, h=hours,
+d=days, w=weeks. The default time unit is days.
+.SH fast_flush_refresh_time (default: 12h)
+The time after which a non\-empty but unread per\-destination "fast
+flush" logfile needs to be refreshed. The contents of a logfile
+are refreshed by requesting delivery of all messages listed in the
+logfile.
+.PP
+You can specify the time as a number, or as a number followed by
+a letter that indicates the time unit: s=seconds, m=minutes, h=hours,
+d=days, w=weeks. The default time unit is hours.
+.SH fault_injection_code (default: 0)
+Force specific internal tests to fail, to test the handling of
+errors that are difficult to reproduce otherwise.
+.SH flush_service_name (default: flush)
+The name of the \fBflush\fR(8) service. This service maintains per\-destination
+logfiles with the queue file names of mail that is queued for those
+destinations.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH fork_attempts (default: 5)
+The maximal number of attempts to fork() a child process.
+.SH fork_delay (default: 1s)
+The delay between attempts to fork() a child process.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w
+(weeks). The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH forward_expansion_filter (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+Restrict the characters that the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent allows in
+$name expansions of $forward_path. Characters outside the
+allowed set are replaced by underscores.
+.SH forward_path (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent search list for finding a .forward
+file with user\-specified delivery methods. The first file that is
+found is used.
+.PP
+The forward_path value is not subject to Postfix configuration
+parameter $name expansion. Instead, the following $name expansions
+are done on forward_path before the search actually happens.
+The result of $name expansion is
+filtered with the character set that is specified with the
+forward_expansion_filter parameter.
+.IP "\fB$user\fR"
+The recipient's username.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$shell\fR"
+The recipient's login shell pathname.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$home\fR"
+The recipient's home directory.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient\fR"
+The full recipient address.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$extension\fR"
+The optional recipient address extension.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$domain\fR"
+The recipient domain.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$local\fR"
+The entire recipient localpart.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient_delimiter\fR"
+The address extension delimiter that was found in the recipient
+address (Postfix 2.11 and later), or the system\-wide recipient
+address extension delimiter (Postfix 2.10 and earlier).
+.br
+.IP "\fB${name?value}\fR"
+Expands to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR is non\-empty.

+.SH frozen_delivered_to (default: yes)
+Update the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent's idea of the Delivered\-To:
+address (see prepend_delivered_header) only once, at the start of
+a delivery attempt; do not update the Delivered\-To: address while
+expanding aliases or .forward files.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later. With older
+Postfix releases, the behavior is as if this parameter is set to
+"no". The old setting can be expensive with deeply nested aliases
+or .forward files. When an alias or .forward file changes the
+Delivered\-To: address, it ties up one queue file and one cleanup
+process instance while mail is being forwarded.
+.SH hash_queue_depth (default: 1)
+The number of subdirectory levels for queue directories listed with
+the hash_queue_names parameter. Queue hashing is implemented by
+creating one or more levels of directories with one\-character names.
+Originally, these directory names were equal to the first characters
+of the queue file name, with the hexadecimal representation of the
+file creation time in microseconds.
+.PP
+With long queue file names, queue hashing produces the same
+results as with short names. The file creation time in microseconds
+is converted into hexadecimal form before the result is used for
+queue hashing. The base 16 encoding gives finer control over the
+number of subdirectories than is possible with the base 52 encoding
+of long queue file names.
+.PP
+After changing the hash_queue_names or hash_queue_depth parameter,
+execute the command "\fBpostfix reload\fR".
+.SH hash_queue_names (default: deferred, defer)
+The names of queue directories that are split across multiple
+subdirectory levels.
+.PP
+Before Postfix version 2.2, the default list of hashed queues
+was significantly larger. Claims about improvements in file system
+technology suggest that hashing of the incoming and active queues
+is no longer needed. Fewer hashed directories speed up the time
+needed to restart Postfix.
+.PP
+After changing the hash_queue_names or hash_queue_depth parameter,
+execute the command "\fBpostfix reload\fR".
+.SH header_address_token_limit (default: 10240)
+The maximal number of address tokens are allowed in an address
+message header. Information that exceeds the limit is discarded.
+The limit is enforced by the \fBcleanup\fR(8) server.
+.SH header_checks (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables for content inspection of primary non\-MIME
+message headers, as specified in the \fBheader_checks\fR(5) manual page.
+.SH header_from_format (default: standard)
+The format of the Postfix\-generated \fBFrom:\fR header. This
+setting affects the appearance of 'full name' information when a
+local program such as /bin/mail submits a message without From:
+header through the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command.
+.PP
+Specify one of the following:
+.IP "\fBstandard\fR (default)"
+Produce a header formatted
+as "\fBFrom:\fR \fIname\fR\fB <\fR\fIaddress\fR\fB>\fR".
+This is the default as of Postfix 3.3.
+.br
+.IP "\fBobsolete\fR"
+Produce a header formatted as "\fBFrom:\fR
+\fIaddress\fR \fB(\fR\fIname\fR\fB)\fR". This is the behavior
+prior to Postfix 3.3.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Notes:
+.IP \(bu
+Postfix generates the format "\fBFrom:\fR \fIaddress\fR"
+when \fIname\fR information is unavailable or the envelope sender
+address is empty. This is the same behavior as prior to Postfix
+3.3.
+.IP \(bu
+In the \fBstandard\fR form, the \fIname\fR will be quoted
+if it contains \fBspecials\fR as defined in RFC 5322, or the "!%"
+address operators.
+.IP \(bu
+The Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command gets \fIname\fR information
+from the \fB\-F\fR command\-line option, from the \fBNAME\fR
+environment variable, or from the UNIX password file.
+.br
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.3 and later.
+.SH header_size_limit (default: 102400)
+The maximal amount of memory in bytes for storing a message header.
+If a header is larger, the excess is discarded. The limit is
+enforced by the \fBcleanup\fR(8) server.
+.SH helpful_warnings (default: yes)
+Log warnings about problematic configuration settings, and provide
+helpful suggestions.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH home_mailbox (default: empty)
+Optional pathname of a mailbox file relative to a \fBlocal\fR(8) user's
+home directory.
+.PP
+Specify a pathname ending in "/" for qmail\-style delivery.
+.PP
+The precedence of \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery features from high to low
+is: aliases, .forward files, mailbox_transport_maps, mailbox_transport,
+mailbox_command_maps, mailbox_command, home_mailbox, mail_spool_directory,
+fallback_transport_maps, fallback_transport and luser_relay.

+.ft R
+.SH hopcount_limit (default: 50)
+The maximal number of Received: message headers that is allowed
+in the primary message headers. A message that exceeds the limit
+is bounced, in order to stop a mailer loop.
+.SH html_directory (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The location of Postfix HTML files that describe how to build,
+configure or operate a specific Postfix subsystem or feature.
+.SH ignore_mx_lookup_error (default: no)
+Ignore DNS MX lookups that produce no response. By default,
+the Postfix SMTP client defers delivery and tries again after some
+delay. This behavior is required by the SMTP standard.
+.PP
+Specify "ignore_mx_lookup_error = yes" to force a DNS A record
+lookup instead. This violates the SMTP standard and can result in
+mis\-delivery of mail.
+.SH import_environment (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The list of environment parameters that a privileged Postfix
+process will import from a non\-Postfix parent process, or name=value
+environment overrides. Unprivileged utilities will enforce the
+name=value overrides, but otherwise will not change their process
+environment. Examples of relevant parameters:

+.IP "\fBMAIL_CONFIG\fR"
+Needed to make "\fBpostfix \-c\fR" work.

+.br
+.PP
+Specify a list of names and/or name=value pairs, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Specify "{ name=value }" to protect whitespace
+or comma in parameter values (whitespace after the opening "{" and
+before the closing "}"
+is ignored). The form name=value is supported with Postfix version
+2.1 and later; the use of {} is supported with Postfix 3.0 and
+later.
+.SH in_flow_delay (default: 1s)
+Time to pause before accepting a new message, when the message
+arrival rate exceeds the message delivery rate. This feature is
+turned on by default (it's disabled on SCO UNIX due to an SCO bug).
+.PP
+With the default 100 Postfix SMTP server process limit, "in_flow_delay
+= 1s" limits the mail inflow to 100 messages per second above the
+number of messages delivered per second.
+.PP
+Specify 0 to disable the feature. Valid delays are 0..10.
+.SH inet_interfaces (default: all)
+The network interface addresses that this mail system receives
+mail on. Specify "all" to receive mail on all network
+interfaces (default), and "loopback\-only" to receive mail
+on loopback network interfaces only (Postfix version 2.2 and later). The
+parameter also controls delivery of mail to user@[ip.address].
+.PP
+Note 1: you need to stop and start Postfix when this parameter changes.
+.PP
+Note 2: address information may be enclosed inside [],
+but this form is not required here.
+.PP
+When inet_interfaces specifies just one IPv4 and/or IPv6 address
+that is not a loopback address, the Postfix SMTP client will use
+this address as the IP source address for outbound mail. Support
+for IPv6 is available in Postfix version 2.2 and later.
+.PP
+On a multi\-homed firewall with separate Postfix instances listening on the
+"inside" and "outside" interfaces, this can prevent each instance from
+being able to reach remote SMTP servers on the "other side" of the
+firewall. Setting
+smtp_bind_address to 0.0.0.0 avoids the potential problem for
+IPv4, and setting smtp_bind_address6 to :: solves the problem
+for IPv6.
+.PP
+A better solution for multi\-homed firewalls is to leave inet_interfaces
+at the default value and instead use explicit IP addresses in
+the master.cf SMTP server definitions. This preserves the Postfix
+SMTP client's
+loop detection, by ensuring that each side of the firewall knows that the
+other IP address is still the same host. Setting $inet_interfaces to a
+single IPv4 and/or IPV6 address is primarily useful with virtual
+hosting of domains on
+secondary IP addresses, when each IP address serves a different domain
+(and has a different $myhostname setting).
+.PP
+See also the proxy_interfaces parameter, for network addresses that
+are forwarded to Postfix by way of a proxy or address translator.
+.PP
+Examples:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+inet_interfaces = all (DEFAULT)
+inet_interfaces = loopback\-only (Postfix version 2.2 and later)
+inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1

+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH inet_protocols (default: all)
+The Internet protocols Postfix will attempt to use when making
+or accepting connections. Specify one or more of "ipv4"
+or "ipv6", separated by whitespace or commas. The form
+"all" is equivalent to "ipv4, ipv6" or "ipv4", depending
+on whether the operating system implements IPv6.
+.PP
+With Postfix 2.8 and earlier the default is "ipv4". For backwards
+compatibility with these releases, the Postfix 2.9 and later upgrade
+procedure appends an explicit "inet_protocols = ipv4" setting to
+main.cf when no explicit setting is present. This compatibility
+workaround will be phased out as IPv6 deployment becomes more common.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.PP
+Note: you MUST stop and start Postfix after changing this
+parameter.
+.PP
+On systems that pre\-date IPV6_V6ONLY support (RFC 3493), an
+IPv6 server will also accept IPv4 connections, even when IPv4 is
+turned off with the inet_protocols parameter. On systems with
+IPV6_V6ONLY support, Postfix will use separate server sockets for
+IPv6 and IPv4, and each will accept only connections for the
+corresponding protocol.
+.PP
+When IPv4 support is enabled via the inet_protocols parameter,
+Postfix will look up DNS type A records, and will convert
+IPv4\-in\-IPv6 client IP addresses (::ffff:1.2.3.4) to their original
+IPv4 form (1.2.3.4). The latter is needed on hosts that pre\-date
+IPV6_V6ONLY support (RFC 3493).
+.PP
+When IPv6 support is enabled via the inet_protocols parameter,
+Postfix will do DNS type AAAA record lookups.
+.PP
+When both IPv4 and IPv6 support are enabled, the Postfix SMTP
+client will choose the protocol as specified with the
+smtp_address_preference parameter. Postfix versions before 2.8
+attempt to connect via IPv6 before attempting to use IPv4.

+.SH local_command_shell (default: empty)
+Optional shell program for \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery to non\-Postfix command.
+By default, non\-Postfix commands are executed directly; commands
+are given to given to the default shell (typically, /bin/sh) only
+when they contain shell meta characters or shell built\-in commands.

+.SH local_destination_concurrency_limit (default: 2)
+The maximal number of parallel deliveries via the local mail
+delivery transport to the same recipient (when
+"local_destination_recipient_limit = 1") or the maximal number of
+parallel deliveries to the same local domain (when
+"local_destination_recipient_limit > 1"). This limit is enforced by
+the queue manager. The message delivery transport name is the first
+field in the entry in the master.cf file.
+.PP
+A low limit of 2 is recommended, just in case someone has an
+expensive shell command in a .forward file or in an alias (e.g.,
+a mailing list manager). You don't want to run lots of those at
+the same time.
+.SH local_destination_recipient_limit (default: 1)
+The maximal number of recipients per message delivery via the
+local mail delivery transport. This limit is enforced by the queue
+manager. The message delivery transport name is the first field in
+the entry in the master.cf file.
+.PP
+Setting this parameter to a value > 1 changes the meaning of
+local_destination_concurrency_limit from concurrency per recipient
+into concurrency per domain.
+.SH local_header_rewrite_clients (default: permit_inet_interfaces)
+Rewrite message header addresses in mail from these clients and
+update incomplete addresses with the domain name in $myorigin or
+$mydomain; either don't rewrite message headers from other clients
+at all, or rewrite message headers and update incomplete addresses
+with the domain specified in the remote_header_rewrite_domain
+parameter.

+See the append_at_myorigin and append_dot_mydomain parameters
+for details of how domain names are appended to incomplete addresses.
+.PP
+Specify a list of zero or more of the following:

+Append the domain name in $myorigin or $mydomain when the
+client IP address matches $inet_interfaces. This is enabled by
+default.
+.br
+.IP "\fBpermit_mynetworks\fR"
+Append the domain name in $myorigin or $mydomain when the
+client IP address matches any network or network address listed in
+$mynetworks. This setting will not prevent remote mail header
+address rewriting when mail from a remote client is forwarded by
+a neighboring system.
+.br
+.IP "\fBpermit_sasl_authenticated \fR"
+Append the domain name in $myorigin or $mydomain when the
+client is successfully authenticated via the RFC 4954 (AUTH)
+protocol.
+.br
+.IP "\fBpermit_tls_clientcerts \fR"
+Append the domain name in $myorigin or $mydomain when the
+remote SMTP client TLS certificate fingerprint or public key fingerprint
+(Postfix 2.9 and later) is listed in $relay_clientcerts.
+The fingerprint digest algorithm is configurable via the
+smtpd_tls_fingerprint_digest parameter (hard\-coded as md5 prior to
+Postfix version 2.5).
+.br
+.IP "\fBpermit_tls_all_clientcerts \fR"
+Append the domain name in $myorigin or $mydomain when the
+remote SMTP client TLS certificate is successfully verified, regardless of
+whether it is listed on the server, and regardless of the certifying
+authority.
+.br
+.IP "\fBcheck_address_map \fItype:table\fR \fR"
+.IP "\fB\fItype:table\fR \fR"
+Append the domain name in $myorigin or $mydomain when the

+.SH local_recipient_maps (default: proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps)
+Lookup tables with all names or addresses of local recipients:
+a recipient address is local when its domain matches $mydestination,
+$inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces. Specify @domain as a
+wild\-card for domains that do not have a valid recipient list.
+Technically, tables listed with $local_recipient_maps are used as
+lists: Postfix needs to know only if a lookup string is found or
+not, but it does not use the result from table lookup.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+If this parameter is non\-empty (the default), then the Postfix SMTP
+server will reject mail for unknown local users.
+.PP
+To turn off local recipient checking in the Postfix SMTP server,
+specify "local_recipient_maps =" (i.e. empty).
+.PP
+The default setting assumes that you use the default Postfix local
+delivery agent for local delivery. You need to update the
+local_recipient_maps setting if:
+.IP \(bu
+You redefine the local delivery agent in master.cf.
+.IP \(bu
+You redefine the "local_transport" setting in main.cf.
+.IP \(bu
+You use the "luser_relay", "mailbox_transport", or "fallback_transport"
+feature of the Postfix \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent.
+.br
+.PP
+Details are described in the LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README file.
+.PP
+Beware: if the Postfix SMTP server runs chrooted, you need to access
+the passwd file via the \fBproxymap\fR(8) service, in order to overcome
+chroot access restrictions. The alternative, maintaining a copy of
+the system password file in the chroot jail is not practical.

+.SH local_transport (default: local:$myhostname)
+The default mail delivery transport and next\-hop destination
+for final delivery to domains listed with mydestination, and for
+[ipaddress] destinations that match $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces.
+This information can be overruled with the \fBtransport\fR(5) table.
+.PP
+By default, local mail is delivered to the transport called "local",
+which is just the name of a service that is defined the master.cf file.
+.PP
+Specify a string of the form \fItransport:nexthop\fR, where \fItransport\fR
+is the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf.
+The \fI:nexthop\fR destination is optional; its syntax is documented
+in the manual page of the corresponding delivery agent.
+.PP
+Beware: if you override the default local delivery agent then you
+need to review the LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README document, otherwise the
+SMTP server may reject mail for local recipients.
+.SH luser_relay (default: empty)
+Optional catch\-all destination for unknown \fBlocal\fR(8) recipients.
+By default, mail for unknown recipients in domains that match
+$mydestination, $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces is returned
+as undeliverable.
+.PP
+The luser_relay value is not subject to Postfix configuration
+parameter $name expansion. Instead, the following $name expansions
+are done:
+.IP "\fB$domain\fR"
+The recipient domain.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$extension\fR"
+The recipient address extension.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$home\fR"
+The recipient's home directory.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$local\fR"
+The entire recipient address localpart.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient\fR"
+The full recipient address.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$recipient_delimiter\fR"
+The address extension delimiter that was found in the recipient
+address (Postfix 2.11 and later), or the system\-wide recipient
+address extension delimiter (Postfix 2.10 and earlier).
+.br
+.IP "\fB$shell\fR"
+The recipient's login shell.
+.br
+.IP "\fB$user\fR"
+The recipient username.
+.br
+.IP "\fB${name?value}\fR"
+Expands to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR has a non\-empty value.
+.br
+.IP "\fB${name:value}\fR"
+Expands to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR has an empty value.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Instead of $name you can also specify ${name} or $(name).
+.PP
+Note: luser_relay works only for the Postfix \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent.
+.PP
+Note: if you use this feature for accounts not in the UNIX password
+file, then you must specify "local_recipient_maps =" (i.e. empty)
+in the main.cf file, otherwise the Postfix SMTP server will reject mail
+for non\-UNIX accounts with "User unknown in local recipient table".

+.SH mail_name (default: Postfix)
+The mail system name that is displayed in Received: headers, in
+the SMTP greeting banner, and in bounced mail.
+.SH mail_owner (default: postfix)
+The UNIX system account that owns the Postfix queue and most Postfix
+daemon processes. Specify the name of an unprivileged user account
+that does not share a user or group ID with other accounts, and that
+owns no other files
+or processes on the system. In particular, don't specify nobody
+or daemon. PLEASE USE A DEDICATED USER ID AND GROUP ID.

+.SH mail_release_date (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The Postfix release date, in "YYYYMMDD" format.
+.SH mail_spool_directory (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The directory where \fBlocal\fR(8) UNIX\-style mailboxes are kept. The
+default setting depends on the system type. Specify a name ending
+in / for maildir\-style delivery.
+.PP
+Note: maildir delivery is done with the privileges of the recipient.
+If you use the mail_spool_directory setting for maildir style
+delivery, then you must create the top\-level maildir directory in
+advance. Postfix will not create it.

+\fImajor\fR.\fIminor\fR.\fIpatchlevel\fR. Experimental releases
+also include the release date. The version string can be used in,
+for example, the SMTP greeting banner.
+.SH mailbox_command (default: empty)
+Optional external command that the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent should
+use for mailbox delivery. The command is run with the user ID and
+the primary group ID privileges of the recipient. Exception:
+command delivery for root executes with $default_privs privileges.
+This is not a problem, because 1) mail for root should always be
+aliased to a real user and 2) don't log in as root, use "su" instead.

+.PP
+Unlike other Postfix configuration parameters, the mailbox_command
+parameter is not subjected to $name substitutions. This is to make
+it easier to specify shell syntax (see example below).
+.PP
+If you can, avoid shell meta characters because they will force
+Postfix to run an expensive shell process. If you're delivering
+via "procmail" then running a shell won't make a noticeable difference
+in the total cost.

+How to lock a UNIX\-style \fBlocal\fR(8) mailbox before attempting delivery.
+For a list of available file locking methods, use the "\fBpostconf
+\-l\fR" command.
+.PP
+This setting is ignored with \fBmaildir\fR style delivery,
+because such deliveries are safe without explicit locks.
+.PP
+Note: The \fBdotlock\fR method requires that the recipient UID or
+GID has write access to the parent directory of the mailbox file.
+.PP
+Note: the default setting of this parameter is system dependent.
+.SH mailbox_size_limit (default: 51200000)
+The maximal size of any \fBlocal\fR(8) individual mailbox or maildir
+file, or zero (no limit). In fact, this limits the size of any
+file that is written to upon local delivery, including files written
+by external commands that are executed by the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery

+.SH maillog_file (default: empty)
+The name of an optional logfile that is written by the Postfix
+\fBpostlogd\fR(8) service. An empty value selects logging to \fBsyslogd\fR(8).
+Specify "/dev/stdout" to select logging to standard output. Stdout
+logging requires that Postfix is started with "postfix start\-fg".
+.PP
+Note 1: The maillog_file parameter value must contain a prefix
+that is specified with the maillog_file_prefixes parameter.
+.PP
+Note 2: Some Postfix non\-daemon programs may still log information

+whitespace.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.4 and later.
+.SH maillog_file_rotate_suffix (default: %Y%m%d\-%H%M%S)
+The format of the suffix to append to $maillog_file while rotating
+the file with "postfix logrotate". See \fBstrftime\fR(3) for syntax. The
+default suffix, YYYYMMDD\-HHMMSS, allows logs to be rotated frequently.

+patterns. A "/file/name" pattern is replaced by its contents; a
+"type:table" lookup table is matched when a table entry matches a
+lookup string (the lookup result is ignored).
+.PP
+The list is matched left to right, and the search stops on the
+first match. Specify "!pattern" to exclude an address or network
+block from the list. The form "!/file/name" is supported only
+in Postfix version 2.4 and later.
+.PP
+Note 1: Pattern matching of domain names is controlled by the

+therefore not be run frequently. This feature requires that the
+cache database supports the "delete" and "sequence" operators.
+Specify a zero interval to disable cache cleanup.
+.PP
+After each cache cleanup run, the \fBpostscreen\fR(8) daemon logs the

+The amount of time that \fBpostscreen\fR(8) will cache an expired
+temporary whitelist entry before it is removed. This prevents clients
+from being logged as "NEW" just because their cache entry expired
+an hour ago. It also prevents the cache from filling up with clients

+A mapping from actual DNSBL domain name which includes a secret
+password, to the DNSBL domain name that postscreen will reply with
+when it rejects mail. When no mapping is found, the actual DNSBL
+domain will be used.
+.PP
+For maximal stability it is best to use a file that is read
+into memory such as pcre:, regexp: or texthash: (texthash: is similar

+How much time a \fBpostscreen\fR(8) process may take to respond to
+a remote SMTP client command or to perform a cache operation before it
+is terminated by a built\-in watchdog timer. This is a safety
+mechanism that prevents \fBpostscreen\fR(8) from becoming non\-responsive

+.SH postscreen_whitelist_interfaces (default: static:all)
+A list of local \fBpostscreen\fR(8) server IP addresses where a
+non\-whitelisted remote SMTP client can obtain \fBpostscreen\fR(8)'s temporary
+whitelist status. This status is required before the client can
+talk to a Postfix SMTP server process. By default, a client can
+obtain \fBpostscreen\fR(8)'s whitelist status on any local \fBpostscreen\fR(8)
+server IP address.
+.PP
+When \fBpostscreen\fR(8) listens on both primary and backup MX
+addresses, the postscreen_whitelist_interfaces parameter can be
+configured to give the temporary whitelist status only when a client
+connects to a primary MX address. Once a client is whitelisted it
+can talk to a Postfix SMTP server on any address. Thus, clients
+that connect only to backup MX addresses will never become whitelisted,
+and will never be allowed to talk to a Postfix SMTP server process.
+.PP
+Specify a list of network addresses or network/netmask patterns,
+separated by commas and/or whitespace. The netmask specifies the
+number of bits in the network part of a host address. Continue long
+lines by starting the next line with whitespace.
+.PP
+You can also specify "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns. A
+"/file/name" pattern is replaced by its contents; a "type:table"
+lookup table is matched when a table entry matches a lookup string
+(the lookup result is ignored).
+.PP
+The list is matched left to right, and the search stops on the
+first match. Specify "!pattern" to exclude an address or network
+block from the list.
+.PP
+Note: IP version 6 address information must be specified inside
+[] in the postscreen_whitelist_interfaces value, and in files
+specified with "/file/name". IP version 6 addresses contain the
+":" character, and would otherwise be confused with a "type:table"
+pattern.

+.SH prepend_delivered_header (default: command, file, forward)
+The message delivery contexts where the Postfix \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery
+agent prepends a Delivered\-To: message header with the address
+that the mail was delivered to. This information is used for mail
+delivery loop detection.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix local delivery agent prepends a Delivered\-To:
+header when forwarding mail and when delivering to file (mailbox)
+and command. Turning off the Delivered\-To: header when forwarding
+mail is not recommended.
+.PP

+The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process.
+.SH propagate_unmatched_extensions (default: canonical, virtual)
+What address lookup tables copy an address extension from the lookup
+key to the lookup result.
+.PP
+For example, with a \fBvirtual\fR(5) mapping of "\fIjoe@example.com =>
+joe.user@example.net\fR", the address "\fIjoe+foo@example.com\fR"
+would rewrite to "\fIjoe.user+foo@example.net\fR".
+.PP
+Specify zero or more of \fBcanonical\fR, \fBvirtual\fR, \fBalias\fR,
+\fBforward\fR, \fBinclude\fR or \fBgeneric\fR. These cause
+address extension
+propagation with \fBcanonical\fR(5), \fBvirtual\fR(5), and \fBaliases\fR(5) maps,
+with \fBlocal\fR(8) .forward and :include: file lookups, and with \fBsmtp\fR(8)
+generic maps, respectively.
+.PP
+Note: enabling this feature for types other than \fBcanonical\fR
+and \fBvirtual\fR is likely to cause problems when mail is forwarded
+to other sites, especially with mail that is sent to a mailing list
+exploder address.

+.SH qmqpd_authorized_clients (default: empty)
+What remote QMQP clients are allowed to connect to the Postfix QMQP
+server port.
+.PP
+By default, no client is allowed to use the service. This is
+because the QMQP server will relay mail to any destination.
+.PP
+Specify a list of client patterns. A list pattern specifies a host
+name, a domain name, an internet address, or a network/mask pattern,

+When a pattern specifies a file name, its contents are substituted
+for the file name; when a pattern is a "type:table" table specification,
+table lookup is used instead.

+.SH reject_tempfail_action (default: defer_if_permit)
+The Postfix SMTP server's action when a reject\-type restriction
+fails due to a temporary error condition. Specify "defer" to defer
+the remote SMTP client request immediately. With the default
+"defer_if_permit" action, the Postfix SMTP server continues to look
+for opportunities to reject mail, and defers the client request
+only if it would otherwise be accepted.

+SMTP server will allow access with the permit_tls_clientcerts
+feature. The fingerprint digest algorithm is configurable via the
+smtpd_tls_fingerprint_digest parameter (hard\-coded as md5 prior to
+Postfix version 2.5).
+.PP
+Postfix lookup tables are in the form of (key, value) pairs.

+.SH relay_destination_concurrency_limit (default: $default_destination_concurrency_limit)
+The maximal number of parallel deliveries to the same destination
+via the relay message delivery transport. This limit is enforced

+first field in the entry in the master.cf file.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.

+The maximal number of recipients per message for the relay
+message delivery transport. This limit is enforced by the queue
+manager. The message delivery transport name is the first field in
+the entry in the master.cf file.
+.PP
+Setting this parameter to a value of 1 changes the meaning of
+relay_destination_concurrency_limit from concurrency per domain
+into concurrency per recipient.

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH relay_domains (default: Postfix >= 3.0: empty, Postfix < 3.0: $mydestination)
+What destination domains (and subdomains thereof) this system
+will relay mail to. For details about how
+the relay_domains value is used, see the description of the
+permit_auth_destination and reject_unauth_destination SMTP recipient
+restrictions.
+.PP
+Domains that match $relay_domains are delivered with the
+$relay_transport mail delivery transport. The SMTP server validates
+recipient addresses with $relay_recipient_maps and rejects non\-existent
+recipients. See also the relay domains address class in the
+ADDRESS_CLASS_README file.
+.PP
+Note: Postfix will not automatically forward mail for domains
+that list this system as their primary or backup MX host. See the
+permit_mx_backup restriction in the \fBpostconf\fR(5) manual page.
+.PP
+Specify a list of host or domain names, "/file/name" patterns
+or "type:table" lookup tables, separated by commas and/or whitespace.
+Continue long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. A
+"/file/name" pattern is replaced by its contents; a "type:table"
+lookup table is matched when a (parent) domain appears as lookup
+key. Specify "!pattern" to exclude a domain from the list. The form
+"!/file/name" is supported only in Postfix version 2.4 and later.
+.PP
+Pattern matching of domain names is controlled by the presence
+or absence of "relay_domains" in the parent_domain_matches_subdomains
+parameter value.

+The numerical Postfix SMTP server response code when a client
+request is rejected by the reject_unauth_destination recipient
+restriction.
+.PP
+Do not change this unless you have a complete understanding of RFC 5321.
+.SH relay_recipient_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables with all valid addresses in the domains
+that match $relay_domains. Specify @domain as a wild\-card for
+domains that have no valid recipient list, and become a source of
+backscatter mail: Postfix accepts spam for non\-existent recipients
+and then floods innocent people with undeliverable mail. Technically,
+tables
+listed with $relay_recipient_maps are used as lists: Postfix needs
+to know only if a lookup string is found or not, but it does not
+use the result from table lookup.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+If this parameter is non\-empty, then the Postfix SMTP server will reject
+mail to unknown relay users. This feature is off by default.

+The default mail delivery transport and next\-hop destination for
+remote delivery to domains listed with $relay_domains. In order of
+decreasing precedence, the nexthop destination is taken from
+$relay_transport, $sender_dependent_relayhost_maps, $relayhost, or
+from the recipient domain. This information can be overruled with
+the \fBtransport\fR(5) table.
+.PP
+Specify a string of the form \fItransport:nexthop\fR, where \fItransport\fR
+is the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf.
+The \fI:nexthop\fR destination is optional; its syntax is documented
+in the manual page of the corresponding delivery agent.
+.PP
+See also the relay domains address class in the ADDRESS_CLASS_README
+file.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH relayhost (default: empty)

+domains in recipient addresses. This information is overruled with
+relay_transport, sender_dependent_default_transport_maps,
+default_transport, sender_dependent_relayhost_maps
+and with the \fBtransport\fR(5) table.
+.PP
+On an intranet, specify the organizational domain name. If your
+internal DNS uses no MX records, specify the name of the intranet
+gateway host instead.
+.PP
+In the case of SMTP, specify a domain name, hostname, hostname:port,
+[hostname]:port, [hostaddress] or [hostaddress]:port. The form
+[hostname] turns off MX lookups.

+considers local.

+.SH require_home_directory (default: no)
+Require that a \fBlocal\fR(8) recipient's home directory exists
+before mail delivery is attempted. By default this test is disabled.
+It can be useful for environments that import home directories to
+the mail server (IMPORTING HOME DIRECTORIES IS NOT RECOMMENDED).
+.SH reset_owner_alias (default: no)
+Reset the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent's idea of the owner\-alias
+attribute, when delivering mail to a child alias that does not have
+its own owner alias.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.8 and later. With older
+Postfix releases, the behavior is as if this parameter is set to
+"yes".
+.PP
+As documented in \fBaliases\fR(5), when an alias \fIname\fR has a
+companion alias named owner\-\fIname\fR, this will replace the
+envelope sender address, so that delivery errors will be
+reported to the owner alias instead of the sender. This configuration
+is recommended for mailing lists.
+.PP
+A less known property of the owner alias is that it also forces
+the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent to write local and remote addresses
+from alias expansion to a new queue file, instead of attempting to
+deliver mail to local addresses as soon as they come out of alias
+expansion.
+.PP
+Writing local addresses from alias expansion to a new queue
+file allows for robust handling of temporary delivery errors: errors
+with one local member have no effect on deliveries to other members
+of the list. On the other hand, delivery to local addresses as
+soon as they come out of alias expansion is fragile: a temporary
+error with one local address from alias expansion will cause the
+entire alias to be expanded repeatedly until the error goes away,
+or until the message expires in the queue. In that case, a problem
+with one list member results in multiple message deliveries to other
+list members.
+.PP
+The default behavior of Postfix 2.8 and later is to keep the
+owner\-alias attribute of the parent alias, when delivering mail to
+a child alias that does not have its own owner alias. Then, local
+addresses from that child alias will be written to a new queue file,
+and a temporary error with one local address will not affect delivery
+to other mailing list members.
+.PP
+Unfortunately, older Postfix releases reset the owner\-alias
+attribute when delivering mail to a child alias that does not have
+its own owner alias. To be precise, this resets only the decision
+to create a new queue file, not the decision to override the envelope
+sender address. The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent then attempts to
+deliver local addresses as soon as they come out of child alias
+expansion. If delivery to any address from child alias expansion
+fails with a temporary error condition, the entire mailing list may
+be expanded repeatedly until the mail expires in the queue, resulting
+in multiple deliveries of the same message to mailing list members.
+.SH resolve_dequoted_address (default: yes)
+Resolve a recipient address safely instead of correctly, by
+looking inside quotes.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix address resolver does not quote the
+address localpart as per RFC 822, so that additional @ or % or !
+operators remain visible. This behavior is safe but it is also
+technically incorrect.
+.PP
+If you specify "resolve_dequoted_address = no", then
+the Postfix
+resolver will not know about additional @ etc. operators in the
+address localpart. This opens opportunities for obscure mail relay
+attacks with user@domain@domain addresses when Postfix provides
+backup MX service for Sendmail systems.
+.SH resolve_null_domain (default: no)
+Resolve an address that ends in the "@" null domain as if the
+local hostname were specified, instead of rejecting the address as
+invalid.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+Earlier versions always resolve the null domain as the local
+hostname.
+.PP
+The Postfix SMTP server uses this feature to reject mail from
+or to addresses that end in the "@" null domain, and from addresses
+that rewrite into a form that ends in the "@" null domain.
+.SH resolve_numeric_domain (default: no)
+Resolve "user@ipaddress" as "user@[ipaddress]", instead of
+rejecting the address as invalid.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH rewrite_service_name (default: rewrite)
+The name of the address rewriting service. This service rewrites
+addresses to standard form and resolves them to a (delivery method,
+next\-hop host, recipient) triple.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH sample_directory (default: /etc/postfix)
+The name of the directory with example Postfix configuration files.
+Starting with Postfix 2.1, these files have been replaced with the
+\fBpostconf\fR(5) manual page.
+.SH send_cyrus_sasl_authzid (default: no)
+When authenticating to a remote SMTP or LMTP server with the
+default setting "no", send no SASL authoriZation ID (authzid); send
+only the SASL authentiCation ID (authcid) plus the authcid's password.
+.PP
+The non\-default setting "yes" enables the behavior of older
+Postfix versions. These always send a SASL authzid that is equal
+to the SASL authcid, but this causes interoperability problems
+with some SMTP servers.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.4.4 and later.
+.SH sender_based_routing (default: no)
+This parameter should not be used. It was replaced by sender_dependent_relayhost_maps
+in Postfix version 2.3.
+.SH sender_bcc_maps (default: empty)
+Optional BCC (blind carbon\-copy) address lookup tables, indexed
+by sender address. The BCC address (multiple results are not
+supported) is added when mail enters from outside of Postfix.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+The table search order is as follows:
+.IP \(bu
+Look up the "user+extension@domain.tld" address including the
+optional address extension.
+.IP \(bu
+Look up the "user@domain.tld" address without the optional
+address extension.
+.IP \(bu
+Look up the "user+extension" address local part when the

+.IP \(bu
+Look up the "user" address local part when the sender domain
+equals $myorigin, $mydestination, $inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces.
+.IP \(bu
+Look up the "@domain.tld" part.
+.br
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix 2.3 and later the BCC address is added as if it
+was specified with NOTIFY=NONE. The sender will not be notified
+when the BCC address is undeliverable, as long as all down\-stream
+software implements RFC 3461.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix 2.2 and earlier the sender will be notified
+when the BCC address is undeliverable.

+With "smtp_always_send_ehlo = no", the Postfix SMTP client sends
+EHLO only when
+the word "ESMTP" appears in the server greeting banner (example:
+220 spike.porcupine.org ESMTP Postfix).
+.SH smtp_balance_inet_protocols (default: yes)
+When a remote destination resolves to a combination of IPv4 and
+IPv6 addresses, ensure that the Postfix SMTP client can try both
+address types before it runs into the smtp_mx_address_limit.
+.PP
+This avoids an interoperability problem when a destination resolves
+to primarily IPv6 addresses, the smtp_address_limit feature eliminates
+most or all IPv4 addresses, and the destination is not reachable over
+IPv6.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_bind_address (default: empty)
+An optional numerical network address that the Postfix SMTP client
+should bind to when making an IPv4 connection.

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH smtp_cname_overrides_servername (default: version dependent)
+When the remote SMTP servername is a DNS CNAME, replace the
+servername with the result from CNAME expansion for the purpose of
+logging, SASL password lookup, TLS
+policy decisions, or TLS certificate verification. The value "no"
+hardens Postfix smtp_tls_per_site hostname\-based policies against
+false hostname information in DNS CNAME records, and makes SASL
+password file lookups more predictable. This is the default setting
+as of Postfix 2.3.
+.PP
+When DNS CNAME records are validated with secure DNS lookups
+(smtp_dns_support_level = dnssec), they are always allowed to
+override the above servername (Postfix 2.11 and later).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2.9 and later.
+.SH smtp_connect_timeout (default: 30s)
+The Postfix SMTP client time limit for completing a TCP connection, or
+zero (use the operating system built\-in time limit).
+.PP
+When no connection can be made within the deadline, the Postfix
+SMTP client
+tries the next address on the mail exchanger list. Specify 0 to
+disable the time limit (i.e. use whatever timeout is implemented by
+the operating system).
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtp_connection_cache_destinations (default: empty)
+Permanently enable SMTP connection caching for the specified
+destinations. With SMTP connection caching, a connection is not
+closed immediately after completion of a mail transaction. Instead,
+the connection is kept open for up to $smtp_connection_cache_time_limit
+seconds. This allows connections to be reused for other deliveries,
+and can improve mail delivery performance.
+.PP
+Specify a comma or white space separated list of destinations

+if mail is sent via a relay host: a relay host name (without
+[] or non\-default TCP port), as specified in main.cf or in the
+transport map,
+.IP \(bu
+if mail is sent via a UNIX\-domain socket: a pathname (without
+the unix: prefix),

+lookups is ignored.
+.br
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_connection_cache_on_demand (default: yes)
+Temporarily enable SMTP connection caching while a destination
+has a high volume of mail in the active queue. With SMTP connection
+caching, a connection is not closed immediately after completion
+of a mail transaction. Instead, the connection is kept open for
+up to $smtp_connection_cache_time_limit seconds. This allows
+connections to be reused for other deliveries, and can improve mail
+delivery performance.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_connection_cache_time_limit (default: 2s)
+When SMTP connection caching is enabled, the amount of time that
+an unused SMTP client socket is kept open before it is closed. Do
+not specify larger values without permission from the remote sites.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_connection_reuse_count_limit (default: 0)
+When SMTP connection caching is enabled, the number of times
+that an SMTP session may be reused before it is closed, or zero (no
+limit). With a reuse count limit of N, a connection is used up to
+N+1 times.
+.PP
+NOTE: This feature is unsafe. When a high\-volume destination
+has multiple inbound MTAs, then the slowest inbound MTA will attract
+the most connections to that destination. This limitation does not
+exist with the smtp_connection_reuse_time_limit feature.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11.
+.SH smtp_connection_reuse_time_limit (default: 300s)
+The amount of time during which Postfix will use an SMTP
+connection repeatedly. The timer starts when the connection is
+initiated (i.e. it includes the connect, greeting and helo latency,
+in addition to the latencies of subsequent mail delivery transactions).
+.PP
+This feature addresses a performance stability problem with
+remote SMTP servers. This problem is not specific to Postfix: it
+can happen when any MTA sends large amounts of SMTP email to a site
+that has multiple MX hosts.
+.PP
+The problem starts when one of a set of MX hosts becomes slower
+than the rest. Even though SMTP clients connect to fast and slow
+MX hosts with equal probability, the slow MX host ends up with more
+simultaneous inbound connections than the faster MX hosts, because
+the slow MX host needs more time to serve each client request.
+.PP
+The slow MX host becomes a connection attractor. If one MX
+host becomes N times slower than the rest, it dominates mail delivery
+latency unless there are more than N fast MX hosts to counter the
+effect. And if the number of MX hosts is smaller than N, the mail
+delivery latency becomes effectively that of the slowest MX host
+divided by the total number of MX hosts.
+.PP
+The solution uses connection caching in a way that differs from
+Postfix version 2.2. By limiting the amount of time during which a connection
+can be used repeatedly (instead of limiting the number of deliveries
+over that connection), Postfix not only restores fairness in the
+distribution of simultaneous connections across a set of MX hosts,
+it also favors deliveries over connections that perform well, which
+is exactly what we want.
+.PP
+The default reuse time limit, 300s, is comparable to the various
+smtp transaction timeouts which are fair estimates of maximum excess
+latency for a slow delivery. Note that hosts may accept thousands
+of messages over a single connection within the default connection
+reuse time limit. This number is much larger than the default Postfix
+version 2.2 limit of 10 messages per cached connection. It may prove necessary
+to lower the limit to avoid interoperability issues with MTAs that
+exhibit bugs when many messages are delivered via a single connection.
+A lower reuse time limit risks losing the benefit of connection
+reuse when the average connection and mail delivery latency exceeds
+the reuse time limit.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_data_done_timeout (default: 600s)
+The Postfix SMTP client time limit for sending the SMTP ".", and
+for receiving the remote SMTP server response.
+.PP
+When no response is received within the deadline, a warning is
+logged that the mail may be delivered multiple times.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtp_data_init_timeout (default: 120s)
+The Postfix SMTP client time limit for sending the SMTP DATA command,
+and for receiving the remote SMTP server response.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtp_data_xfer_timeout (default: 180s)
+The Postfix SMTP client time limit for sending the SMTP message content.
+When the connection makes no progress for more than $smtp_data_xfer_timeout
+seconds the Postfix SMTP client terminates the transfer.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtp_defer_if_no_mx_address_found (default: no)
+Defer mail delivery when no MX record resolves to an IP address.
+.PP
+The default (no) is to return the mail as undeliverable. With older
+Postfix versions the default was to keep trying to deliver the mail
+until someone fixed the MX record or until the mail was too old.
+.PP
+Note: the Postfix SMTP client always ignores MX records with equal
+or worse preference
+than the local MTA itself.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH smtp_delivery_status_filter (default: $default_delivery_status_filter)
+Optional filter for the \fBsmtp\fR(8) delivery agent to change the
+delivery status code or explanatory text of successful or unsuccessful
+deliveries. See default_delivery_status_filter for details.
+.PP
+NOTE: This feature modifies Postfix SMTP client error or non\-error
+messages that may or may not be derived from remote SMTP server
+responses. In contrast, the smtp_reply_filter feature modifies
+remote SMTP server responses only.
+.SH smtp_destination_concurrency_limit (default: $default_destination_concurrency_limit)
+The maximal number of parallel deliveries to the same destination
+via the smtp message delivery transport. This limit is enforced by
+the queue manager. The message delivery transport name is the first
+field in the entry in the master.cf file.
+.SH smtp_destination_recipient_limit (default: $default_destination_recipient_limit)
+The maximal number of recipients per message for the smtp
+message delivery transport. This limit is enforced by the queue
+manager. The message delivery transport name is the first field in
+the entry in the master.cf file.
+.PP
+Setting this parameter to a value of 1 changes the meaning of

+Lookup tables, indexed by the remote SMTP server address, with
+case insensitive lists of EHLO keywords (pipelining, starttls, auth,
+etc.) that the Postfix SMTP client will ignore in the EHLO response from a
+remote SMTP server. See smtp_discard_ehlo_keywords for details. The

+.SH smtp_dns_support_level (default: empty)
+Level of DNS support in the Postfix SMTP client. With
+"smtp_dns_support_level" left at its empty default value, the legacy
+"disable_dns_lookups" parameter controls whether DNS is enabled in
+the Postfix SMTP client, otherwise the legacy parameter is ignored.
+.PP
+Specify one of the following:
+.IP "\fBdisabled\fR"
+Disable DNS lookups. No MX lookups are performed and hostname
+to address lookups are unconditionally "native". This setting is
+not appropriate for hosts that deliver mail to the public Internet.
+Some obsolete how\-to documents recommend disabling DNS lookups in
+some configurations with content_filters. This is no longer required
+and strongly discouraged.
+.br
+.IP "\fBenabled\fR"
+Enable DNS lookups. Nexthop destination domains not enclosed
+in "[]" will be subject to MX lookups. If "dns" and "native" are
+included in the "smtp_host_lookup" parameter value, DNS will be
+queried first to resolve MX\-host A records, followed by "native"
+lookups if no answer is found in DNS.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdnssec\fR"
+Enable DNSSEC
+lookups. The "dnssec" setting differs from the "enabled" setting
+above in the following ways:
+.IP \(bu
+Any MX lookups will set
+RES_USE_DNSSEC and RES_USE_EDNS0 to request DNSSEC\-validated
+responses. If the MX response is DNSSEC\-validated the corresponding
+hostnames are considered validated.
+.IP \(bu
+The address lookups of
+validated hostnames are also validated, (provided of course
+"smtp_host_lookup" includes "dns", see below).
+.IP \(bu
+Temporary
+failures in DNSSEC\-enabled hostname\-to\-address resolution block any
+"native" lookups. Additional "native" lookups only happen when
+DNSSEC lookups hard\-fail (NODATA or NXDOMAIN).
+.br
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+The Postfix SMTP client considers non\-MX "[nexthop]" and
+"[nexthop]:port" destinations equivalent to statically\-validated
+MX records of the form "nexthop. IN MX 0 nexthop." Therefore,
+with "dnssec" support turned on, validated hostname\-to\-address
+lookups apply to the nexthop domain of any "[nexthop]" or
+"[nexthop]:port" destination. This is also true for LMTP "inet:host"
+and "inet:host:port" destinations, as LMTP hostnames are never
+subject to MX lookups.
+.PP
+The "dnssec" setting is recommended only if you plan to use the
+dane or dane\-only TLS security
+level, otherwise enabling DNSSEC support in Postfix offers no
+additional security. Postfix DNSSEC support relies on an upstream
+recursive nameserver that validates DNSSEC signatures. Such a DNS
+server will always filter out forged DNS responses, even when Postfix
+itself is not configured to use DNSSEC.
+.PP
+When using Postfix DANE support the "smtp_host_lookup" parameter
+should include "dns", as DANE is not applicable
+to hosts resolved via "native" lookups.
+.PP
+As mentioned above, Postfix is not a validating stub
+resolver; it relies on the system's configured DNSSEC\-validating
+recursive
+nameserver to perform all DNSSEC validation. Since this
+nameserver's DNSSEC\-validated responses will be fully trusted, it
+is strongly recommended that the MTA host have a local DNSSEC\-validating
+recursive caching nameserver listening on a loopback address, and
+be configured to use only this nameserver for all lookups. Otherwise,
+Postfix may remain subject to man\-in\-the\-middle attacks that forge
+responses from the recursive nameserver
+.PP
+DNSSEC support requires a version of Postfix compiled against a
+reasonably\-modern DNS \fBresolver\fR(3) library that implements the
+RES_USE_DNSSEC and RES_USE_EDNS0 resolver options.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.SH smtp_enforce_tls (default: no)
+Enforcement mode: require that remote SMTP servers use TLS
+encryption, and never send mail in the clear. This also requires
+that the remote SMTP server hostname matches the information in
+the remote server certificate, and that the remote SMTP server
+certificate was issued by a CA that is trusted by the Postfix SMTP
+client. If the certificate doesn't verify or the hostname doesn't
+match, delivery is deferred and mail stays in the queue.
+.PP
+The server hostname is matched against all names provided as
+dNSNames in the SubjectAlternativeName. If no dNSNames are specified,
+the CommonName is checked. The behavior may be changed with the
+smtp_tls_enforce_peername option.
+.PP
+This option is useful only if you are definitely sure that you
+will only connect to servers that support RFC 2487 _and_ that
+provide valid server certificates. Typical use is for clients that
+send all their email to a dedicated mailhub.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later. With
+Postfix 2.3 and later use smtp_tls_security_level instead.
+.SH smtp_fallback_relay (default: $fallback_relay)
+Optional list of relay hosts for SMTP destinations that can't be
+found or that are unreachable. With Postfix 2.2 and earlier this
+parameter is called fallback_relay.
+.PP
+By default, mail is returned to the sender when a destination is
+not found, and delivery is deferred when a destination is unreachable.
+.PP
+With bulk email deliveries, it can be beneficial to run the
+fallback relay MTA on the same host, so that it can reuse the sender
+IP address. This speeds up deliveries that are delayed by IP\-based
+reputation systems (greylist, etc.).
+.PP
+The fallback relays must be SMTP destinations. Specify a domain,
+host, host:port, [host]:port, [address] or [address]:port; the form
+[host] turns off MX lookups. If you specify multiple SMTP
+destinations, Postfix will try them in the specified order.
+.PP
+To prevent mailer loops between MX hosts and fall\-back hosts,
+Postfix version 2.2 and later will not use the fallback relays for
+destinations that it is MX host for (assuming DNS lookup is turned on).
+.SH smtp_generic_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables that perform address rewriting in the
+Postfix SMTP client, typically to transform a locally valid address into
+a globally valid address when sending mail across the Internet.
+This is needed when the local machine does not have its own Internet
+domain name, but uses something like \fIlocaldomain.local\fR
+instead.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+The table format and lookups are documented in \fBgeneric\fR(5);
+examples are shown in the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README and

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH smtp_helo_name (default: $myhostname)
+The hostname to send in the SMTP HELO or EHLO command.
+.PP
+The default value is the machine hostname. Specify a hostname or
+[ip.add.re.ss].
+.PP
+This information can be specified in the main.cf file for all SMTP

+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtp_host_lookup (default: dns)
+What mechanisms the Postfix SMTP client uses to look up a host's
+IP address. This parameter is ignored when DNS lookups are disabled
+(see: disable_dns_lookups and smtp_dns_support_level). The "dns"
+mechanism is always tried before "native" if both are listed.
+.PP
+Specify one of the following:
+.IP "\fBdns\fR"
+Hosts can be found in the DNS (preferred).
+.br
+.IP "\fBnative\fR"
+Use the native naming service only (nsswitch.conf, or equivalent
+mechanism).
+.br

+Use the native service for hosts not found in the DNS.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH smtp_line_length_limit (default: 998)
+The maximal length of message header and body lines that Postfix
+will send via SMTP. This limit does not include the <CR><LF>
+at the end of each line. Longer lines are broken by inserting
+"<CR><LF><SPACE>", to minimize the damage to MIME
+formatted mail.
+.PP
+The Postfix limit of 998 characters not including <CR><LF>
+is consistent with the SMTP limit of 1000 characters including
+<CR><LF>. The Postfix limit was 990 with Postfix 2.8
+and earlier.
+.SH smtp_mail_timeout (default: 300s)
+The Postfix SMTP client time limit for sending the MAIL FROM command,
+and for receiving the remote SMTP server response.

+available.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH smtp_mx_address_limit (default: 5)
+The maximal number of MX (mail exchanger) IP addresses that can
+result from Postfix SMTP client mail exchanger lookups, or zero (no
+limit). Prior to
+Postfix version 2.3, this limit was disabled by default.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH smtp_mx_session_limit (default: 2)
+The maximal number of SMTP sessions per delivery request before
+the Postfix SMTP client
+gives up or delivers to a fall\-back relay host, or zero (no
+limit). This restriction ignores sessions that fail to complete the
+SMTP initial handshake (Postfix version 2.2 and earlier) or that fail to
+complete the EHLO and TLS handshake (Postfix version 2.3 and later).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH smtp_never_send_ehlo (default: no)
+Never send EHLO at the start of an SMTP session. See also the
+smtp_always_send_ehlo parameter.
+.SH smtp_per_record_deadline (default: no)
+Change the behavior of the smtp_*_timeout time limits, from a
+time limit per read or write system call, to a time limit to send
+or receive a complete record (an SMTP command line, SMTP response
+line, SMTP message content line, or TLS protocol message). This
+limits the impact from hostile peers that trickle data one byte at

+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtp_reply_filter (default: empty)
+A mechanism to transform replies from remote SMTP servers one

+invalid responses.
+.PP
+Notes:
+.IP \(bu
+In the case of a multi\-line reply, the Postfix SMTP client
+uses the final reply line's numerical SMTP reply code and enhanced
+status code.
+.IP \(bu
+The numerical SMTP reply code (XYZ) takes precedence over
+the enhanced status code (X.Y.Z). When the enhanced status code
+initial digit differs from the SMTP reply code initial digit, or
+when no enhanced status code is present, the Postfix SMTP client

+order to finish a recipient address probe, or to verify that a
+cached session is still usable.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH smtp_sasl_auth_cache_name (default: empty)
+An optional table to prevent repeated SASL authentication
+failures with the same remote SMTP server hostname, username and
+password. Each table (key, value) pair contains a server name, a
+username and password, and the full server response. This information
+is stored when a remote SMTP server rejects an authentication attempt
+with a 535 reply code. As long as the smtp_sasl_password_maps
+information does no change, and as long as the smtp_sasl_auth_cache_name
+information does not expire (see smtp_sasl_auth_cache_time) the
+Postfix SMTP client avoids SASL authentication attempts with the
+same server, username and password, and instead bounces or defers
+mail as controlled with the smtp_sasl_auth_soft_bounce configuration
+parameter.
+.PP
+Use a per\-destination delivery concurrency of 1 (for example,
+"smtp_destination_concurrency_limit = 1",

+delivery agents may experience a login failure at the same time.
+.PP
+The table must be accessed via the proxywrite service, i.e. the
+map name must start with "proxy:". The table should be stored under
+the directory specified with the data_directory parameter.

+If non\-empty, a Postfix SMTP client filter for the remote SMTP
+server's list of offered SASL mechanisms. Different client and
+server implementations may support different mechanism lists; by
+default, the Postfix SMTP client will use the intersection of the
+two. smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter specifies an optional third mechanism
+list to intersect with.
+.PP
+Specify mechanism names, "/file/name" patterns or "type:table"
+lookup tables. The right\-hand side result from "type:table" lookups

+lookup is done only when sender\-dependent authentication is enabled.
+If no username:password entry is found, then the Postfix SMTP client
+will not attempt to authenticate to the remote host.

+The Postfix SMTP client opens the lookup table before going to
+chroot jail, so you can leave the password file in /etc/postfix.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by

+.SH smtp_sasl_path (default: empty)
+Implementation\-specific information that the Postfix SMTP client

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_sasl_tls_verified_security_options (default: $smtp_sasl_tls_security_options)
+The SASL authentication security options that the Postfix SMTP
+client uses for TLS encrypted SMTP sessions with a verified server
+certificate.
+.PP
+When mail is sent to the public MX host for the recipient's
+domain, server certificates are by default optional, and delivery
+proceeds even if certificate verification fails. For delivery via
+a submission service that requires SASL authentication, it may be
+appropriate to send plaintext passwords only when the connection
+to the server is strongly encrypted \fBand\fR the server identity
+is verified.
+.PP
+The smtp_sasl_tls_verified_security_options parameter makes it
+possible to only enable plaintext mechanisms when a secure connection
+to the server is available. Submission servers subject to this
+policy must either have verifiable certificates or offer suitable
+non\-plaintext SASL mechanisms.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later.
+.SH smtp_sasl_type (default: cyrus)
+The SASL plug\-in type that the Postfix SMTP client should use
+for authentication. The available types are listed with the
+"\fBpostconf \-A\fR" command.

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_send_dummy_mail_auth (default: no)
+Whether or not to append the "AUTH=<>" option to the MAIL
+FROM command in SASL\-authenticated SMTP sessions. The default is
+not to send this, to avoid problems with broken remote SMTP servers.
+Before Postfix 2.9 the behavior is as if "smtp_send_dummy_mail_auth

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.9 and later.
+.SH smtp_send_xforward_command (default: no)
+Send the non\-standard XFORWARD command when the Postfix SMTP server
+EHLO response announces XFORWARD support.
+.PP
+This allows a Postfix SMTP delivery agent, used for injecting mail
+into
+a content filter, to forward the name, address, protocol and HELO
+name of the original client to the content filter and downstream
+queuing SMTP server. This can produce more useful logging than
+localhost[127.0.0.1] etc.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH smtp_sender_dependent_authentication (default: no)
+Enable sender\-dependent authentication in the Postfix SMTP client; this is
+available only with SASL authentication, and disables SMTP connection
+caching to ensure that mail from different senders will use the
+appropriate credentials.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_skip_4xx_greeting (default: yes)
+Skip SMTP servers that greet with a 4XX status code (go away, try
+again later).
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP client moves on the next mail exchanger.
+Specify
+"smtp_skip_4xx_greeting = no" if Postfix should defer delivery
+immediately.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and earlier.
+Later Postfix versions always skip remote SMTP servers that greet
+with a
+4XX status code.
+.SH smtp_skip_5xx_greeting (default: yes)
+Skip remote SMTP servers that greet with a 5XX status code.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP client moves on the next mail
+exchanger. Specify "smtp_skip_5xx_greeting = no" if Postfix should
+bounce the mail immediately. Caution: the latter behavior appears
+to contradict RFC 2821.
+.SH smtp_skip_quit_response (default: yes)
+Do not wait for the response to the SMTP QUIT command.
+.SH smtp_starttls_timeout (default: 300s)
+Time limit for Postfix SMTP client write and read operations
+during TLS startup and shutdown handshake procedures.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_tcp_port (default: smtp)
+The default TCP port that the Postfix SMTP client connects to.
+Specify a symbolic name (see \fBservices\fR(5)) or a numeric port.
+.SH smtp_tls_CAfile (default: empty)
+A file containing CA certificates of root CAs trusted to sign
+either remote SMTP server certificates or intermediate CA certificates.
+These are loaded into memory before the \fBsmtp\fR(8) client enters the
+chroot jail. If the number of trusted roots is large, consider using
+smtp_tls_CApath instead, but note that the latter directory must be
+present in the chroot jail if the \fBsmtp\fR(8) client is chrooted. This
+file may also be used to augment the client certificate trust chain,
+but it is best to include all the required certificates directly in
+$smtp_tls_cert_file (or, Postfix >= 3.4 $smtp_tls_chain_files).
+.PP
+Specify "smtp_tls_CAfile = /path/to/system_CA_file" to use
+ONLY the system\-supplied default Certification Authority certificates.

+.PP
+Do not configure client certificates unless you \fBmust\fR present

+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+The best way to use the default settings is to comment out the above
+parameters in main.cf if present.
+.PP
+To enable remote SMTP servers to verify the Postfix SMTP client
+certificate, the issuing CA certificates must be made available to the

+certificate file, the client certificate first, then the issuing
+CA(s) (bottom\-up order).
+.PP
+Example: the certificate for "client.example.com" was issued by

+which case it is not necessary to have them in the smtp_tls_cert_file,
+smtp_tls_dcert_file (obsolete) or smtp_tls_eccert_file.
+.PP

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_chain_files (default: empty)
+List of one or more PEM files, each holding one or more private keys
+directly followed by a corresponding certificate chain. The file names
+are separated by commas and/or whitespace. This parameter obsoletes the
+legacy algorithm\-specific key and certificate file settings. When this
+parameter is non\-empty, the legacy parameters are ignored, and a warning
+is logged if any are also non\-empty.
+.PP
+With the proliferation of multiple private key algorithms-which,
+as of OpenSSL 1.1.1, include DSA (obsolete), RSA, ECDSA, Ed25519
+and Ed448-it is increasingly impractical to use separate
+parameters to configure the key and certificate chain for each
+algorithm. Therefore, Postfix now supports storing multiple keys and
+corresponding certificate chains in a single file or in a set of files.
+.PP
+Each key must appear \fBimmediately before\fR the corresponding
+certificate, optionally followed by additional issuer certificates that
+complete the certificate chain for that key. When multiple files are
+specified, they are equivalent to a single file that is concatenated
+from those files in the given order. Thus, while a key must always
+precede its certificate and issuer chain, it can be in a separate file,
+so long as that file is listed immediately before the file that holds
+the corresponding certificate chain. Once all the files are
+concatenated, the sequence of PEM objects must be: \fIkey1, cert1,
+[chain1], key2, cert2, [chain2], ..., keyN, certN, [chainN].\fR
+.PP
+Storing the private key in the same file as the corresponding
+certificate is more reliable. With the key and certificate in separate
+files, there is a chance that during key rollover a Postfix process
+might load a private key and certificate from separate files that don't
+match. Various operational errors may even result in a persistent
+broken configuration in which the certificate does not match the private
+key.
+.PP
+The file or files must contain at most one key of each type. If,
+for example, two or more RSA keys and corresponding chains are listed,
+depending on the version of OpenSSL either only the last one will be
+used or an configuration error may be detected. Note that while
+"Ed25519" and "Ed448" are considered separate algorithms, the various
+ECDSA curves (typically one of prime256v1, secp384r1 or secp521r1) are
+considered as different parameters of a single "ECDSA" algorithm, so it
+is not presently possible to configure keys for more than one ECDSA
+curve.

+This feature is available in Postfix 3.4 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_cipherlist (default: empty)
+Obsolete Postfix < 2.3 control for the Postfix SMTP client TLS
+cipher list. As this feature applies to all TLS security levels, it is easy
+to create interoperability problems by choosing a non\-default cipher
+list. Do not use a non\-default TLS cipher list on hosts that deliver email
+to the public Internet: you will be unable to send email to servers that
+only support the ciphers you exclude. Using a restricted cipher list
+may be more appropriate for an internal MTA, where one can exert some
+control over the TLS software and settings of the peer servers.
+.PP
+\fBNote:\fR do not use "" quotes around the parameter value.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix version 2.2. It is not used with
+Postfix 2.3 and later; use smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers instead.
+.SH smtp_tls_ciphers (default: medium)
+The minimum TLS cipher grade that the Postfix SMTP client
+will use with opportunistic TLS encryption. Cipher types listed in
+smtp_tls_exclude_ciphers are excluded from the base definition of
+the selected cipher grade. The default value is "medium" for
+Postfix releases after the middle of 2015, "export" for older
+releases.
+.PP
+When TLS is mandatory the cipher grade is chosen via the
+smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers configuration parameter, see there for syntax
+details. See smtp_tls_policy_maps for information on how to configure
+ciphers on a per\-destination basis.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later. With earlier Postfix
+releases only the smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers parameter is implemented,
+and opportunistic TLS always uses "export" or better (i.e. all) ciphers.
+.SH smtp_tls_connection_reuse (default: no)
+Try to make multiple deliveries per TLS\-encrypted connection.
+This uses the \fBtlsproxy\fR(8) service to encrypt an SMTP connection,
+uses the \fBscache\fR(8) service to save that connection, and relies on
+hints from the \fBqmgr\fR(8) daemon.

+.SH smtp_tls_dane_insecure_mx_policy (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The TLS policy for MX hosts with "secure" TLSA records when the
+nexthop destination security level is \fBdane\fR, but the MX
+record was found via an "insecure" MX lookup. The choices are:
+.IP "\fBmay\fR"
+The TLSA records will be ignored and TLS will be optional. If
+the MX host does not appear to support STARTTLS, or the STARTTLS
+handshake fails, mail may be sent in the clear.
+.br
+.IP "\fBencrypt\fR"
+The TLSA records will signal a requirement to use TLS. While
+TLS encryption will be required, authentication will not be performed.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdane\fR (default)"
+The TLSA records will be used just as with "secure" MX records.
+TLS encryption will be required, and, if at least one of the TLSA
+records is "usable", authentication will be required. When
+authentication succeeds, it will be logged only as "Trusted", not
+"Verified", because the MX host name could have been forged.
+.br
+.br
+The default setting for Postfix >= 3.6 is "dane" with
+"smtp_tls_security_level = dane", otherwise "may". This behavior
+was backported to Postfix versions 3.5.9, 3.4.19, 3.3.16. 3.2.21.
+With earlier
+Postfix versions the default setting was always "dane".
+.PP
+Though with "insecure" MX records an active attacker can
+compromise SMTP transport security by returning forged MX records,
+such attacks are "tamper\-evident" since any forged MX hostnames
+will be recorded in the mail logs. Attackers who place a high value
+staying hidden may be deterred from forging MX records.

+certificate. As of RFC 2487 the requirements for hostname checking
+for MTA clients are not specified.
+.PP
+This option can be set to "no" to disable strict peer name
+checking. This setting has no effect on sessions that are controlled
+via the smtp_tls_per_site table.
+.PP
+Disabling the hostname verification can make sense in closed
+environment where special CAs are created. If not used carefully,
+this option opens the danger of a "man\-in\-the\-middle" attack (the
+CommonName of this attacker will be logged).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later. With
+Postfix 2.3 and later use smtp_tls_security_level instead.
+.SH smtp_tls_exclude_ciphers (default: empty)
+List of ciphers or cipher types to exclude from the Postfix
+SMTP client cipher
+list at all TLS security levels. This is not an OpenSSL cipherlist, it is
+a simple list separated by whitespace and/or commas. The elements are a
+single cipher, or one or more "+" separated cipher properties, in which

+.SH smtp_tls_fingerprint_cert_match (default: empty)
+List of acceptable remote SMTP server certificate fingerprints for
+the "fingerprint" TLS security level (\fBsmtp_tls_security_level\fR =
+fingerprint). At this security level, Certification Authorities are not
+used, and certificate expiration times are ignored. Instead, server
+certificates are verified directly via their certificate fingerprint
+or public key fingerprint (Postfix 2.9 and later). The fingerprint
+is a message digest of the server certificate (or public key). The
+digest algorithm is selected via the \fBsmtp_tls_fingerprint_digest\fR
+parameter.
+.PP
+When an \fBsmtp_tls_policy_maps\fR table entry specifies the
+"fingerprint" security level, any "match" attributes in that entry specify
+the list of valid fingerprints for the corresponding destination. Multiple
+fingerprints can be combined with a "|" delimiter in a single match
+attribute, or multiple match attributes can be employed.
+.PP
+Example: Certificate fingerprint verification with internal mailhub.
+Two matching fingerprints are listed. The relayhost may be multiple
+physical hosts behind a load\-balancer, each with its own private/public

+.SH smtp_tls_fingerprint_digest (default: md5)
+The message digest algorithm used to construct remote SMTP server
+certificate fingerprints. At the "fingerprint" TLS security level
+(\fBsmtp_tls_security_level\fR = fingerprint), the server certificate is
+verified by directly matching its certificate fingerprint or its public
+key fingerprint (Postfix 2.9 and later). The fingerprint is the
+message digest of the server certificate (or its public key)
+using the selected
+algorithm. With a digest algorithm resistant to "second pre\-image"
+attacks, it is not feasible to create a new public key and a matching
+certificate (or public/private key\-pair) that has the same fingerprint.
+.PP
+The default algorithm is \fBmd5\fR; this is consistent with
+the backwards compatible setting of the digest used to verify client
+certificates in the SMTP server.
+.PP
+The best practice algorithm is now \fBsha1\fR. Recent advances in hash
+function cryptanalysis have led to md5 being deprecated in favor of sha1.
+However, as long as there are no known "second pre\-image" attacks
+against md5, its use in this context can still be considered safe.
+.PP
+While additional digest algorithms are often available with OpenSSL's
+libcrypto, only those used by libssl in SSL cipher suites are available to
+Postfix. For now this means just md5 or sha1.
+.PP
+To find the fingerprint of a specific certificate file, with a
+specific digest algorithm, run:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+$ openssl x509 \-noout \-fingerprint \-\fIdigest\fR \-in \fIcertfile\fR.pem
+.fi
+.ad

+.in -4
+.PP
+The text to the right of "=" sign is the desired fingerprint.

+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+To extract the public key fingerprint from an X.509 certificate,
+you need to extract the public key from the certificate and compute
+the appropriate digest of its DER (ASN.1) encoding. With OpenSSL
+the "\-pubkey" option of the "x509" command extracts the public
+key always in "PEM" format. We pipe the result to another OpenSSL
+command that converts the key to DER and then to the "dgst" command
+to compute the fingerprint.
+.PP
+The actual command to transform the key to DER format depends
+on the version of OpenSSL used. With OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later, the
+"pkey" command supports all key types. With OpenSSL 0.9.8 and
+earlier, the key type is always RSA (nobody uses DSA, and EC
+keys are not fully supported by 0.9.8), so the "rsa" command is

+.SH smtp_tls_force_insecure_host_tlsa_lookup (default: no)
+Lookup the associated DANE TLSA RRset even when a hostname is

+zones of unsigned zones are also unsigned in the absence of DLV or

+.SH smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers (default: medium)
+The minimum TLS cipher grade that the Postfix SMTP client will

+for most destinations with which you may want to enforce TLS, and
+is beyond the reach of today's cryptanalytic methods. See

+on a per\-destination basis.

+The following cipher grades are supported:
+.IP "\fBexport\fR"
+Enable "EXPORT" grade or better OpenSSL ciphers. The underlying
+cipherlist is specified via the tls_export_cipherlist configuration
+parameter, which you are strongly encouraged to not change. This
+choice is insecure and SHOULD NOT be used.
+.br
+.IP "\fBlow\fR"
+Enable "LOW" grade or better OpenSSL ciphers. The underlying
+cipherlist is specified via the tls_low_cipherlist configuration
+parameter, which you are strongly encouraged to not change. This
+choice is insecure and SHOULD NOT be used.
+.br
+.IP "\fBmedium\fR"
+Enable "MEDIUM" grade or better OpenSSL ciphers.
+The underlying cipherlist is specified via the tls_medium_cipherlist
+configuration parameter, which you are strongly encouraged to not change.
+.br
+.IP "\fBhigh\fR"
+Enable only "HIGH" grade OpenSSL ciphers. This setting may
+be appropriate when all mandatory TLS destinations (e.g. when all
+mail is routed to a suitably capable relayhost) support at least one
+"HIGH" grade cipher. The underlying cipherlist is specified via the
+tls_high_cipherlist configuration parameter, which you are strongly
+encouraged to not change.
+.br
+.IP "\fBnull\fR"
+Enable only the "NULL" OpenSSL ciphers, these provide authentication
+without encryption. This setting is only appropriate in the rare case
+that all servers are prepared to use NULL ciphers (not normally enabled
+in TLS servers). A plausible use\-case is an LMTP server listening on a
+UNIX\-domain socket that is configured to support "NULL" ciphers. The
+underlying cipherlist is specified via the tls_null_cipherlist
+configuration parameter, which you are strongly encouraged to not
+change.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+The underlying cipherlists for grades other than "null" include
+anonymous ciphers, but these are automatically filtered out if the
+Postfix SMTP client is configured to verify server certificates.
+You are very unlikely to need to take any steps to exclude anonymous
+ciphers, they are excluded automatically as necessary. If you must
+exclude anonymous ciphers at the "may" or "encrypt" security levels,
+when the Postfix SMTP client does not need or use peer certificates, set
+"smtp_tls_exclude_ciphers = aNULL". To exclude anonymous ciphers only when
+TLS is enforced, set "smtp_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers = aNULL".
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers (default: empty)
+Additional list of ciphers or cipher types to exclude from the
+Postfix SMTP client cipher list at mandatory TLS security levels. This list
+works in addition to the exclusions listed with smtp_tls_exclude_ciphers
+(see there for syntax details).
+.PP
+Starting with Postfix 2.6, the mandatory cipher exclusions can be
+specified on a per\-destination basis via the TLS policy "exclude"
+attribute. See smtp_tls_policy_maps for notes and examples.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols (default: !SSLv2, !SSLv3)
+List of SSL/TLS protocols that the Postfix SMTP client will use with
+mandatory TLS encryption. In main.cf the values are separated by
+whitespace, commas or colons. In the policy table "protocols" attribute
+(see smtp_tls_policy_maps) the only valid separator is colon. An
+empty value means allow all protocols. The valid protocol names, (see
+\\fBfBSSL_get_version\fR(3)\fR), are "SSLv2", "SSLv3" and "TLSv1". The
+default value is "!SSLv2, !SSLv3" for Postfix releases after the
+middle of 2015, "!SSLv2" for older releases.
+.PP
+With Postfix >= 2.5 the parameter syntax was expanded to support
+protocol exclusions. One can explicitly exclude "SSLv2" by setting
+"smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2". To exclude both "SSLv2" and
+"SSLv3" set "smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3". Listing
+the protocols to include, rather than protocols to exclude, is
+supported, but not recommended. The exclusion form more closely
+matches the underlying OpenSSL interface semantics.
+.PP
+The range of protocols advertised by an SSL/TLS client must be
+contiguous. When a protocol version is enabled, disabling any
+higher version implicitly disables all versions above that higher version.
+Thus, for example (assuming the OpenSSL library supports both SSLv2
+and SSLv3):
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !TLSv1
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+also disables any protocols version higher than TLSv1 leaving
+only "SSLv3" enabled.
+.PP
+Note: As of OpenSSL 1.0.1 two new protocols are defined, "TLSv1.1"
+and "TLSv1.2". When Postfix <= 2.5 is linked against OpenSSL 1.0.1
+or later, these, or any other new protocol versions, cannot be
+disabled except by also disabling "TLSv1" (typically leaving just
+"SSLv3"). The latest patch levels of Postfix >= 2.6, and all
+versions of Postfix >= 2.10 can explicitly disable support for
+"TLSv1.1" or "TLSv1.2".
+.PP
+OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduces support for "TLSv1.3". With Postfix
+>= 3.4 (or patch releases >= 3.0.14, 3.1.10, 3.2.7 and 3.3.2)
+this can be disabled, if need be, via "!TLSv1.3".
+.PP
+At the dane and
+dane\-only security
+levels, when usable TLSA records are obtained for the remote SMTP
+server, the Postfix SMTP client is obligated to include the SNI TLS
+extension in its SSL client hello message. This may help the remote
+SMTP server live up to its promise to provide a certificate that
+matches its TLSA records. Since TLS extensions require TLS 1.0 or
+later, the Postfix SMTP client must disable "SSLv2" and "SSLv3" when
+SNI is required. If you use "dane" or "dane\-only" do not disable
+TLSv1, except perhaps via the policy table for destinations which
+you are sure will support "TLSv1.1" or "TLSv1.2".

+.SH smtp_tls_per_site (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables with the Postfix SMTP client TLS usage
+policy by next\-hop destination and by remote SMTP server hostname.
+When both lookups succeed, the more specific per\-site policy (NONE,
+MUST, etc) overrides the less specific one (MAY), and the more secure
+per\-site policy (MUST, etc) overrides the less secure one (NONE).
+With Postfix 2.3 and later smtp_tls_per_site is strongly discouraged:
+use smtp_tls_policy_maps instead.
+.PP
+Use of the bare hostname as the per\-site table lookup key is
+discouraged. Always use the full destination nexthop (enclosed in
+[] with a possible ":port" suffix). A recipient domain or MX\-enabled
+transport next\-hop with no port suffix may look like a bare hostname,
+but is still a suitable \fIdestination\fR.
+.PP
+Specify a next\-hop destination or server hostname on the left\-hand
+side; no wildcards are allowed. The next\-hop destination is either
+the recipient domain, or the destination specified with a \fBtransport\fR(5)
+table, the relayhost parameter, or the relay_transport parameter.
+On the right hand side specify one of the following keywords:
+.IP "NONE"
+Don't use TLS at all. This overrides a less
+specific \fBMAY\fR lookup result from the alternate host or next\-hop
+lookup key, and overrides the global smtp_use_tls, smtp_enforce_tls,
+and smtp_tls_enforce_peername settings.
+.br
+.IP "MAY"
+Try to use TLS if the server announces support,
+otherwise use the unencrypted connection. This has less precedence
+than a more specific result (including \fBNONE\fR) from the alternate
+host or next\-hop lookup key, and has less precedence than the more
+specific global "smtp_enforce_tls = yes" or "smtp_tls_enforce_peername
+= yes".
+.br
+.IP "MUST_NOPEERMATCH"
+Require TLS encryption, but do not
+require that the remote SMTP server hostname matches the information
+in the remote SMTP server certificate, or that the server certificate
+was issued by a trusted CA. This overrides a less secure \fBNONE\fR
+or a less specific \fBMAY\fR lookup result from the alternate host
+or next\-hop lookup key, and overrides the global smtp_use_tls,
+smtp_enforce_tls and smtp_tls_enforce_peername settings.
+.br
+.IP "MUST"
+Require TLS encryption, require that the remote
+SMTP server hostname matches the information in the remote SMTP
+server certificate, and require that the remote SMTP server certificate
+was issued by a trusted CA. This overrides a less secure \fBNONE\fR
+and \fBMUST_NOPEERMATCH\fR or a less specific \fBMAY\fR lookup
+result from the alternate host or next\-hop lookup key, and overrides
+the global smtp_use_tls, smtp_enforce_tls and smtp_tls_enforce_peername
+settings.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+The above keywords correspond to the "none", "may", "encrypt" and
+"verify" security levels for the new smtp_tls_security_level parameter
+introduced in Postfix 2.3. Starting with Postfix 2.3, and independently
+of how the policy is specified, the smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers and
+smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols parameters apply when TLS encryption
+is mandatory. Connections for which encryption is optional typically
+enable all "export" grade and better ciphers (see smtp_tls_ciphers
+and smtp_tls_protocols).
+.PP
+As long as no secure DNS lookup mechanism is available, false
+hostnames in MX or CNAME responses can change the server hostname
+that Postfix uses for TLS policy lookup and server certificate
+verification. Even with a perfect match between the server hostname and
+the server certificate, there is no guarantee that Postfix is connected
+to the right server. See TLS_README (Closing a DNS loophole with obsolete
+per\-site TLS policies) for a possible work\-around.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later. With
+Postfix 2.3 and later use smtp_tls_policy_maps instead.
+.SH smtp_tls_policy_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables with the Postfix SMTP client TLS security
+policy by next\-hop destination; when a non\-empty value is specified,
+this overrides the obsolete smtp_tls_per_site parameter. See
+TLS_README for a more detailed discussion of TLS security levels.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+The TLS policy table is indexed by the full next\-hop destination,
+which is either the recipient domain, or the verbatim next\-hop
+specified in the transport table, $local_transport, $virtual_transport,
+$relay_transport or $default_transport. This includes any enclosing
+square brackets and any non\-default destination server port suffix. The
+LMTP socket type prefix (inet: or unix:) is not included in the lookup
+key.
+.PP
+Only the next\-hop domain, or $myhostname with LMTP over UNIX\-domain
+sockets, is used as the nexthop name for certificate verification. The
+port and any enclosing square brackets are used in the table lookup key,
+but are not used for server name verification.
+.PP
+When the lookup key is a domain name without enclosing square brackets
+or any \fI:port\fR suffix (typically the recipient domain), and the full
+domain is not found in the table, just as with the \fBtransport\fR(5) table,
+the parent domain starting with a leading "." is matched recursively. This
+allows one to specify a security policy for a recipient domain and all
+its sub\-domains.
+.PP
+The lookup result is a security level, followed by an optional list
+of whitespace and/or comma separated name=value attributes that override
+related main.cf settings. The TLS security levels in order of increasing
+security are:
+.IP "\fBnone\fR"
+No TLS. No additional attributes are supported at this level.
+.br
+.IP "\fBmay\fR"
+Opportunistic TLS. Since sending in the clear is acceptable,
+demanding stronger than default TLS security merely reduces
+interoperability. The optional "ciphers", "exclude", and "protocols"
+attributes (available for opportunistic TLS with Postfix >= 2.6)
+and "connection_reuse" attribute (Postfix >= 3.4) override the
+"smtp_tls_ciphers", "smtp_tls_exclude_ciphers", "smtp_tls_protocols",
+and
+"smtp_tls_connection_reuse" configuration parameters. When opportunistic
+TLS handshakes fail, Postfix retries the connection with TLS disabled.
+This allows mail delivery to sites with non\-interoperable TLS
+implementations.
+.br
+.IP "\fBencrypt\fR"
+Mandatory TLS encryption. At this level
+and higher, the optional "protocols" attribute overrides the main.cf
+smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols parameter, the optional "ciphers" attribute
+overrides the main.cf smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers parameter, the
+optional "exclude" attribute (Postfix >= 2.6) overrides the main.cf
+smtp_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers parameter, and the optional
+"connection_reuse" attribute (Postfix >= 3.4) overrides the
+main.cf smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter. In the policy table,
+multiple protocols or excluded ciphers must be separated by colons,
+as attribute values may not contain whitespace or commas.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdane\fR"
+Opportunistic DANE TLS. The TLS policy for the destination is
+obtained via TLSA records in DNSSEC. If no TLSA records are found,
+the effective security level used is may. If TLSA records are
+found, but none are usable, the effective security level is encrypt. When usable
+TLSA records are obtained for the remote SMTP server, the
+server certificate must match the TLSA records. RFC 7672 (DANE)
+TLS authentication and DNSSEC support is available with Postfix
+2.11 and later. The optional "connection_reuse" attribute (Postfix
+>= 3.4) overrides the main.cf smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdane\-only\fR"
+Mandatory DANE TLS. The TLS policy for the destination is
+obtained via TLSA records in DNSSEC. If no TLSA records are found,
+or none are usable, no connection is made to the server. When
+usable TLSA records are obtained for the remote SMTP server, the
+server certificate must match the TLSA records. RFC 7672 (DANE) TLS
+authentication and DNSSEC support is available with Postfix 2.11
+and later. The optional "connection_reuse" attribute (Postfix >=
+3.4) overrides the main.cf smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter.
+.br
+.IP "\fBfingerprint\fR"
+Certificate fingerprint
+verification. Available with Postfix 2.5 and later. At this security
+level, there are no trusted Certification Authorities. The certificate
+trust chain, expiration date, ... are not checked. Instead,
+the optional \fBmatch\fR attribute, or else the main.cf
+\fBsmtp_tls_fingerprint_cert_match\fR parameter, lists the certificate
+fingerprints or the public key fingerprint (Postfix 2.9 and later)
+of the valid server certificate. The digest
+algorithm used to calculate the fingerprint is selected by the
+\fBsmtp_tls_fingerprint_digest\fR parameter. Multiple fingerprints can
+be combined with a "|" delimiter in a single match attribute, or multiple
+match attributes can be employed. The ":" character is not used as a
+delimiter as it occurs between each pair of fingerprint (hexadecimal)
+digits. The optional "connection_reuse" attribute (Postfix >= 3.4)
+overrides the main.cf smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter.
+.br
+.IP "\fBverify\fR"
+Mandatory TLS verification. At this security
+level, DNS MX lookups are trusted to be secure enough, and the name
+verified in the server certificate is usually obtained indirectly via
+unauthenticated DNS MX lookups. The optional "match" attribute overrides
+the main.cf smtp_tls_verify_cert_match parameter. In the policy table,
+multiple match patterns and strategies must be separated by colons.
+In practice explicit control over matching is more common with the
+"secure" policy, described below. The optional "connection_reuse"
+attribute (Postfix >= 3.4) overrides the main.cf
+smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter.
+.br
+.IP "\fBsecure\fR"
+Secure\-channel TLS. At this security level, DNS
+MX lookups, though potentially used to determine the candidate next\-hop
+gateway IP addresses, are \fBnot\fR trusted to be secure enough for TLS
+peername verification. Instead, the default name verified in the server
+certificate is obtained directly from the next\-hop, or is explicitly
+specified via the optional \fBmatch\fR attribute which overrides the
+main.cf smtp_tls_secure_cert_match parameter. In the policy table,
+multiple match patterns and strategies must be separated by colons.
+The match attribute is most useful when multiple domains are supported by
+common server, the policy entries for additional domains specify matching
+rules for the primary domain certificate. While transport table overrides
+routing the secondary domains to the primary nexthop also allow secure
+verification, they risk delivery to the wrong destination when domains
+change hands or are re\-assigned to new gateways. With the "match"
+attribute approach, routing is not perturbed, and mail is deferred if
+verification of a new MX host fails. The optional "connection_reuse"
+attribute (Postfix >= 3.4) overrides the main.cf
+smtp_tls_connection_reuse parameter.

+.SH smtp_tls_protocols (default: !SSLv2, !SSLv3)
+List of TLS protocols that the Postfix SMTP client will exclude or
+include with opportunistic TLS encryption. The default value is
+"!SSLv2, !SSLv3" for Postfix releases after the middle of 2015,
+"!SSLv2" for older releases. Before Postfix 2.6, the Postfix SMTP
+client would use all protocols with opportunistic TLS.
+.PP
+In main.cf the values are separated by whitespace, commas or
+colons. In the policy table (see smtp_tls_policy_maps) the only valid
+separator is colon. An empty value means allow all protocols. The valid
+protocol names, (see \\fBfBSSL_get_version\fR(3)\fR), are "SSLv2", "SSLv3"
+and "TLSv1".
+.PP
+The range of protocols advertised by an SSL/TLS client must be
+contiguous. When a protocol version is enabled, disabling any
+higher version implicitly disables all versions above that higher version.
+Thus, for example (assuming the OpenSSL library supports both SSLv2
+and SSLv3):
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+smtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !TLSv1
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+also disables any protocols version higher than TLSv1 leaving
+only "SSLv3" enabled.
+.PP
+Note: As of OpenSSL 1.0.1 two new protocols are defined, "TLSv1.1"
+and "TLSv1.2". The latest patch levels of Postfix >= 2.6, and all
+versions of Postfix >= 2.10 can explicitly disable support for
+"TLSv1.1" or "TLSv1.2"
+.PP
+OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduces support for "TLSv1.3". With Postfix
+>= 3.4 (or patch releases >= 3.0.14, 3.1.10, 3.2.7 and 3.3.2)
+this can be disabled, if need be, via "!TLSv1.3".
+.PP
+To include a protocol list its name, to exclude it, prefix the name
+with a "!" character. To exclude SSLv2 for opportunistic TLS set
+"smtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2". To exclude both "SSLv2" and "SSLv3" set
+"smtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3". Explicitly listing the protocols to
+include, rather than protocols to exclude, is supported, but not
+recommended. The exclusion form more closely matches the underlying
+OpenSSL interface semantics.

+.SH smtp_tls_scert_verifydepth (default: 9)
+The verification depth for remote SMTP server certificates. A depth
+of 1 is sufficient if the issuing CA is listed in a local CA file.
+.PP
+The default verification depth is 9 (the OpenSSL default) for
+compatibility with earlier Postfix behavior. Prior to Postfix 2.5,
+the default value was 5, but the limit was not actually enforced. If
+you have set this to a lower non\-default value, certificates with longer
+trust chains may now fail to verify. Certificate chains with 1 or 2
+CAs are common, deeper chains are more rare and any number between 5
+and 9 should suffice in practice. You can choose a lower number if,
+for example, you trust certificates directly signed by an issuing CA
+but not any CAs it delegates to.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_secure_cert_match (default: nexthop, dot\-nexthop)
+How the Postfix SMTP client verifies the server certificate
+peername for the "secure" TLS security level. In a "secure" TLS policy table
+($smtp_tls_policy_maps) entry the optional "match" attribute
+overrides this main.cf setting.
+.PP
+This parameter specifies one or more patterns or strategies separated
+by commas, whitespace or colons. In the policy table the only valid
+separator is the colon character.
+.PP
+For a description of the pattern and strategy syntax see the
+smtp_tls_verify_cert_match parameter. The "hostname" strategy should
+be avoided in this context, as in the absence of a secure global DNS, using
+the results of MX lookups in certificate verification is not immune to active
+(man\-in\-the\-middle) attacks on DNS.

+.SH smtp_tls_security_level (default: empty)
+The default SMTP TLS security level for the Postfix SMTP client;
+when a non\-empty value is specified, this overrides the obsolete
+parameters smtp_use_tls, smtp_enforce_tls, and smtp_tls_enforce_peername.
+.PP
+Specify one of the following security levels:
+.IP "\fBnone\fR"
+No TLS. TLS will not be used unless enabled for specific
+destinations via smtp_tls_policy_maps.
+.br
+.IP "\fBmay\fR"
+Opportunistic TLS. Use TLS if this is supported by the remote
+SMTP server, otherwise use plaintext. Since
+sending in the clear is acceptable, demanding stronger than default TLS
+security merely reduces interoperability.
+The "smtp_tls_ciphers" and "smtp_tls_protocols" (Postfix >= 2.6)
+configuration parameters provide control over the protocols and
+cipher grade used with opportunistic TLS. With earlier releases the
+opportunistic TLS cipher grade is always "export" and no protocols
+are disabled.
+When TLS handshakes fail, the connection is retried with TLS disabled.
+This allows mail delivery to sites with non\-interoperable TLS
+implementations.
+.br
+.IP "\fBencrypt\fR"
+Mandatory TLS encryption. Since a minimum
+level of security is intended, it is reasonable to be specific about
+sufficiently secure protocol versions and ciphers. At this security level
+and higher, the main.cf parameters smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols and
+smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers specify the TLS protocols and minimum
+cipher grade which the administrator considers secure enough for
+mandatory encrypted sessions. This security level is not an appropriate
+default for systems delivering mail to the Internet.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdane\fR"
+Opportunistic DANE TLS. At this security level, the TLS policy
+for the destination is obtained via DNSSEC. For TLSA policy to be
+in effect, the destination domain's containing DNS zone must be
+signed and the Postfix SMTP client's operating system must be
+configured to send its DNS queries to a recursive DNS nameserver
+that is able to validate the signed records. Each MX host's DNS
+zone should also be signed, and should publish DANE TLSA (RFC 7672)
+records that specify how that MX host's TLS certificate is to be
+verified. TLSA records do not preempt the normal SMTP MX host
+selection algorithm, if some MX hosts support TLSA and others do
+not, TLS security will vary from delivery to delivery. It is up
+to the domain owner to configure their MX hosts and their DNS
+sensibly. To configure the Postfix SMTP client for DNSSEC lookups
+see the documentation for the smtp_dns_support_level main.cf
+parameter. When DNSSEC\-validated TLSA records are not found the
+effective tls security level is "may". When TLSA records are found,
+but are all unusable the effective security level is "encrypt". For
+purposes of protocol and cipher selection, the "dane" security level
+is treated like a "mandatory" TLS security level, and weak ciphers
+and protocols are disabled. Since DANE authenticates server
+certificates the "aNULL" cipher\-suites are transparently excluded
+at this level, no need to configure this manually. RFC 7672 (DANE)
+TLS authentication is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdane\-only\fR"
+Mandatory DANE TLS. This is just like "dane" above, but DANE
+TLSA authentication is required. There is no fallback to "may" or
+"encrypt" when TLSA records are missing or unusable. RFC 7672
+(DANE) TLS authentication is available with Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBfingerprint\fR"
+Certificate fingerprint verification.
+At this security level, there are no trusted Certification Authorities.
+The certificate trust chain, expiration date, etc., are
+not checked. Instead, the \fBsmtp_tls_fingerprint_cert_match\fR
+parameter lists the certificate fingerprint or public key fingerprint
+(Postfix 2.9 and later) of the valid server certificate. The digest
+algorithm used to calculate the fingerprint is selected by the
+\fBsmtp_tls_fingerprint_digest\fR parameter. Available with Postfix
+2.5 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBverify\fR"
+Mandatory TLS verification. At this security
+level, DNS MX lookups are trusted to be secure enough, and the name
+verified in the server certificate is usually obtained indirectly
+via unauthenticated DNS MX lookups. The smtp_tls_verify_cert_match
+parameter controls how the server name is verified. In practice explicit
+control over matching is more common at the "secure" level, described
+below. This security level is not an appropriate default for systems
+delivering mail to the Internet.
+.br
+.IP "\fBsecure\fR"
+Secure\-channel TLS. At this security level,
+DNS MX lookups, though potentially used to determine the candidate
+next\-hop gateway IP addresses, are \fBnot\fR trusted to be secure enough
+for TLS peername verification. Instead, the default name verified in
+the server certificate is obtained from the next\-hop domain as specified
+in the smtp_tls_secure_cert_match configuration parameter. The default
+matching rule is that a server certificate matches when its name is equal
+to or is a sub\-domain of the nexthop domain. This security level is not
+an appropriate default for systems delivering mail to the Internet.

+Optional name to send to the remote SMTP server in the TLS Server

+DANE is used to authenticate the server, and in that case the SNI name
+sent is the one required by RFC7672 and this parameter is ignored.
+.PP
+Some SMTP servers use the received SNI name to select an appropriate
+certificate chain to present to the client. While this may improve
+interoperability with such servers, it may reduce interoperability with
+other servers that choose to abort the connection when they don't have a
+certificate chain configured for the requested name. Such servers
+should select a default certificate chain and continue the handshake,
+but some may not. Therefore, absent DANE, no SNI name is sent by
+default.
+.PP
+The SNI name must be either a valid DNS hostname, or else one of the
+special values \fBhostname\fR or \fBnexthop\fR, which select either the
+remote hostname or the nexthop domain respectively. DNS names for SNI must be

+TLS session cache. Specify a database type that supports enumeration,
+such as \fBbtree\fR or \fBsdbm\fR; there is no need to support
+concurrent access. The file is created if it does not exist. The \fBsmtp\fR(8)
+daemon does not use this parameter directly, rather the cache is
+implemented indirectly in the \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) daemon. This means that

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_trust_anchor_file (default: empty)
+Zero or more PEM\-format files with trust\-anchor certificates
+and/or public keys. If the parameter is not empty the root CAs in
+CAfile and CApath are no longer trusted. Rather, the Postfix SMTP
+client will only trust certificate\-chains signed by one of the
+trust\-anchors contained in the chosen files. The specified
+trust\-anchor certificates and public keys are not subject to
+expiration, and need not be (self\-signed) root CAs. They may, if
+desired, be intermediate certificates. Therefore, these certificates
+also may be found "in the middle" of the trust chain presented by
+the remote SMTP server, and any untrusted issuing parent certificates
+will be ignored. Specify a list of pathnames separated by comma
+or whitespace.
+.PP
+Whether specified in main.cf, or on a per\-destination basis,
+the trust\-anchor PEM file must be accessible to the Postfix SMTP
+client in the chroot jail if applicable. The trust\-anchor file
+should contain only certificates and public keys, no private key
+material, and must be readable by the non\-privileged $mail_owner
+user. This allows destinations to be bound to a set of specific
+CAs or public keys without trusting the same CAs for all destinations.
+.PP
+The main.cf parameter supports single\-purpose Postfix installations
+that send mail to a fixed set of SMTP peers. At most sites, if
+trust\-anchor files are used at all, they will be specified on a
+per\-destination basis via the "tafile" attribute of the "verify"
+and "secure" levels in smtp_tls_policy_maps.
+.PP
+The underlying mechanism is in support of RFC 7672 (DANE TLSA),
+which defines mechanisms for an SMTP client MTA to securely determine
+server TLS certificates via DNS.
+.PP
+If you want your trust anchors to be public keys, with OpenSSL
+you can extract a single PEM public key from a PEM X.509 file
+containing a single certificate, as follows:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+$ openssl x509 \-in cert.pem \-out ta\-key.pem \-noout \-pubkey
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.SH smtp_tls_verify_cert_match (default: hostname)
+How the Postfix SMTP client verifies the server certificate
+peername for the
+"verify" TLS security level. In a "verify" TLS policy table
+($smtp_tls_policy_maps) entry the optional "match" attribute
+overrides this main.cf setting.
+.PP
+This parameter specifies one or more patterns or strategies separated
+by commas, whitespace or colons. In the policy table the only valid
+separator is the colon character.
+.PP
+Patterns specify domain names, or domain name suffixes:
+.IP "\fIexample.com\fR"
+Match the \fIexample.com\fR domain,
+i.e. one of the names the server certificate must be \fIexample.com\fR,
+upper and lower case distinctions are ignored.
+.br
+.IP "\fI.example.com\fR"
+Match subdomains of the \fIexample.com\fR domain, i.e. match
+a name in the server certificate that consists of a non\-zero number of
+labels followed by a \fI.example.com\fR suffix. Case distinctions are
+ignored.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Strategies specify a transformation from the next\-hop domain
+to the expected name in the server certificate:
+.IP "nexthop"
+Match against the next\-hop domain, which is either the recipient
+domain, or the transport next\-hop configured for the domain stripped of
+any optional socket type prefix, enclosing square brackets and trailing
+port. When MX lookups are not suppressed, this is the original nexthop
+domain prior to the MX lookup, not the result of the MX lookup. For
+LMTP delivery via UNIX\-domain sockets, the verified next\-hop name is
+$myhostname. This strategy is suitable for use with the "secure"
+policy. Case is ignored.
+.br
+.IP "dot\-nexthop"
+As above, but match server certificate names that are subdomains
+of the next\-hop domain. Case is ignored.
+.br
+.IP "hostname"
+Match against the hostname of the server, often
+obtained via an unauthenticated DNS MX lookup. For LMTP delivery via
+UNIX\-domain sockets, the verified name is $myhostname. This matches
+the verification strategy of the "MUST" keyword in the obsolete
+smtp_tls_per_site table, and is suitable for use with the "verify"
+security level. When the next\-hop name is enclosed in square brackets
+to suppress MX lookups, the "hostname" strategy is the same as the
+"nexthop" strategy. Case is ignored.
+.br

+.SH smtp_tls_wrappermode (default: no)
+Request that the Postfix SMTP client connects using the
+legacy SMTPS protocol instead of using the STARTTLS command.

+Opportunistic mode: use TLS when a remote SMTP server announces
+STARTTLS support, otherwise send the mail in the clear. Beware:
+some SMTP servers offer STARTTLS even if it is not configured. With
+Postfix < 2.3, if the TLS handshake fails, and no other server is
+available, delivery is deferred and mail stays in the queue. If this

+below it), "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns. A "/file/name"
+pattern is replaced by its contents; a "type:table" lookup table
+is matched when a table entry matches a lookup string (the lookup
+result is ignored). Continue long lines by starting the next line
+with whitespace. Specify "!pattern" to exclude an address or network

+mapping does not match the client IP address.
+.br
+This is a

+a temporary problem.
+.br
+.IP "\fBreject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname\fR"
+Reject the request when the client IP address has no address\->name
+mapping.
+.br
+This is a weaker restriction than the
+reject_unknown_client_hostname feature, which requires not only
+that the address\->name and name\->address mappings exist, but
+also that the two mappings reproduce the client IP address.
+.br
+The unknown_client_reject_code parameter specifies the response
+code for rejected requests (default: 450). The reply is always 450
+in case the address\->name lookup failed due to a temporary
+problem.
+.br
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and

+In addition, you can use any of the following
+generic restrictions. These restrictions are applicable in
+any SMTP command context.
+.IP "\fBcheck_policy_service \fIservername\fR\fR"
+Query the specified policy server. See the SMTPD_POLICY_README
+document for details. This feature is available in Postfix 2.1
+and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdefer\fR"
+Defer the request. The client is told to try again later. This
+restriction is useful at the end of a restriction list, to make
+the default policy explicit.
+.br
+The defer_code parameter specifies
+the SMTP server reply code (default: 450).
+.br
+.IP "\fBdefer_if_permit\fR"
+Defer the request if some later restriction would result in an
+explicit or implicit PERMIT action. This is useful when a blacklisting
+feature fails due to a temporary problem. This feature is available
+in Postfix version 2.1 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBdefer_if_reject\fR"
+Defer the request if some later restriction would result in a
+REJECT action. This is useful when a whitelisting feature fails
+due to a temporary problem. This feature is available in Postfix
+version 2.1 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBpermit\fR"
+Permit the request. This restriction is useful at the end of
+a restriction list, to make the default policy explicit.
+.br
+.IP "\fBreject_multi_recipient_bounce\fR"
+Reject the request when the envelope sender is the null address,
+and the message has multiple envelope recipients. This usage has
+rare but legitimate applications: under certain conditions,
+multi\-recipient mail that was posted with the DSN option NOTIFY=NEVER
+may be forwarded with the null sender address.
+.br
+Note: this restriction can only work reliably
+when used in smtpd_data_restrictions or
+smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions, because the total number of
+recipients is not known at an earlier stage of the SMTP conversation.
+Use at the RCPT stage will only reject the second etc. recipient.
+.br
+The multi_recipient_bounce_reject_code parameter specifies the
+response code for rejected requests (default: 550). This feature
+is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBreject_plaintext_session\fR"
+Reject the request when the connection is not encrypted. This
+restriction should not be used before the client has had a chance
+to negotiate encryption with the AUTH or STARTTLS commands.
+.br
+The plaintext_reject_code parameter specifies the response
+code for rejected requests (default: 450). This feature is available
+in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.br
+.IP "\fBreject_unauth_pipelining\fR"
+Reject the request when the client sends SMTP commands ahead
+of time where it is not allowed, or when the client sends SMTP
+commands ahead of time without knowing that Postfix actually supports
+ESMTP command pipelining. This stops mail from bulk mail software
+that improperly uses ESMTP command pipelining in order to speed up
+deliveries.
+.br
+With Postfix 2.6 and later, the SMTP server sets a per\-session
+flag whenever it detects illegal pipelining, including pipelined
+HELO or EHLO commands. The reject_unauth_pipelining feature simply
+tests whether the flag was set at any point in time during the
+session.
+.br
+With older Postfix versions, reject_unauth_pipelining checks
+the current status of the input read queue, and its usage is not
+recommended in contexts other than smtpd_data_restrictions.
+.br
+.IP "\fBreject\fR"
+Reject the request. This restriction is useful at the end of
+a restriction list, to make the default policy explicit. The
+reject_code configuration parameter specifies the response code for
+rejected requests (default: 554).
+.br
+.IP "\fBsleep \fIseconds\fR\fR"
+Pause for the specified number of seconds and proceed with
+the next restriction in the list, if any. This may stop zombie
+mail when used as:
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+/etc/postfix/main.cf:

+ smtpd_delay_reject = no
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3.
+.br
+.IP "\fBwarn_if_reject\fR"
+A safety net for testing. When "warn_if_reject" is placed
+before a reject\-type restriction, access table query, or
+check_policy_service query, this logs a "reject_warning" message
+instead of rejecting a request (when a reject\-type restriction fails
+due to a temporary error, this logs a "reject_warning" message for
+any implicit "defer_if_permit" actions that would normally prevent
+mail from being accepted by some later access restriction). This
+feature has no effect on defer_if_reject restrictions.

+as soon as the Postfix SMTP server receives a valid MAIL FROM
+command.
+.PP
+With sites that reject lots of mail, the default setting reduces
+the use of

+evaluating $smtpd_client_restrictions and $smtpd_helo_restrictions.
+.PP
+This feature is turned on by default because some clients apparently
+mis\-behave when the Postfix SMTP server rejects commands before
+RCPT TO.
+.PP
+The default setting has one major benefit: it allows Postfix to log

+.SH smtpd_null_access_lookup_key (default: <>)
+The lookup key to be used in SMTP \fBaccess\fR(5) tables instead of the

+.SH smtpd_peername_lookup (default: yes)
+Attempt to look up the remote SMTP client hostname, and verify that
+the name matches the client IP address. A client name is set to

+time limits, from a
+time limit per read or write system call, to a time limit to send
+or receive a complete record (an SMTP command line, SMTP response
+line, SMTP message content line, or TLS protocol message). This

+Note: when per\-record deadlines are enabled, a short timeout
+may cause problems with TLS over very slow network connections.

+.SH smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header (default: no)
+Report the SASL authenticated user name in the \fBsmtpd\fR(8) Received

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks (default: empty)
+What remote SMTP clients the Postfix SMTP server will not offer
+AUTH support to.
+.PP
+Some clients (Netscape 4 at least) have a bug that causes them to
+require a login and password whenever AUTH is offered, whether it's
+necessary or not. To work around this, specify, for example,
+$mynetworks to prevent Postfix from offering AUTH to local clients.
+.PP
+Specify a list of network/netmask patterns, separated by commas
+and/or whitespace. The mask specifies the number of bits in the
+network part of a host address. You can also "/file/name" or
+"type:table" patterns. A "/file/name" pattern is replaced by its
+contents; a "type:table" lookup table is matched when a table entry
+matches a lookup string (the lookup result is ignored). Continue
+long lines by starting the next line with whitespace. Specify
+"!pattern" to exclude an address or network block from the list.
+The form "!/file/name" is supported only in Postfix version 2.4 and
+later.
+.PP
+Note: IP version 6 address information must be specified inside
+[] in the smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks value, and in
+files specified with "/file/name". IP version 6 addresses contain
+the ":" character, and would otherwise be confused with a "type:table"
+pattern.

+.SH smtpd_sasl_path (default: smtpd)
+Implementation\-specific information that the Postfix SMTP server
+passes through to
+the SASL plug\-in implementation that is selected with
+\fBsmtpd_sasl_type\fR. Typically this specifies the name of a
+configuration file or rendezvous point.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later. In earlier
+releases it was called \fBsmtpd_sasl_application_name\fR.
+.SH smtpd_sasl_response_limit (default: 12288)
+The maximum length of a SASL client's response to a server challenge.
+When the client's "initial response" is longer than the normal limit for
+SMTP commands, the client must omit its initial response, and wait for an
+empty server challenge; it can then send what would have been its "initial
+response" as a response to the empty server challenge. RFC4954 requires the
+server to accept client responses up to at least 12288 octets of
+base64\-encoded text. The default value is therefore also the minimum value
+accepted for this parameter.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.4 and later. Prior versions use
+"line_length_limit", which may need to be raised to accommodate larger client
+responses, as may be needed with GSSAPI authentication of Windows AD users
+who are members of many groups.
+.SH smtpd_sasl_security_options (default: noanonymous)
+Postfix SMTP server SASL security options; as of Postfix 2.3
+the list of available
+features depends on the SASL server implementation that is selected
+with \fBsmtpd_sasl_type\fR.
+.PP
+The following security features are defined for the \fBcyrus\fR
+server SASL implementation:

+Restrict what authentication mechanisms the Postfix SMTP server
+will offer to the client. The list of available authentication

+Disallow methods that use plaintext passwords.
+.br
+.IP "\fBnoactive\fR"
+Disallow methods subject to active (non\-dictionary) attack.
+.br
+.IP "\fBnodictionary\fR"
+Disallow methods subject to passive (dictionary) attack.
+.br
+.IP "\fBnoanonymous\fR"
+Disallow methods that allow anonymous authentication.

+.IP "\fBforward_secrecy\fR"
+Only allow methods that support forward secrecy (Dovecot only).
+.br
+.IP "\fBmutual_auth\fR"
+Only allow methods that provide mutual authentication (not available
+with Cyrus SASL version 1).
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP server accepts plaintext passwords but
+not anonymous logins.
+.PP
+Warning: it appears that clients try authentication methods in the
+order as advertised by the server (e.g., PLAIN ANONYMOUS CRAM\-MD5)
+which means that if you disable plaintext passwords, clients will
+log in anonymously, even when they should be able to use CRAM\-MD5.
+So, if you disable plaintext logins, disable anonymous logins too.
+Postfix treats anonymous login as no authentication.

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.

+Optional lookup table with the SASL login names that own the sender
+(MAIL FROM) addresses.

+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found. With lookups from
+indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked tables such as
+NIS, LDAP or SQL, the following search operations are done with a
+sender address of \fIuser@domain\fR:
+.IP "1) \fIuser@domain\fR"
+This table lookup is always done and has the highest precedence.
+.br
+.IP "2) \fIuser\fR"
+This table lookup is done only when the \fIdomain\fR part of the
+sender address matches $myorigin, $mydestination, $inet_interfaces
+or $proxy_interfaces.
+.br
+.IP "3) \fI@domain\fR"
+This table lookup is done last and has the lowest precedence.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+In all cases the result of table lookup must be either "not found"
+or a list of SASL login names separated by comma and/or whitespace.
+.SH smtpd_sender_restrictions (default: empty)
+Optional restrictions that the Postfix SMTP server applies in the
+context of a client MAIL FROM command.

+is 300s, but it changes under overload to just 10s. With Postfix
+2.5 and earlier, the SMTP server always uses a time limit of 300s
+by default.
+.PP
+Note: if you set SMTP time limits to very large values you may have
+to update the global ipc_timeout parameter.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH smtpd_tls_CAfile (default: empty)
+A file containing (PEM format) CA certificates of root CAs trusted
+to sign either remote SMTP client certificates or intermediate CA
+certificates. These are loaded into memory before the \fBsmtpd\fR(8) server
+enters the chroot jail. If the number of trusted roots is large, consider
+using smtpd_tls_CApath instead, but note that the latter directory must
+be present in the chroot jail if the \fBsmtpd\fR(8) server is chrooted. This
+file may also be used to augment the server certificate trust chain,
+but it is best to include all the required certificates directly in the
+server certificate file.
+.PP
+Specify "smtpd_tls_CAfile = /path/to/system_CA_file" to use ONLY
+the system\-supplied default Certification Authority certificates.
+.PP
+Specify "tls_append_default_CA = no" to prevent Postfix from
+appending the system\-supplied default CAs and trusting third\-party
+certificates.
+.PP
+By default (see smtpd_tls_ask_ccert), client certificates are not
+requested, and smtpd_tls_CAfile should remain empty. If you do make use
+of client certificates, the distinguished names (DNs) of the Certification
+Authorities listed in smtpd_tls_CAfile are sent to the remote SMTP client
+in the client certificate request message. MUAs with multiple client
+certificates may use the list of preferred Certification Authorities
+to select the correct client certificate. You may want to put your
+"preferred" CA or CAs in this file, and install other trusted CAs in
+$smtpd_tls_CApath.

+.SH smtpd_tls_CApath (default: empty)
+A directory containing (PEM format) CA certificates of root CAs
+trusted to sign either remote SMTP client certificates or intermediate CA
+certificates. Do not forget to create the necessary "hash" links with,
+for example, "$OPENSSL_HOME/bin/c_rehash /etc/postfix/certs". To use
+smtpd_tls_CApath in chroot mode, this directory (or a copy) must be

+.SH smtpd_tls_always_issue_session_ids (default: yes)
+Force the Postfix SMTP server to issue a TLS session id, even
+when TLS session caching is turned off (smtpd_tls_session_cache_database
+is empty). This behavior is compatible with Postfix < 2.3.
+.PP
+With Postfix 2.3 and later the Postfix SMTP server can disable
+session id generation when TLS session caching is turned off. This
+keeps remote SMTP clients from caching sessions that almost certainly cannot
+be re\-used.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP server always generates TLS session
+ids. This works around a known defect in mail client applications

+.SH smtpd_tls_ask_ccert (default: no)
+Ask a remote SMTP client for a client certificate. This
+information is needed for certificate based mail relaying with,
+for example, the permit_tls_clientcerts feature.
+.PP
+Some clients such as Netscape will either complain if no
+certificate is available (for the list of CAs in $smtpd_tls_CAfile)
+or will offer multiple client certificates to choose from. This
+may be annoying, so this option is "off" by default.

+connections.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_ccert_verifydepth (default: 9)
+The verification depth for remote SMTP client certificates. A
+depth of 1 is sufficient if the issuing CA is listed in a local CA
+file.
+.PP
+The default verification depth is 9 (the OpenSSL default) for
+compatibility with earlier Postfix behavior. Prior to Postfix 2.5,
+the default value was 5, but the limit was not actually enforced. If
+you have set this to a lower non\-default value, certificates with longer
+trust chains may now fail to verify. Certificate chains with 1 or 2
+CAs are common, deeper chains are more rare and any number between 5
+and 9 should suffice in practice. You can choose a lower number if,
+for example, you trust certificates directly signed by an issuing CA
+but not any CAs it delegates to.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_cert_file (default: empty)
+File with the Postfix SMTP server RSA certificate in PEM format.
+This file may also contain the Postfix SMTP server private RSA key.
+With Postfix >= 3.4 the preferred way to configure server keys and
+certificates is via the "smtpd_tls_chain_files" parameter.
+.PP
+Public Internet MX hosts without certificates signed by a "reputable"
+CA must generate, and be prepared to present to most clients, a
+self\-signed or private\-CA signed certificate. The client will not be
+able to authenticate the server, but unless it is running Postfix 2.3 or
+similar software, it will still insist on a server certificate.
+.PP
+For servers that are \fBnot\fR public Internet MX hosts, Postfix
+supports configurations with no certificates. This entails the use of
+just the anonymous TLS ciphers, which are not supported by typical SMTP
+clients. Since some clients may not fall back to plain text after a TLS
+handshake failure, a certificate\-less Postfix SMTP server will be unable
+to receive email from some TLS\-enabled clients. To avoid accidental
+configurations with no certificates, Postfix enables certificate\-less
+operation only when the administrator explicitly sets
+"smtpd_tls_cert_file = none". This ensures that new Postfix SMTP server
+configurations will not accidentally enable TLS without certificates.
+.PP
+Note that server certificates are not optional in TLS 1.3. To run
+without certificates you'd have to disable the TLS 1.3 protocol by
+including '!TLSv1.3' in "smtpd_tls_protocols" and perhaps also
+"smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols". It is simpler instead to just
+configure a certificate chain. Certificate\-less operation is not
+recommended.
+.PP
+Both RSA and DSA certificates are supported. When both types
+are present, the cipher used determines which certificate will be
+presented to the client. For Netscape and OpenSSL clients without
+special cipher choices the RSA certificate is preferred.
+.PP
+To enable a remote SMTP client to verify the Postfix SMTP server
+certificate, the issuing CA certificates must be made available to the
+client. You should include the required certificates in the server
+certificate file, the server certificate first, then the issuing
+CA(s) (bottom\-up order).
+.PP
+Example: the certificate for "server.example.com" was issued by
+"intermediate CA" which itself has a certificate of "root CA".
+Create the server.pem file with "cat server_cert.pem intermediate_CA.pem
+root_CA.pem > server.pem".
+.PP
+If you also want to verify client certificates issued by these
+CAs, you can add the CA certificates to the smtpd_tls_CAfile, in which
+case it is not necessary to have them in the smtpd_tls_cert_file,
+smtpd_tls_dcert_file (obsolete) or smtpd_tls_eccert_file.
+.PP
+A certificate supplied here must be usable as an SSL server certificate
+and hence pass the "openssl verify \-purpose sslserver ..." test.
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/server.pem
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_chain_files (default: empty)
+List of one or more PEM files, each holding one or more private keys
+directly followed by a corresponding certificate chain. The file names
+are separated by commas and/or whitespace. This parameter obsoletes the
+legacy algorithm\-specific key and certificate file settings. When this
+parameter is non\-empty, the legacy parameters are ignored, and a warning
+is logged if any are also non\-empty.
+.PP
+With the proliferation of multiple private key algorithms-which,
+as of OpenSSL 1.1.1, include DSA (obsolete), RSA, ECDSA, Ed25519
+and Ed448-it is increasingly impractical to use separate
+parameters to configure the key and certificate chain for each
+algorithm. Therefore, Postfix now supports storing multiple keys and
+corresponding certificate chains in a single file or in a set of files.
+.PP
+Each key must appear \fBimmediately before\fR the corresponding
+certificate, optionally followed by additional issuer certificates that
+complete the certificate chain for that key. When multiple files are
+specified, they are equivalent to a single file that is concatenated
+from those files in the given order. Thus, while a key must always
+precede its certificate and issuer chain, it can be in a separate file,
+so long as that file is listed immediately before the file that holds
+the corresponding certificate chain. Once all the files are
+concatenated, the sequence of PEM objects must be: \fIkey1, cert1,
+[chain1], key2, cert2, [chain2], ..., keyN, certN, [chainN].\fR
+.PP
+Storing the private key in the same file as the corresponding
+certificate is more reliable. With the key and certificate in separate
+files, there is a chance that during key rollover a Postfix process
+might load a private key and certificate from separate files that don't
+match. Various operational errors may even result in a persistent
+broken configuration in which the certificate does not match the private
+key.
+.PP
+The file or files must contain at most one key of each type. If,
+for example, two or more RSA keys and corresponding chains are listed,
+depending on the version of OpenSSL either only the last one will be
+used or an configuration error may be detected. Note that while
+"Ed25519" and "Ed448" are considered separate algorithms, the various
+ECDSA curves (typically one of prime256v1, secp384r1 or secp521r1) are
+considered as different parameters of a single "ECDSA" algorithm, so it
+is not presently possible to configure keys for more than one ECDSA
+curve.
+.PP
+RSA is still the most widely supported algorithm. Presently (late
+2018), ECDSA support is common, but not yet universal, and Ed25519 and
+Ed448 support is mostly absent. Therefore, an RSA key should generally
+be configured, along with any additional keys for the other algorithms
+when desired.

+.br
+.IP "\fBultra\fR"
+Use EECDH with approximately 192 bits of

+.SH smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers (default: empty)
+List of ciphers or cipher types to exclude from the SMTP server
+cipher list at all TLS security levels. Excluding valid ciphers
+can create interoperability problems. DO NOT exclude ciphers unless it
+is essential to do so. This is not an OpenSSL cipherlist; it is a simple
+list separated by whitespace and/or commas. The elements are a single
+cipher, or one or more "+" separated cipher properties, in which case

+key exchange with RSA authentication.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_fingerprint_digest (default: md5)
+The message digest algorithm to construct remote SMTP
+client\-certificate
+fingerprints or public key fingerprints (Postfix 2.9 and later)
+for \fBcheck_ccert_access\fR and \fBpermit_tls_clientcerts\fR. The
+default algorithm is \fBmd5\fR, for backwards compatibility with Postfix
+releases prior to 2.5.
+.PP
+Advances in hash
+function cryptanalysis have led to md5 being deprecated in favor of sha1.
+However, as long as there are no known "second pre\-image" attacks
+against md5, its use in this context can still be considered safe.
+.PP
+While additional digest algorithms are often available with OpenSSL's
+libcrypto, only those used by libssl in SSL cipher suites are available to
+Postfix.
+.PP
+To find the fingerprint of a specific certificate file, with a
+specific digest algorithm, run:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+$ openssl x509 \-noout \-fingerprint \-\fIdigest\fR \-in \fIcertfile\fR.pem
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+The text to the right of "=" sign is the desired fingerprint.
+For example:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+$ openssl x509 \-noout \-fingerprint \-sha1 \-in cert.pem
+SHA1 Fingerprint=D4:6A:AB:19:24:79:F8:32:BB:A6:CB:66:82:C0:8E:9B:EE:29:A8:1A
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+To extract the public key fingerprint from an X.509 certificate,
+you need to extract the public key from the certificate and compute
+the appropriate digest of its DER (ASN.1) encoding. With OpenSSL
+the "\-pubkey" option of the "x509" command extracts the public
+key always in "PEM" format. We pipe the result to another OpenSSL
+command that converts the key to DER and then to the "dgst" command
+to compute the fingerprint.
+.PP
+The actual command to transform the key to DER format depends
+on the version of OpenSSL used. With OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later, the
+"pkey" command supports all key types. With OpenSSL 0.9.8 and
+earlier, the key type is always RSA (nobody uses DSA, and EC
+keys are not fully supported by 0.9.8), so the "rsa" command is
+used.

+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers (default: medium)
+The minimum TLS cipher grade that the Postfix SMTP server will
+use with mandatory TLS encryption. The default grade ("medium") is
+sufficiently strong that any benefit from globally restricting TLS
+sessions to a more stringent grade is likely negligible, especially
+given the fact that many implementations still do not offer any stronger
+("high" grade) ciphers, while those that do, will always use "high"
+grade ciphers. So insisting on "high" grade ciphers is generally
+counter\-productive. Allowing "export" or "low" ciphers is typically
+not a good idea, as systems limited to just these are limited to
+obsolete browsers. No known SMTP clients fail to support at least
+one "medium" or "high" grade cipher.
+.PP
+The following cipher grades are supported:
+.IP "\fBexport\fR"
+Enable "EXPORT" grade or stronger OpenSSL ciphers. The
+underlying cipherlist is specified via the tls_export_cipherlist
+configuration parameter, which you are strongly encouraged to not
+change. This choice is insecure and SHOULD NOT be used.
+.br
+.IP "\fBlow\fR"
+Enable "LOW" grade or stronger OpenSSL ciphers. The underlying
+cipherlist is specified via the tls_low_cipherlist configuration
+parameter, which you are strongly encouraged to not change. This
+choice is insecure and SHOULD NOT be used.
+.br
+.IP "\fBmedium\fR"
+Enable "MEDIUM" grade or stronger OpenSSL ciphers. These use 128\-bit
+or longer symmetric bulk\-encryption keys. This is the default minimum
+strength for mandatory TLS encryption. The underlying cipherlist is
+specified via the tls_medium_cipherlist configuration parameter, which
+you are strongly encouraged to not change.
+.br
+.IP "\fBhigh\fR"
+Enable only "HIGH" grade OpenSSL ciphers. The
+underlying cipherlist is specified via the tls_high_cipherlist
+configuration parameter, which you are strongly encouraged to
+not change.
+.br
+.IP "\fBnull\fR"
+Enable only the "NULL" OpenSSL ciphers, these provide authentication
+without encryption. This setting is only appropriate in the rare
+case that all clients are prepared to use NULL ciphers (not normally
+enabled in TLS clients). The underlying cipherlist is specified via the
+tls_null_cipherlist configuration parameter, which you are strongly
+encouraged to not change.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Cipher types listed in
+smtpd_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers or smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers are
+excluded from the base definition of the selected cipher grade. See
+smtpd_tls_ciphers for cipher controls that apply to opportunistic
+TLS.
+.PP
+The underlying cipherlists for grades other than "null" include
+anonymous ciphers, but these are automatically filtered out if the
+server is configured to ask for remote SMTP client certificates. You are very
+unlikely to need to take any steps to exclude anonymous ciphers, they
+are excluded automatically as required. If you must exclude anonymous
+ciphers even when Postfix does not need or use peer certificates, set
+"smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers = aNULL". To exclude anonymous ciphers only
+when TLS is enforced, set "smtpd_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers = aNULL".
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_mandatory_exclude_ciphers (default: empty)
+Additional list of ciphers or cipher types to exclude from the
+Postfix SMTP server cipher list at mandatory TLS security levels.
+This list
+works in addition to the exclusions listed with smtpd_tls_exclude_ciphers
+(see there for syntax details).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols (default: !SSLv2, !SSLv3)
+The SSL/TLS protocols accepted by the Postfix SMTP server with
+mandatory TLS encryption. If the list is empty, the server supports
+all available SSL/TLS protocol versions. A non\-empty value is a
+list of protocol names separated by whitespace, commas or colons.
+The supported protocol names are "SSLv2", "SSLv3" and "TLSv1", and
+are not case sensitive. The default value is "!SSLv2, !SSLv3" for
+Postfix releases after the middle of 2015, "!SSLv2" for older
+releases.
+.PP
+With Postfix >= 2.5 the parameter syntax was expanded to support
+protocol exclusions. One can explicitly exclude "SSLv2" by setting
+"smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2". To exclude both "SSLv2" and
+"SSLv3" set "smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3". Listing
+the protocols to include, rather than protocols to exclude, is
+supported, but not recommended. The exclusion form more closely
+matches the underlying OpenSSL interface semantics.
+.PP
+Note: As of OpenSSL 1.0.1 two new protocols are defined, "TLSv1.1"
+and "TLSv1.2". When Postfix <= 2.5 is linked against OpenSSL 1.0.1
+or later, these, or any other new protocol versions, cannot be
+disabled. The latest patch levels of Postfix >= 2.6, and all
+versions of Postfix >= 2.10 can disable support for "TLSv1.1" or
+"TLSv1.2".

+OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduces support for "TLSv1.3". With Postfix
+>= 3.4 (or patch releases >= 3.0.14, 3.1.10, 3.2.7 and 3.3.2)
+this can be disabled, if need be, via "!TLSv1.3".

+protocol names are "SSLv2", "SSLv3" and "TLSv1", and are not case
+sensitive.
+.PP
+Note: As of OpenSSL 1.0.1 two new protocols are defined, "TLSv1.1"
+and "TLSv1.2". The latest patch levels of Postfix >= 2.6, and all
+versions of Postfix >= 2.10 can disable support for "TLSv1.1" or
+"TLSv1.2".
+.PP
+OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduces support for "TLSv1.3". With Postfix
+>= 3.4 (or patch releases >= 3.0.14, 3.1.10, 3.2.7 and 3.3.2)
+this can be disabled, if need be, via "!TLSv1.3".
+.PP
+To include a protocol list its name, to exclude it, prefix the name
+with a "!" character. To exclude SSLv2 for opportunistic TLS set
+"smtpd_tls_protocols = !SSLv2". To exclude both "SSLv2" and "SSLv3" set
+"smtpd_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3". Explicitly listing the protocols to
+include, rather than protocols to exclude, is supported, but not
+recommended. The exclusion form more closely matches the underlying
+OpenSSL interface semantics.
+.PP
+Example:
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+smtpd_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_received_header (default: no)
+Request that the Postfix SMTP server produces Received: message
+headers that include information about the protocol and cipher used,
+as well as the remote SMTP client CommonName and client certificate issuer
+CommonName. This is disabled by default, as the information may
+be modified in transit through other mail servers. Only information
+that was recorded by the final destination can be trusted.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_req_ccert (default: no)
+With mandatory TLS encryption, require a trusted remote SMTP client
+certificate in order to allow TLS connections to proceed. This
+option implies "smtpd_tls_ask_ccert = yes".
+.PP
+When TLS encryption is optional, this setting is ignored with
+a warning written to the mail log.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_security_level (default: empty)
+The SMTP TLS security level for the Postfix SMTP server; when
+a non\-empty value is specified, this overrides the obsolete parameters
+smtpd_use_tls and smtpd_enforce_tls. This parameter is ignored with
+"smtpd_tls_wrappermode = yes".
+.PP
+Specify one of the following security levels:
+.IP "\fBnone\fR"
+TLS will not be used.
+.br
+.IP "\fBmay\fR"
+Opportunistic TLS: announce STARTTLS support
+to remote SMTP clients, but do not require that clients use TLS encryption.
+.br
+.IP "\fBencrypt\fR"
+Mandatory TLS encryption: announce
+STARTTLS support to remote SMTP clients, and require that clients use TLS
+encryption. According to RFC 2487 this MUST NOT be applied in case
+of a publicly\-referenced SMTP server. Instead, this option should
+be used only on dedicated servers.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+Note 1: the "fingerprint", "verify" and "secure" levels are not
+supported here.
+The Postfix SMTP server logs a warning and uses "encrypt" instead.
+To verify remote SMTP client certificates, see TLS_README for a discussion
+of the smtpd_tls_ask_ccert, smtpd_tls_req_ccert, and permit_tls_clientcerts
+features.
+.PP
+Note 2: The parameter setting "smtpd_tls_security_level =
+encrypt" implies "smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes".
+.PP
+Note 3: when invoked via "sendmail \-bs", Postfix will never
+offer STARTTLS due to insufficient privileges to access the server
+private key. This is intended behavior.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_session_cache_database (default: empty)
+Name of the file containing the optional Postfix SMTP server
+TLS session cache. Specify a database type that supports enumeration,
+such as \fBbtree\fR or \fBsdbm\fR; there is no need to support
+concurrent access. The file is created if it does not exist. The \fBsmtpd\fR(8)
+daemon does not use this parameter directly, rather the cache is
+implemented indirectly in the \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) daemon. This means that
+per\-smtpd\-instance master.cf overrides of this parameter are not
+effective. Note, that each of the cache databases supported by \fBtlsmgr\fR(8)
+daemon: $smtpd_tls_session_cache_database, $smtp_tls_session_cache_database
+(and with Postfix 2.3 and later $lmtp_tls_session_cache_database), needs to be
+stored separately. It is not at this time possible to store multiple
+caches in a single database.
+.PP
+Note: \fBdbm\fR databases are not suitable. TLS
+session objects are too large.
+.PP
+As of version 2.5, Postfix no longer uses root privileges when
+opening this file. The file should now be stored under the Postfix\-owned
+data_directory. As a migration aid, an attempt to open the file
+under a non\-Postfix directory is redirected to the Postfix\-owned
+data_directory, and a warning is logged.
+.PP
+As of Postfix 2.11 the preferred mechanism for session resumption
+is RFC 5077 TLS session tickets, which don't require server\-side
+storage. Consequently, for Postfix >= 2.11 this parameter should
+generally be left empty. TLS session tickets require an OpenSSL
+library (at least version 0.9.8h) that provides full support for
+this TLS extension. See also smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout.
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:/var/lib/postfix/smtpd_scache
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout (default: 3600s)
+The expiration time of Postfix SMTP server TLS session cache
+information. A cache cleanup is performed periodically
+every $smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout seconds. As with
+$smtpd_tls_session_cache_database, this parameter is implemented in the
+\fBtlsmgr\fR(8) daemon and therefore per\-smtpd\-instance master.cf overrides
+are not possible.
+.PP
+As of Postfix 2.11 this setting cannot exceed 100 days. If set
+<= 0, session caching is disabled, not just via the database, but
+also via RFC 5077 TLS session tickets, which don't require server\-side
+storage. If set to a positive value less than 2 minutes, the minimum
+value of 2 minutes is used instead. TLS session tickets require
+an OpenSSL library (at least version 0.9.8h) that provides full
+support for this TLS extension.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later, and updated
+for TLS session ticket support in Postfix 2.11.
+.SH smtpd_tls_wrappermode (default: no)
+Run the Postfix SMTP server in the non\-standard "wrapper" mode,
+instead of using the STARTTLS command.
+.PP
+If you want to support this service, enable a special port in
+master.cf, and specify "\-o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes" on the SMTP
+server's command line. Port 465 (smtps) was once chosen for this
+purpose.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH smtpd_upstream_proxy_protocol (default: empty)
+The name of the proxy protocol used by an optional before\-smtpd
+proxy agent. When a proxy agent is used, this protocol conveys local
+and remote address and port information. Specify
+"smtpd_upstream_proxy_protocol = haproxy" to enable the haproxy
+protocol.
+.PP
+NOTE: To use the nginx proxy with \fBsmtpd\fR(8), enable the XCLIENT
+protocol with smtpd_authorized_xclient_hosts. This supports SASL
+authentication in the proxy agent (Postfix 2.9 and later).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.10 and later.
+.SH smtpd_upstream_proxy_timeout (default: 5s)
+The time limit for the proxy protocol specified with the
+smtpd_upstream_proxy_protocol parameter.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.10 and later.
+.SH smtpd_use_tls (default: no)
+Opportunistic TLS: announce STARTTLS support to remote SMTP clients,
+but do not require that clients use TLS encryption.
+.PP
+Note: when invoked via "\fBsendmail \-bs\fR", Postfix will never offer
+STARTTLS due to insufficient privileges to access the server private
+key. This is intended behavior.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later. With
+Postfix 2.3 and later use smtpd_tls_security_level instead.
+.SH smtputf8_autodetect_classes (default: sendmail, verify)
+Detect that a message requires SMTPUTF8 support for the specified
+mail origin classes. This is a workaround to avoid chicken\-and\-egg
+problems during the initial SMTPUTF8 roll\-out in environments with
+pre\-existing mail flows that contain UTF8. Those mail flows should
+not break because Postfix suddenly refuses to deliver such mail
+to down\-stream MTAs that don't announce SMTPUTF8 support.
+.PP
+The problem is that Postfix cannot rely solely on the sender's
+declaration that a message requires SMTPUTF8 support, because UTF8
+may be introduced during local processing (for example, the client
+hostname in Postfix's Received: header, adding @$myorigin or
+\&.$mydomain to an incomplete address, address rewriting, alias
+expansion, automatic BCC recipients, local forwarding, and changes
+made by header checks or Milter applications).
+.PP
+For now, the default is to enable "SMTPUTF8 required" autodetection
+only for Postfix sendmail command\-line submissions and address
+verification probes. This may change once SMTPUTF8 support achieves
+world domination. However, sites that add UTF8 content via local
+processing (see above) should autodetect the need for SMTPUTF8
+support for all email.
+.PP
+Specify one or more of the following:
+.IP "\fB sendmail \fR"
+Submission with the Postfix
+\fBsendmail\fR(1) command.
+.br
+.IP "\fB smtpd \fR"
+Mail received with the \fBsmtpd\fR(8)
+daemon.
+.br
+.IP "\fB qmqpd \fR"
+Mail received with the \fBqmqpd\fR(8)
+daemon.
+.br
+.IP "\fB forward \fR"
+Local forwarding or aliasing. When
+a message is received with "SMTPUTF8 required", then the forwarded
+(aliased) message always has "SMTPUTF8 required".
+.br
+.IP "\fB bounce \fR"
+Submission by the \fBbounce\fR(8) daemon.
+When a message is received with "SMTPUTF8 required", then the
+delivery status notification always has "SMTPUTF8 required".
+.br
+.IP "\fB notify \fR"
+Postmaster notification from the
+\fBsmtp\fR(8) or \fBsmtpd\fR(8) daemon.
+.br
+.IP "\fB verify \fR"
+Address verification probe from the
+\fBverify\fR(8) daemon.
+.br
+.IP "\fB all \fR"
+Enable SMTPUTF8 autodetection for all
+mail.
+.br
+.br
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH smtputf8_enable (default: yes)
+Enable preliminary SMTPUTF8 support for the protocols described
+in RFC 6531..6533. This requires that Postfix is built to support
+these protocols.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH soft_bounce (default: no)
+Safety net to keep mail queued that would otherwise be returned to
+the sender. This parameter disables locally\-generated bounces,
+changes the handling of negative responses from remote servers,
+content filters or plugins,
+and prevents the Postfix SMTP server from rejecting mail permanently
+by changing 5xx reply codes into 4xx. However, soft_bounce is no
+cure for address rewriting mistakes or mail routing mistakes.
+.PP
+Note: "soft_bounce = yes" is in some cases implemented by modifying
+server responses. Therefore, the response that Postfix logs may
+differ from the response that Postfix actually sends or receives.
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+soft_bounce = yes
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH stale_lock_time (default: 500s)
+The time after which a stale exclusive mailbox lockfile is removed.
+This is used for delivery to file or mailbox.
+.PP
+Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks).
+The default time unit is s (seconds).
+.SH stress (default: empty)
+This feature is documented in the STRESS_README document.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5 and later.
+.SH strict_7bit_headers (default: no)
+Reject mail with 8\-bit text in message headers. This blocks mail
+from poorly written applications.
+.PP
+This feature should not be enabled on a general purpose mail server,
+because it is likely to reject legitimate email.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH strict_8bitmime (default: no)
+Enable both strict_7bit_headers and strict_8bitmime_body.
+.PP
+This feature should not be enabled on a general purpose mail server,
+because it is likely to reject legitimate email.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH strict_8bitmime_body (default: no)
+Reject 8\-bit message body text without 8\-bit MIME content encoding
+information. This blocks mail from poorly written applications.
+.PP
+Unfortunately, this also rejects majordomo approval requests when
+the included request contains valid 8\-bit MIME mail, and it rejects
+bounces from mailers that do not MIME encapsulate 8\-bit content
+(for example, bounces from qmail or from old versions of Postfix).
+.PP
+This feature should not be enabled on a general purpose mail server,
+because it is likely to reject legitimate email.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH strict_mailbox_ownership (default: yes)
+Defer delivery when a mailbox file is not owned by its recipient.
+The default setting is not backwards compatible.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.5.3 and later.
+.SH strict_mime_encoding_domain (default: no)
+Reject mail with invalid Content\-Transfer\-Encoding: information
+for the message/* or multipart/* MIME content types. This blocks
+mail from poorly written software.
+.PP
+This feature should not be enabled on a general purpose mail server,
+because it will reject mail after a single violation.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH strict_rfc821_envelopes (default: no)
+Require that addresses received in SMTP MAIL FROM and RCPT TO
+commands are enclosed with <>, and that those addresses do
+not contain RFC 822 style comments or phrases. This stops mail
+from poorly written software.
+.PP
+By default, the Postfix SMTP server accepts RFC 822 syntax in MAIL
+FROM and RCPT TO addresses.
+.SH strict_smtputf8 (default: no)
+Enable stricter enforcement of the SMTPUTF8 protocol. The Postfix
+SMTP server accepts UTF8 sender or recipient addresses only when
+the client requests an SMTPUTF8 mail transaction.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH sun_mailtool_compatibility (default: no)
+Obsolete SUN mailtool compatibility feature. Instead, use
+"mailbox_delivery_lock = dotlock".
+.SH swap_bangpath (default: yes)
+Enable the rewriting of "site!user" into "user@site". This is
+necessary if your machine is connected to UUCP networks. It is
+enabled by default.
+.PP
+Note: with Postfix version 2.2, message header address rewriting
+happens only when one of the following conditions is true:
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received with the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from a network client that matches
+$local_header_rewrite_clients,
+.IP \(bu
+The message is received from the network, and the
+remote_header_rewrite_domain parameter specifies a non\-empty value.
+.br
+.PP
+To get the behavior before Postfix version 2.2, specify
+"local_header_rewrite_clients = static:all".

+.ft R
+.SH syslog_facility (default: mail)
+The syslog facility of Postfix logging. Specify a facility as
+defined in syslog.\fBconf\fR(5). The default facility is "mail".
+.PP
+Warning: a non\-default syslog_facility setting takes effect only
+after a Postfix process has completed initialization. Errors during
+process initialization will be logged with the default facility.
+Examples are errors while parsing the command line arguments, and
+errors while accessing the Postfix main.cf configuration file.
+.SH syslog_name (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+A prefix that is prepended to the process name in syslog
+records, so that, for example, "smtpd" becomes "prefix/smtpd".
+.PP
+Warning: a non\-default syslog_name setting takes effect only after
+a Postfix process has completed initialization. Errors during
+process initialization will be logged with the default name. Examples
+are errors while parsing the command line arguments, and errors
+while accessing the Postfix main.cf configuration file.
+.SH tcp_windowsize (default: 0)
+An optional workaround for routers that break TCP window scaling.
+Specify a value > 0 and < 65536 to enable this feature. With
+Postfix TCP servers (\fBsmtpd\fR(8), \fBqmqpd\fR(8)), this feature is implemented
+by the Postfix \fBmaster\fR(8) daemon.
+.PP
+To change this parameter without stopping Postfix, you need to
+first terminate all Postfix TCP servers:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+# postconf \-e master_service_disable=inet
+# postfix reload
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+This immediately terminates all processes that accept network
+connections. Next, you enable Postfix TCP servers with the updated
+tcp_windowsize setting:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+# postconf \-e tcp_windowsize=65535 master_service_disable=
+# postfix reload
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+If you skip these steps with a running Postfix system, then the
+tcp_windowsize change will work only for Postfix TCP clients (\fBsmtp\fR(8),
+\fBlmtp\fR(8)).
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later.
+.SH tls_append_default_CA (default: no)
+Append the system\-supplied default Certification Authority
+certificates to the ones specified with *_tls_CApath or *_tls_CAfile.
+The default is "no"; this prevents Postfix from trusting third\-party
+certificates and giving them relay permission with
+permit_tls_all_clientcerts.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.4.15, 2.5.11, 2.6.8,
+2.7.2 and later versions. Specify "tls_append_default_CA = yes" for
+backwards compatibility, to avoid breaking certificate verification
+with sites that don't use permit_tls_all_clientcerts.
+.SH tls_daemon_random_bytes (default: 32)
+The number of pseudo\-random bytes that an \fBsmtp\fR(8) or \fBsmtpd\fR(8)
+process requests from the \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) server in order to seed its
+internal pseudo random number generator (PRNG). The default of 32
+bytes (equivalent to 256 bits) is sufficient to generate a 128bit
+(or 168bit) session key.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_dane_digest_agility (default: on)
+Configure RFC7671 DANE TLSA digest algorithm agility.
+Do not change this setting from its default value.
+.PP
+See Section 8 of RFC7671 for correct key rotation procedures.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 through 3.1. Postfix
+3.2 and later ignore this configuration parameter and behave as
+though it were set to "on".
+.SH tls_dane_digests (default: sha512 sha256)
+DANE TLSA (RFC 6698, RFC 7671, RFC 7672) resource\-record "matching
+type" digest algorithms in descending preference order. All the
+specified algorithms must be supported by the underlying OpenSSL
+library, otherwise the Postfix SMTP client will not support DANE
+TLSA security.
+.PP
+Specify a list of digest names separated by commas and/or
+whitespace. Each digest name may be followed by an optional
+"=<number>" suffix. For example, "sha512" may instead be specified
+as "sha512=2" and "sha256" may instead be specified as "sha256=1".
+The optional number must match the <a
+href="https://www.iana.org/assignments/dane\-parameters/dane\-parameters.xhtml#matching\-types"
+>IANA assigned TLSA matching type number the algorithm in question.
+Postfix will check this constraint for the algorithms it knows about.
+Additional matching type algorithms registered with IANA can be added
+with explicit numbers provided they are supported by OpenSSL.
+.PP
+Invalid list elements are logged with a warning and disable DANE
+support. TLSA RRs that specify digests not included in the list are
+ignored with a warning.
+.PP
+Note: It is unwise to omit sha256 from the digest list. This
+digest algorithm is the only mandatory to implement digest algorithm
+in RFC 6698, and many servers are expected publish TLSA records
+with just sha256 digests. Unless one of the standard digests is
+seriously compromised and servers have had ample time to update their
+TLSA records you should not omit any standard digests, just arrange
+them in order from strongest to weakest.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.SH tls_dane_trust_anchor_digest_enable (default: yes)
+Enable support for RFC 6698 (DANE TLSA) DNS records that contain
+digests of trust\-anchors with certificate usage "2". Do not change
+this setting from its default value.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 through 3.1. It has
+been withdrawn in Postfix 3.2, as trust\-anchor TLSA records are now
+widely used and have proved sufficiently reliable. Postfix 3.2 and
+later ignore this configuration parameter and behaves as though it
+were set to "yes".
+.SH tls_disable_workarounds (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+List or bit\-mask of OpenSSL bug work\-arounds to disable.
+.PP
+The OpenSSL toolkit includes a set of work\-arounds for buggy SSL/TLS
+implementations. Applications, such as Postfix, that want to maximize
+interoperability ask the OpenSSL library to enable the full set of
+recommended work\-arounds.
+.PP
+From time to time, it is discovered that a work\-around creates a
+security issue, and should no longer be used. If upgrading OpenSSL
+to a fixed version is not an option or an upgrade is not available
+in a timely manner, or in closed environments where no buggy clients
+or servers exist, it may be appropriate to disable some or all of the
+OpenSSL interoperability work\-arounds. This parameter specifies which
+bug work\-arounds to disable.
+.PP
+If the value of the parameter is a hexadecimal long integer starting
+with "0x", the bug work\-arounds corresponding to the bits specified in
+its value are removed from the \fBSSL_OP_ALL\fR work\-around bit\-mask
+(see openssl/ssl.h and SSL_CTX_\fBset_options\fR(3)). You can specify more
+bits than are present in SSL_OP_ALL, excess bits are ignored. Specifying
+0xFFFFFFFF disables all bug\-workarounds on a 32\-bit system. This should
+also be sufficient on 64\-bit systems, until OpenSSL abandons support
+for 32\-bit systems and starts using the high 32 bits of a 64\-bit
+bug\-workaround mask.
+.PP
+Otherwise, the parameter is a white\-space or comma separated list
+of specific named bug work\-arounds chosen from the list below. It
+is possible that your OpenSSL version includes new bug work\-arounds
+added after your Postfix source code was last updated, in that case
+you can only disable one of these via the hexadecimal syntax above.

+.SH tls_eecdh_auto_curves (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The prioritized list of elliptic curves supported by the Postfix
+SMTP client and server. These curves are used by the Postfix SMTP
+server when "smtpd_tls_eecdh_grade = auto". The selected curves
+must be implemented by OpenSSL and be standardized for use in TLS
+(RFC 4492 or its imminent successor). It is unwise to list only
+"bleeding\-edge" curves supported by a small subset of clients. The
+default list is suitable for most users.
+.PP
+Postfix skips curve names that are unknown to OpenSSL, or that
+are known but not yet implemented. This makes it possible to
+"anticipate" support for curves that should be used once they become
+available. In particular, in some OpenSSL versions, the new RFC
+8031 curves "X25519" and "X448" may be known by name, but ECDH
+support for either or both may be missing. These curves may appear
+in the default value of this parameter, even though they'll only
+be usable with later versions of OpenSSL.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.2 and later, when it is
+compiled and linked with OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later on platforms where
+EC algorithms have not been disabled by the vendor.
+.SH tls_eecdh_strong_curve (default: prime256v1)
+The elliptic curve used by the Postfix SMTP server for sensibly
+strong
+ephemeral ECDH key exchange. This curve is used by the Postfix SMTP
+server when "smtpd_tls_eecdh_grade = strong". The phrase "sensibly
+strong" means approximately 128\-bit security based on best known
+attacks. The selected curve must be implemented by OpenSSL (as
+reported by \fBecparam\fR(1) with the "\-list_curves" option) and be one
+of the curves listed in Section 5.1.1 of RFC 4492. You should not
+generally change this setting. Remote SMTP client implementations
+must support this curve for EECDH key exchange to take place. It
+is unwise to choose an "bleeding\-edge" curve supported by only a

+.PP
+The default "strong" curve is rated in NSA Suite

+standards groups are assigning different names to the same underlying
+curves. The curve with the X9.62 name "prime256v1" is also known
+under the SECG name "secp256r1", but OpenSSL does not recognize the

+.SH tls_eecdh_ultra_curve (default: secp384r1)
+The elliptic curve used by the Postfix SMTP server for maximally
+strong
+ephemeral ECDH key exchange. This curve is used by the Postfix SMTP
+server when "smtpd_tls_eecdh_grade = ultra". The phrase "maximally
+strong" means approximately 192\-bit security based on best known attacks.
+This additional strength comes at a significant computational cost, most
+users should instead set "smtpd_tls_eecdh_grade = strong". The selected
+curve must be implemented by OpenSSL (as reported by \fBecparam\fR(1) with the

+.SH tls_export_cipherlist (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The OpenSSL cipherlist for "export" or higher grade ciphers. This
+defines the meaning of the "export" setting in smtpd_tls_ciphers,
+smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers, smtp_tls_ciphers, smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers,
+lmtp_tls_ciphers, and lmtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers. With Postfix

+for the opportunistic ("may") TLS client security level and also
+the default cipherlist for the SMTP server. You are strongly
+encouraged to not change this setting.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH tls_fast_shutdown_enable (default: yes)
+A workaround for implementations that hang Postfix while shuting
+down a TLS session, until Postfix times out. With this enabled,
+Postfix will not wait for the remote TLS peer to respond to a TLS
+'close' notification. This behavior is recommended for TLSv1.0 and
+later.
+.PP
+This feature was introduced with Postfix 3.4.6, 3.3.5, 3.2.10,
+and 3.1.13.
+.SH tls_high_cipherlist (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The OpenSSL cipherlist for "high" grade ciphers. This defines
+the meaning of the "high" setting in smtpd_tls_ciphers,
+smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers, smtp_tls_ciphers, smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers,
+lmtp_tls_ciphers, and lmtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers. You are strongly
+encouraged to not change this setting.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH tls_legacy_public_key_fingerprints (default: no)
+A temporary migration aid for sites that use certificate
+\fIpublic\-key\fR fingerprints with Postfix 2.9.0..2.9.5, which use
+an incorrect algorithm. This parameter has no effect on the certificate
+fingerprint support that is available since Postfix 2.2.
+.PP
+Specify "tls_legacy_public_key_fingerprints = yes" temporarily,
+pending a migration from configuration files with incorrect Postfix
+2.9.0..2.9.5 certificate public\-key finger prints, to the correct
+fingerprints used by Postfix 2.9.6 and later. To compute the correct
+certificate public\-key fingerprints, see TLS_README.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.9.6 and later.
+.SH tls_low_cipherlist (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The OpenSSL cipherlist for "low" or higher grade ciphers. This defines
+the meaning of the "low" setting in smtpd_tls_ciphers,
+smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers, smtp_tls_ciphers, smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers,
+lmtp_tls_ciphers, and lmtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers. You are strongly
+encouraged to not change this setting.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH tls_medium_cipherlist (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The OpenSSL cipherlist for "medium" or higher grade ciphers. This
+defines the meaning of the "medium" setting in smtpd_tls_ciphers,
+smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers, smtp_tls_ciphers, smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers,
+lmtp_tls_ciphers, and lmtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers. This is the
+default cipherlist for mandatory TLS encryption in the TLS client
+(with anonymous ciphers disabled when verifying server certificates).
+This is the default cipherlist for opportunistic TLS with Postfix
+releases after the middle of 2015. You are strongly encouraged to
+not change this setting.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH tls_null_cipherlist (default: eNULL:!aNULL)
+The OpenSSL cipherlist for "NULL" grade ciphers that provide
+authentication without encryption. This defines the meaning of the "null"
+setting in smtpd_mandatory_tls_ciphers, smtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers and
+lmtp_tls_mandatory_ciphers. You are strongly encouraged to not
+change this setting.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
+.SH tls_preempt_cipherlist (default: no)
+With SSLv3 and later, use the Postfix SMTP server's cipher
+preference order instead of the remote client's cipher preference
+order.
+.PP
+By default, the OpenSSL server selects the client's most preferred
+cipher that the server supports. With SSLv3 and later, the server may
+choose its own most preferred cipher that is supported (offered) by
+the client. Setting "tls_preempt_cipherlist = yes" enables server cipher
+preferences.
+.PP
+While server cipher selection may in some cases lead to a more secure
+or performant cipher choice, there is some risk of interoperability
+issues. In the past, some SSL clients have listed lower priority ciphers
+that they did not implement correctly. If the server chooses a cipher
+that the client prefers less, it may select a cipher whose client
+implementation is flawed. Most notably Windows 2003 Microsoft
+Exchange servers have flawed implementations of DES\-CBC3\-SHA, which
+OpenSSL considers stronger than RC4\-SHA. Enabling server cipher\-suite
+selection may create interoperability issues with Windows 2003
+Microsoft Exchange clients.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.8 and later, in combination
+with OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later.
+.SH tls_random_bytes (default: 32)
+The number of bytes that \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) reads from $tls_random_source
+when (re)seeding the in\-memory pseudo random number generator (PRNG)
+pool. The default of 32 bytes (256 bits) is good enough for 128bit
+symmetric keys. If using EGD or a device file, a maximum of 255
+bytes is read.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_random_exchange_name (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+Name of the pseudo random number generator (PRNG) state file
+that is maintained by \fBtlsmgr\fR(8). The file is created when it does
+not exist, and its length is fixed at 1024 bytes.
+.PP
+As of version 2.5, Postfix no longer uses root privileges when
+opening this file, and the default file location was changed from
+${config_directory}/prng_exch to ${data_directory}/prng_exch. As
+a migration aid, an attempt to open the file under a non\-Postfix
+directory is redirected to the Postfix\-owned data_directory, and a
+warning is logged.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_random_prng_update_period (default: 3600s)
+The time between attempts by \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) to save the state of
+the pseudo random number generator (PRNG) to the file specified
+with $tls_random_exchange_name.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_random_reseed_period (default: 3600s)
+The maximal time between attempts by \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) to re\-seed the
+in\-memory pseudo random number generator (PRNG) pool from external
+sources. The actual time between re\-seeding attempts is calculated
+using the PRNG, and is between 0 and the time specified.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_random_source (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+The external entropy source for the in\-memory \fBtlsmgr\fR(8) pseudo
+random number generator (PRNG) pool. Be sure to specify a non\-blocking
+source. If this source is not a regular file, the entropy source
+type must be prepended: egd:/path/to/egd_socket for a source with
+EGD compatible socket interface, or dev:/path/to/device for a
+device file.
+.PP
+Note: on OpenBSD systems specify /dev/arandom when /dev/urandom
+gives timeout errors.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.2 and later.
+.SH tls_server_sni_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables that map names received from remote SMTP
+clients via the TLS Server Name Indication (SNI) extension to the
+appropriate keys and certificate chains. This parameter is implemented
+in the Postfix TLS library, and applies to both \fBsmtpd\fR(8) and the SMTP
+server mode of \fBtlsproxy\fR(8).
+.PP
+The lookup key is either the verbatim SNI domain name or an
+ancestor domain prefixed with a leading dot. For internationalized
+domains, the lookup key must be in IDNA 2008 A\-label form (as
+required in the TLS SNI extension).
+.PP
+When this parameter is non\-empty, the Postfix SMTP server enables
+SNI extension processing, and logs SNI values that are invalid or
+don't match an entry in the the specified tables. When an entry
+does match, the SNI name is logged as part of the connection summary
+at log levels 1 and higher.
+.PP
+Note that the SNI lookup tables should also have entries for
+the domains that correspond to the Postfix SMTP server's default
+certificate(s). This ensures that the remote SMTP client's TLS SNI
+extension gets a positive response when it specifies one of the
+Postfix SMTP server's default domains, and ensures that the Postfix
+SMTP server will not log an SNI name mismatch for such a domain.
+The Postfix SMTP server's default certificates are then only used
+when the client sends no SNI or when it sends SNI with a domain
+that the server knows no certificate(s) for.
+.PP
+The mapping from an SNI domain name to a certificate chain is
+typically indirect. In the input source files for "cdb", "hash",
+"btree" or other tables that are converted to on\-disk indexed files
+via \fBpostmap\fR(1), the value specified for each key is a list of
+filenames. When \fBpostmap\fR(1) is used with the \fB\-F\fR option, the
+generated table stores for each lookup key the base64\-encoded
+contents of the associated files. When querying tables via \fBpostmap
+\-Fq\fR, the table value is decoded from base64, yielding the original
+file content, plus a new line.
+.PP
+With "regexp", "pcre", "inline", "texthash", "static" and similar
+tables that are interpreted at run\-time, and don't have a separate
+source format, the table value is again a list files, that are read\-in
+when the table is opened.
+.PP
+Thus, for example:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+$ postmap \-Fq "" static:/etc/postfix/chain.pem | openssl dgst \-sha1
+(stdin)= da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+produces the same output as:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+$ (cat /etc/postfix/chain.pem; echo) | openssl dgst \-sha1
+(stdin)= da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+With tables whose content is managed outside of Postfix, such
+as LDAP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, socketmap and tcp, the value must be a
+concatenation of the desired PEM keys and certificate chains, that
+is then further encoded to yield a single\-line base64 string.
+Creation of such tables and secure storage are outside the
+responsibility of Postfix. With "socketmap" and "tcp" the data
+would be transmitted in the clear. With LDAP and SQL, you should
+generally use TLS to protect the sensitive data in transit.
+.PP
+Typically there is only private key and its chain of certificates
+starting with the "leaf" certificate corresponding to that key, and
+continuing with the appropriate intermediate issuer CA certificates,
+with each certificate ideally followed by its issuer. Servers
+that have keys and certificates for more than one algorithm (e.g.
+both an RSA key and an ECDSA key, or even RSA, ECDSA and Ed25519)
+can use multiple chains concatenated together, with the key always
+listed before the corresponding certificates.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.4 and later.
+.SH tls_session_ticket_cipher (default: Postfix >= 3.0: aes\-256\-cbc, Postfix < 3.0: aes\-128\-cbc)
+Algorithm used to encrypt RFC5077 TLS session tickets. This
+algorithm must use CBC mode, have a 128\-bit block size, and must
+have a key length between 128 and 256 bits. The default is
+aes\-256\-cbc. Overriding the default to choose a different algorithm
+is discouraged.
+.PP
+Setting this parameter empty disables session ticket support
+in the Postfix SMTP server. Another way to disable session ticket
+support is via the tls_ssl_options parameter.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH tls_ssl_options (default: empty)
+List or bit\-mask of OpenSSL options to enable.
+.PP
+The OpenSSL toolkit provides a set of options that applications
+can enable to tune the OpenSSL behavior. Some of these work around
+bugs in other implementations and are on by default. You can use
+the tls_disable_workarounds parameter to selectively disable some
+or all of the bug work\-arounds, making OpenSSL more strict at the
+cost of non\-interoperability with SSL clients or servers that exhibit
+the bugs.
+.PP
+Other options are off by default, and typically enable or disable
+features rather than bug work\-arounds. These may be turned on (with
+care) via the tls_ssl_options parameter. The value is a white\-space
+or comma separated list of named options chosen from the list below.
+The names are not case\-sensitive, you can use lower\-case if you
+prefer. The upper case values below match the corresponding macro
+name in the ssl.h header file with the SSL_OP_ prefix removed. It
+is possible that your OpenSSL version includes new options added
+after your Postfix source code was last updated, in that case you
+can only enable one of these via the hexadecimal syntax below.
+.PP
+You should only enable features via the hexadecimal mask when
+the need to control the feature is critical (to deal with a new
+vulnerability or a serious interoperability problem). Postfix DOES
+NOT promise backwards compatible behavior with respect to the mask
+bits. A feature enabled via the mask in one release may be enabled
+by other means in a later release, and the mask bit will then be
+ignored. Therefore, use of the hexadecimal mask is only a temporary
+measure until a new Postfix or OpenSSL release provides a better
+solution.
+.PP
+If the value of the parameter is a hexadecimal long integer
+starting with "0x", the options corresponding to the bits specified
+in its value are enabled (see openssl/ssl.h and SSL_CTX_\fBset_options\fR(3)).
+You can only enable options not already controlled by other Postfix
+settings. For example, you cannot disable protocols or enable
+server cipher preference. Do not attempt to turn all features by
+specifying 0xFFFFFFFF, this is unlikely to be a good idea. Some
+bug work\-arounds are also valid here, allowing them to be re\-enabled
+if/when they're no longer enabled by default. The supported values
+include:
+.IP "\fBENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT\fR"
+Postfix >= 3.4. See
+SSL_CTX_\fBset_options\fR(3).
+.br
+.IP "\fBLEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT\fR"

+.br
+.IP "\fBNO_TICKET\fR"
+Enabled by default when needed in

+2.11, unless for some reason you do not want to support TLS session
+resumption. Best not set explicitly. See SSL_CTX_\fBset_options\fR(3).
+.br
+.IP "\fBNO_COMPRESSION\fR"
+Disable SSL compression even if
+supported by the OpenSSL library. Compression is CPU\-intensive,
+and compression before encryption does not always improve security.

+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.11 and later.
+.SH tls_wildcard_matches_multiple_labels (default: yes)
+Match multiple DNS labels with "*" in wildcard certificates.
+.PP
+Some mail service providers prepend the customer domain name
+to a base domain for which they have a wildcard TLS certificate.
+For example, the MX records for example.com hosted by example.net
+may be:
+.sp
+.in +4
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+example.com. IN MX 0 example.com.mx1.example.net.
+example.com. IN MX 0 example.com.mx2.example.net.
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.in -4
+.PP
+and the TLS certificate may be for "*.example.net". The "*"
+then corresponds with multiple labels in the mail server domain
+name. While multi\-label wildcards are not widely supported, and
+are not blessed by any standard, there is little to be gained by
+disallowing their use in this context.
+.PP
+Notes:
+.IP \(bu
+In a certificate name, the "*" is special only when it is
+used as the first label.
+.IP \(bu
+While Postfix (2.11 or later) can match "*" with multiple
+domain name labels, other implementations likely will not.

+The numerical Postfix SMTP server response code when a sender address
+probe fails due to a temporary error condition.
+.PP
+Unlike elsewhere in Postfix, you can specify 250 in order to
+accept the address anyway.
+.PP
+Do not change this unless you have a complete understanding of RFC 5321.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later.
+.SH unverified_sender_reject_code (default: 450)
+The numerical Postfix SMTP server response code when a recipient
+address is rejected by the reject_unverified_sender restriction.
+.PP
+Unlike elsewhere in Postfix, you can specify 250 in order to
+accept the address anyway.
+.PP
+Do not change this unless you have a complete understanding of RFC 5321.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH unverified_sender_reject_reason (default: empty)
+The Postfix SMTP server's reply when rejecting mail with
+reject_unverified_sender. Do not include the numeric SMTP reply
+code or the enhanced status code. By default, the response includes
+actual address verification details.
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+unverified_sender_reject_reason = Sender address lookup failed
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later.
+.SH unverified_sender_tempfail_action (default: $reject_tempfail_action)
+The Postfix SMTP server's action when reject_unverified_sender
+fails due to a temporary error condition. Specify "defer" to defer
+the remote SMTP client request immediately. With the default
+"defer_if_permit" action, the Postfix SMTP server continues to look
+for opportunities to reject mail, and defers the client request
+only if it would otherwise be accepted.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.6 and later.
+.SH verp_delimiter_filter (default: \-=+)
+The characters Postfix accepts as VERP delimiter characters on the
+Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command line and in SMTP commands.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 1.1 and later.
+.SH virtual_alias_address_length_limit (default: 1000)
+The maximal length of an email address after virtual alias expansion.
+This stops virtual aliasing loops that increase the address length
+exponentially.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH virtual_alias_domains (default: $virtual_alias_maps)
+Postfix is final destination for the specified list of virtual
+alias domains, that is, domains for which all addresses are aliased
+to addresses in other local or remote domains. The SMTP server
+validates recipient addresses with $virtual_alias_maps and rejects
+non\-existent recipients. See also the virtual alias domain class
+in the ADDRESS_CLASS_README file
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later. The default
+value is backwards compatible with Postfix version 1.1.
+.PP
+The default value is $virtual_alias_maps so that you can keep all
+information about virtual alias domains in one place. If you have
+many users, it is better to separate information that changes more
+frequently (virtual address \-> local or remote address mapping)
+from information that changes less frequently (the list of virtual
+domain names).
+.PP
+Specify a list of host or domain names, "/file/name" or
+"type:table" patterns, separated by commas and/or whitespace. A
+"/file/name" pattern is replaced by its contents; a "type:table"
+lookup table is matched when a table entry matches a lookup string
+(the lookup result is ignored). Continue long lines by starting
+the next line with whitespace. Specify "!pattern" to exclude a host
+or domain name from the list. The form "!/file/name" is supported
+only in Postfix version 2.4 and later.
+.PP
+See also the VIRTUAL_README and ADDRESS_CLASS_README documents
+for further information.

+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+virtual_alias_domains = virtual1.tld virtual2.tld

+.SH virtual_alias_expansion_limit (default: 1000)
+The maximal number of addresses that virtual alias expansion produces
+from each original recipient.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH virtual_alias_maps (default: $virtual_maps)
+Optional lookup tables that alias specific mail addresses or domains
+to other local or remote address. The table format and lookups
+are documented in \fBvirtual\fR(5). For an overview of Postfix address
+manipulations see the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later. The default
+value is backwards compatible with Postfix version 1.1.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+Note: these lookups are recursive.
+.PP
+If you use this feature with indexed files, run "\fBpostmap
+/etc/postfix/virtual\fR" after changing the file.

+virtual_alias_maps = dbm:/etc/postfix/virtual
+virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH virtual_alias_recursion_limit (default: 1000)
+The maximal nesting depth of virtual alias expansion. Currently
+the recursion limit is applied only to the left branch of the
+expansion graph, so the depth of the tree can in the worst case
+reach the sum of the expansion and recursion limits. This may
+change in the future.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.SH virtual_delivery_status_filter (default: $default_delivery_status_filter)
+Optional filter for the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent to change the
+delivery status code or explanatory text of successful or unsuccessful
+deliveries. See default_delivery_status_filter for details.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.0 and later.
+.SH virtual_destination_concurrency_limit (default: $default_destination_concurrency_limit)
+The maximal number of parallel deliveries to the same destination
+via the virtual message delivery transport. This limit is enforced
+by the queue manager. The message delivery transport name is the
+first field in the entry in the master.cf file.
+.SH virtual_destination_recipient_limit (default: $default_destination_recipient_limit)
+The maximal number of recipients per message for the virtual
+message delivery transport. This limit is enforced by the queue
+manager. The message delivery transport name is the first field in
+the entry in the master.cf file.
+.PP
+Setting this parameter to a value of 1 changes the meaning of
+virtual_destination_concurrency_limit from concurrency per domain
+into concurrency per recipient.
+.SH virtual_gid_maps (default: empty)
+Lookup tables with the per\-recipient group ID for \fBvirtual\fR(8) mailbox
+delivery.
+.PP
+This parameter is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.
+It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different mail
+delivery program.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+In a lookup table, specify a left\-hand side of "@domain.tld" to
+match any user in the specified domain that does not have a specific
+"user@domain.tld" entry.
+.PP
+When a recipient address has an optional address extension
+(user+foo@domain.tld), the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent looks up
+the full address first, and when the lookup fails, it looks up the
+unextended address (user@domain.tld).
+.PP
+Note 1: for security reasons, the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent disallows
+regular expression substitution of $1 etc. in regular expression
+lookup tables, because that would open a security hole.
+.PP
+Note 2: for security reasons, the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent will
+silently ignore requests to use the \fBproxymap\fR(8) server. Instead
+it will open the table directly. Before Postfix version 2.2, the
+\fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent will terminate with a fatal error.
+.SH virtual_mailbox_base (default: empty)
+A prefix that the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent prepends to all pathname
+results from $virtual_mailbox_maps table lookups. This is a safety
+measure to ensure that an out of control map doesn't litter the
+file system with mailboxes. While virtual_mailbox_base could be
+set to "/", this setting isn't recommended.
+.PP
+This parameter is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.
+It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different mail
+delivery program.
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.na
+.ft C
+virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail
+.fi
+.ad
+.ft R
+.SH virtual_mailbox_domains (default: $virtual_mailbox_maps)
+Postfix is final destination for the specified list of domains;
+mail is delivered via the $virtual_transport mail delivery transport.
+By default this is the Postfix \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent. The SMTP
+server validates recipient addresses with $virtual_mailbox_maps
+and rejects mail for non\-existent recipients. See also the virtual
+mailbox domain class in the ADDRESS_CLASS_README file.
+.PP
+This parameter expects the same syntax as the mydestination
+configuration parameter.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later. The default
+value is backwards compatible with Postfix version 1.1.
+.SH virtual_mailbox_limit (default: 51200000)
+The maximal size in bytes of an individual \fBvirtual\fR(8) mailbox or
+maildir file, or zero (no limit).
+.PP
+This parameter is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.
+It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different mail
+delivery program.
+.SH virtual_mailbox_lock (default: see "postconf \-d" output)
+How to lock a UNIX\-style \fBvirtual\fR(8) mailbox before attempting
+delivery. For a list of available file locking methods, use the
+"\fBpostconf \-l\fR" command.
+.PP
+This parameter is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.
+It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different mail
+delivery program.
+.PP
+This setting is ignored with \fBmaildir\fR style delivery, because
+such deliveries are safe without application\-level locks.
+.PP
+Note 1: the \fBdotlock\fR method requires that the recipient UID
+or GID has write access to the parent directory of the recipient's
+mailbox file.
+.PP
+Note 2: the default setting of this parameter is system dependent.
+.SH virtual_mailbox_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables with all valid addresses in the domains that
+match $virtual_mailbox_domains.
+.PP
+Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
+whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
+until a match is found.
+.PP
+In a lookup table, specify a left\-hand side of "@domain.tld" to
+match any user in the specified domain that does not have a specific
+"user@domain.tld" entry.
+.PP
+The remainder of this text is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery
+agent. It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different
+mail delivery program.
+.PP
+The \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent uses this table to look up the
+per\-recipient mailbox or maildir pathname. If the lookup result
+ends in a slash ("/"), maildir\-style delivery is carried out,
+otherwise the path is assumed to specify a UNIX\-style mailbox file.
+Note that $virtual_mailbox_base is unconditionally prepended to
+this path.
+.PP
+When a recipient address has an optional address extension

+\fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent will terminate with a fatal error.
+.SH virtual_maps (default: empty)
+Optional lookup tables with a) names of domains for which all
+addresses are aliased to addresses in other local or remote domains,
+and b) addresses that are aliased to addresses in other local or
+remote domains. Available before Postfix version 2.0. With Postfix
+version 2.0 and later, this is replaced by separate controls: virtual_alias_domains
+and virtual_alias_maps.
+.SH virtual_minimum_uid (default: 100)
+The minimum user ID value that the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent accepts
+as a result from $virtual_uid_maps table lookup. Returned
+values less than this will be rejected, and the message will be
+deferred.
+.PP
+This parameter is specific to the \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent.
+It does not apply when mail is delivered with a different mail
+delivery program.
+.SH virtual_transport (default: virtual)
+The default mail delivery transport and next\-hop destination for
+final delivery to domains listed with $virtual_mailbox_domains.
+This information can be overruled with the \fBtransport\fR(5) table.
+.PP
+Specify a string of the form \fItransport:nexthop\fR, where \fItransport\fR
+is the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf.
+The \fI:nexthop\fR destination is optional; its syntax is documented
+in the manual page of the corresponding delivery agent.
+.PP
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.

+Postfix multi\-instance API
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+Support for managing multiple Postfix instances is available
+as of version 2.6. Instances share executable files and
+documentation, but have their own directories for configuration,
+queue and data files.
+
+This document describes how the familiar "postfix start"
+etc. user interface can be used to manage one or multiple
+Postfix instances, and gives details of an API to coordinate
+activities between the postfix(1) command and a multi\-instance
+manager program.
+
+With multi\-instance support, the default Postfix instance
+is always required. This instance is identified by the
+config_directory parameter's default value.
+.SH "GENERAL OPERATION"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Multi\-instance support is backwards compatible: when you
+run only one Postfix instance, commands such as "postfix
+start" will not change behavior at all.
+
+Even with multiple Postfix instances, you can keep using
+the same postfix commands in boot scripts, upgrade procedures,
+and other places. The commands do more work, but humans are
+not forced to learn new tricks.
+
+For example, to start all Postfix instances, use:
+.IP
+# postfix start
+.PP
+Other postfix(1) commands also work as expected. For example,
+to find out what Postfix instances exist in a multi\-instance
+configuration, use:
+.IP
+# postfix status
+.PP
+This enumerates the status of all Postfix instances within
+a multi\-instance configuration.
+.SH "MANAGING AN INDIVIDUAL POSTFIX INSTANCE"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+To manage a specific Postfix instance, specify its configuration
+directory on the postfix(1) command line:
+.IP
+# postfix \-c \fI/path/to/config_directory command\fR
+.PP
+Alternatively, the postfix(1) command accepts the instance's
+configuration directory via the MAIL_CONFIG environment
+variable (the \-c command\-line option has higher precedence).
+
+Otherwise, the postfix(1) command will operate on all Postfix
+instances.
+.SH "ENABLING POSTFIX(1) MULTI-INSTANCE MODE"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+By default, the postfix(1) command operates in single\-instance
+mode. In this mode the command invokes the postfix\-script
+file directly (currently installed in the daemon directory).
+This file contains the commands that start or stop one
+Postfix instance, that upgrade the configuration of one
+Postfix instance, and so on.
+
+When the postfix(1) command operates in multi\-instance mode
+as discussed below, the command needs to execute start,
+stop, etc. commands for each Postfix instance. This
+multiplication of commands is handled by a multi\-instance
+manager program.
+
+Turning on postfix(1) multi\-instance mode goes as follows:
+in the default Postfix instance's main.cf file, 1) specify
+the pathname of a multi\-instance manager program with the
+multi_instance_wrapper parameter; 2) populate the
+multi_instance_directories parameter with the configuration
+directory pathnames of additional Postfix instances. For
+example:
+.IP
+.nf
+/etc/postfix/main.cf:
+ multi_instance_wrapper = $daemon_directory/postfix\-wrapper
+ multi_instance_directories = /etc/postfix\-test
+.fi
+.PP
+The $daemon_directory/postfix\-wrapper file implements a
+simple manager and contains instructions for creating Postfix
+instances by hand. The postmulti(1) command provides a
+more extensive implementation including support for life\-cycle
+management.
+
+The multi_instance_directories and other main.cf parameters
+are listed below in the CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS section.
+
+In multi\-instance mode, the postfix(1) command invokes the
+$multi_instance_wrapper command instead of the postfix\-script
+file. This multi\-instance manager in turn executes the
+postfix(1) command in single\-instance mode for each Postfix
+instance.
+
+To illustrate the main ideas behind multi\-instance operation,
+below is an example of a simple but useful multi\-instance
+manager implementation:
+.IP
+.nf
+#!/bin/sh
+
+: ${command_directory?"do not invoke this command directly"}
+
+POSTCONF=$command_directory/postconf
+POSTFIX=$command_directory/postfix
+instance_dirs=\`$POSTCONF \-h multi_instance_directories |
+ sed 's/,/ /'\` || exit 1
+
+err=0
+for dir in $config_directory $instance_dirs
+do
+ case "$1" in
+ stop|abort|flush|reload|drain)
+ test "\`$POSTCONF \-c $dir \-h multi_instance_enable\`" \e
+ = yes || continue;;
+ start)
+ test "\`$POSTCONF \-c $dir \-h multi_instance_enable\`" \e
+ = yes || {
+ $POSTFIX \-c $dir check || err=$?
+ continue
+ };;
+ esac
+ $POSTFIX \-c $dir "$@" || err=$?
+done
+
+exit $err
+.fi
+.SH "PER-INSTANCE MULTI-INSTANCE MANAGER CONTROLS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Each Postfix instance has its own main.cf file with parameters
+that control how the multi\-instance manager operates on
+that instance. This section discusses the most important
+settings.
+
+The setting "multi_instance_enable = yes" allows the
+multi\-instance manager to start (stop, etc.) the corresponding
+Postfix instance. For safety reasons, this setting is not
+the default.
+
+The default setting "multi_instance_enable = no" is useful
+for manual testing with "postfix \-c \fI/path/name\fR start"
+etc. The multi\-instance manager will not start such an
+instance, and it will skip commands such as "stop" or "flush"
+that require a running Postfix instance. The multi\-instance
+manager will execute commands such as "check", "set\-permissions"
+or "upgrade\-configuration", and it will replace "start" by
+"check" so that problems will be reported even when the
+instance is disabled.
+.SH "MAINTAINING SHARED AND NON-SHARED FILES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Some files are shared between Postfix instances, such as
+executables and manpages, and some files are per\-instance,
+such as configuration files, mail queue files, and data
+files. See the NON\-SHARED FILES section below for a list
+of per\-instance files.
+
+Before Postfix multi\-instance support was implemented, the
+executables, manpages, etc., have always been maintained
+as part of the default Postfix instance.
+
+With multi\-instance support, we simply continue to do this.
+Specifically, a Postfix instance will not check or update
+shared files when that instance's config_directory value is
+listed with the default main.cf file's multi_instance_directories
+parameter.
+
+The consequence of this approach is that the default Postfix
+instance should be checked and updated before any other
+instances.
+.SH "MULTI-INSTANCE API SUMMARY"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Only the multi\-instance manager implements support for the
+multi_instance_enable configuration parameter. The
+multi\-instance manager will start only Postfix instances
+whose main.cf file has "multi_instance_enable = yes". A
+setting of "no" allows a Postfix instance to be tested by
+hand.
+
+The postfix(1) command operates on only one Postfix instance
+when the \-c option is specified, or when MAIL_CONFIG is
+present in the process environment. This is necessary to
+terminate recursion.
+
+Otherwise, when the multi_instance_directories parameter
+value is non\-empty, the postfix(1) command executes the
+command specified with the multi_instance_wrapper parameter,
+instead of executing the commands in postfix\-script.
+
+The multi\-instance manager skips commands such as "stop"
+or "reload" that require a running Postfix instance, when
+an instance does not have "multi_instance_enable = yes".
+This avoids false error messages.
+
+The multi\-instance manager replaces a "start" command by
+"check" when a Postfix instance's main.cf file does not
+have "multi_instance_enable = yes". This substitution ensures
+that problems will be reported even when the instance is
+disabled.
+
+No Postfix command or script will update or check shared
+files when its config_directory value is listed in the
+default main.cf's multi_instance_directories parameter
+value. Therefore, the default instance should be checked
+and updated before any Postfix instances that depend on it.
+
+Set\-gid commands such as postdrop(1) and postqueue(1)
+effectively append the multi_instance_directories parameter
+value to the legacy alternate_config_directories parameter
+value. The commands use this information to determine whether
+a \-c option or MAIL_CONFIG environment setting specifies a
+legitimate value.
+
+The legacy alternate_config_directories parameter remains
+necessary for non\-default Postfix instances that are running
+different versions of Postfix, or that are not managed
+together with the default Postfix instance.
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP MAIL_CONFIG
+When present, this forces the postfix(1) command to operate
+only on the specified Postfix instance. This environment
+variable is exported by the postfix(1) \-c option, so that
+postfix(1) commands in descendant processes will work
+correctly.

+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
+rewriting, mail routing, or access control. These tables
+are usually in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+
+Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified in POSIX regular
+expression form. In this case, each input is compared against a
+list of patterns. When a match is found, the corresponding
+result is returned and the search is terminated.
+
+To find out what types of lookup tables your Postfix system
+supports use the "\fBpostconf \-m\fR" command.
+
+To test lookup tables, use the "\fBpostmap \-q\fR" command
+as described in the SYNOPSIS above. Use "\fBpostmap \-hmq
+\-\fR <\fIfile\fR" for header_checks(5) patterns, and
+"\fBpostmap \-bmq \-\fR <\fIfile\fR" for body_checks(5)
+(Postfix 2.6 and later).
+.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+With Postfix version 2.2 and earlier specify "\fBpostmap
+\-fq\fR" to query a table that contains case sensitive
+patterns. Patterns are case insensitive by default.
+.SH "TABLE FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The general form of a Postfix regular expression table is:
+.IP "\fB/\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags result\fR"
+When \fIpattern\fR matches the input string,
+use the corresponding \fIresult\fR value.
+.IP "\fB!/\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags result\fR"
+When \fIpattern\fR does \fBnot\fR match the input string,
+use the corresponding \fIresult\fR value.
+.IP "\fBif /\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags\fR"
+.IP "\fBendif\fR"
+If the input string matches /\fIpattern\fR/, then match that
+input string against the patterns between \fBif\fR and
+\fBendif\fR. The \fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR can nest.
+.sp
+Note: do not prepend whitespace to patterns inside
+\fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.IP "\fBif !/\fIpattern\fB/\fIflags\fR"
+.IP "\fBendif\fR"
+If the input string does not match /\fIpattern\fR/, then
+match that input string against the patterns between \fBif\fR
+and \fBendif\fR. The \fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR can nest.
+.sp
+Note: do not prepend whitespace to patterns inside
+\fBif\fR..\fBendif\fR.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
+.IP "blank lines and comments"
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as
+are lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP "multi\-line text"
+A logical line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.PP
+Each pattern is a POSIX regular expression enclosed by a pair of
+delimiters. The regular expression syntax is documented in
+\fBre_format\fR(7) with 4.4BSD, in \fBregex\fR(5) with Solaris, and in
+\fBregex\fR(7) with Linux. Other systems may use other document names.
+
+The expression delimiter can be any non\-alphanumerical
+character, except whitespace
+or characters that have special meaning (traditionally the forward
+slash is used). The regular expression can contain whitespace.
+
+By default, matching is case\-insensitive, and newlines are not
+treated as special characters. The behavior is controlled by flags,
+which are toggled by appending one or more of the following
+characters after the pattern:
+.IP "\fBi\fR (default: on)"
+Toggles the case sensitivity flag. By default, matching is case
+insensitive.
+.IP "\fBm\fR (default: off)"
+Toggle the multi\-line mode flag. When this flag is on, the \fB^\fR
+and \fB$\fR metacharacters match immediately after and immediately
+before a newline character, respectively, in addition to
+matching at the start and end of the input string.
+.IP "\fBx\fR (default: on)"
+Toggles the extended expression syntax flag. By default, support
+for extended expression syntax is enabled.
+.SH "TABLE SEARCH ORDER"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+pattern is found that matches the input string.
+
+Each pattern is applied to the entire input string.
+Depending on the application, that string is an entire client
+hostname, an entire client IP address, or an entire mail address.
+Thus, no parent domain or parent network search is done, and
+\fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not broken up into their
+\fIuser\fR and \fIdomain\fR constituent parts, nor is \fIuser+foo\fR
+broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+.SH "TEXT SUBSTITUTION"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Substitution of substrings (text that matches patterns
+inside "()") from the matched expression into the result
+string is requested with $1, $2, etc.; specify $$ to produce
+a $ character as output.
+The macros in the result string may need to be written as
+${n} or $(n) if they aren't followed by whitespace.
+
+Note: since negated patterns (those preceded by \fB!\fR) return a
+result when the expression does not match, substitutions are not
+available for negated patterns.
+.SH "EXAMPLE SMTPD ACCESS MAP"

+.SH NAME

+\-
+Postfix relocated table format
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.na
+.nf
+\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/relocated\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The optional \fBrelocated\fR(5) table provides the information that is
+used in "user has moved to \fInew_location\fR" bounce messages.
+
+Normally, the \fBrelocated\fR(5) table is specified as a text file
+that serves as input to the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command.
+The result, an indexed file in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format,
+is used for fast searching by the mail system. Execute the command
+"\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/relocated\fR" to rebuild an indexed
+file after changing the corresponding relocated table.
+
+When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP
+or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.
+
+Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular\-expression
+map where patterns are given as regular expressions, or lookups
+can be directed to TCP\-based server. In those case, the lookups
+are done in a slightly different way as described below under
+"REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES" or "TCP\-BASED TABLES".
+
+Table lookups are case insensitive.
+.SH "CASE FOLDING"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The search string is folded to lowercase before database
+lookup. As of Postfix 2.3, the search string is not case
+folded with database types such as regexp: or pcre: whose
+lookup fields can match both upper and lower case.
+.SH "TABLE FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The input format for the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command is as follows:
+.IP \(bu
+An entry has one of the following form:
+
+.nf
+ \fIpattern new_location\fR
+.fi
+
+Where \fInew_location\fR specifies contact information such as
+an email address, or perhaps a street address or telephone number.
+.IP \(bu
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as
+are lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP \(bu
+A logical line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.SH "TABLE SEARCH ORDER"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked
+tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, patterns are tried in the order as
+listed below:
+.IP \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR
+Matches \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR. This form has precedence over all
+other forms.
+.IP \fIuser\fR
+Matches \fIuser\fR@\fIsite\fR when \fIsite\fR is $\fBmyorigin\fR,
+when \fIsite\fR is listed in $\fBmydestination\fR, or when \fIsite\fR
+is listed in $\fBinet_interfaces\fR or $\fBproxy_interfaces\fR.
+.IP @\fIdomain\fR
+Matches other addresses in \fIdomain\fR. This form has the lowest
+precedence.
+.SH "ADDRESS EXTENSION"
+.na
+.nf
+.fi
+.ad
+When a mail address localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter
+(e.g., \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR), the lookup order becomes:
+\fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser+foo\fR,
+\fIuser\fR, and @\fIdomain\fR.
+.SH "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when the table
+is given in the form of regular expressions or when lookups are
+directed to a TCP\-based server. For a description of regular
+expression lookup table syntax, see \fBregexp_table\fR(5) or
+\fBpcre_table\fR(5). For a description of the TCP client/server
+table lookup protocol, see \fBtcp_table\fR(5).
+This feature is not available up to and including Postfix version 2.4.
+
+Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire
+address being looked up. Thus, \fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not
+broken up into their \fIuser\fR and \fI@domain\fR constituent parts,
+nor is \fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+
+Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+pattern is found that matches the search string.
+
+Results are the same as with indexed file lookups, with
+the additional feature that parenthesized substrings from the
+pattern can be interpolated as \fB$1\fR, \fB$2\fR and so on.
+.SH "TCP-BASED TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when lookups
+are directed to a TCP\-based server. For a description of the TCP
+client/server lookup protocol, see \fBtcp_table\fR(5).
+This feature is not available up to and including Postfix version 2.4.
+
+Each lookup operation uses the entire address once. Thus,
+\fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not broken up into their
+\fIuser\fR and \fI@domain\fR constituent parts, nor is
+\fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+
+Results are the same as with indexed file lookups.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
+rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
+\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
+
+Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as SQLite databases.
+In order to use SQLite lookups, define an SQLite source as a lookup
+table in main.cf, for example:
+.nf
+ alias_maps = sqlite:/etc/sqlite\-aliases.cf
+.fi
+
+The file /etc/postfix/sqlite\-aliases.cf has the same format as
+the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters
+described below.
+.SH "LIST MEMBERSHIP"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+When using SQL to store lists such as $mynetworks,
+$mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps,
+etc., it is important to understand that the table must
+store each list member as a separate key. The table lookup
+verifies the *existence* of the key. See "Postfix lists
+versus tables" in the DATABASE_README document for a
+discussion.
+
+Do NOT create tables that return the full list of domains
+in $mydestination or $relay_domains etc., or IP addresses
+in $mynetworks.
+
+DO create tables with each matching item as a key and with
+an arbitrary value. With SQL databases it is not uncommon to
+return the key itself or a constant value.
+.SH "SQLITE PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP "\fBdbpath\fR"
+The SQLite database file location. Example:
+.nf
+ dbpath = customer_database
+.fi
+.IP "\fBquery\fR"
+The SQL query template used to search the database, where \fB%s\fR
+is a substitute for the address Postfix is trying to resolve,
+e.g.
+.nf
+ query = SELECT replacement FROM aliases WHERE mailbox = '%s'
+.fi
+
+This parameter supports the following '%' expansions:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB%%\fR"
+This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
+.IP "\fB%s\fR"
+This is replaced by the input key.
+SQL quoting is used to make sure that the input key does not
+add unexpected metacharacters.
+.IP "\fB%u\fR"
+When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%u\fR
+is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the address.
+Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire search string.
+If the localpart is empty, the query is suppressed and returns
+no results.
+.IP "\fB%d\fR"
+When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%d\fR
+is replaced by the SQL quoted domain part of the address.
+Otherwise, the query is suppressed and returns no results.
+.IP "\fB%[SUD]\fR"
+The upper\-case equivalents of the above expansions behave in the
+\fBquery\fR parameter identically to their lower\-case counter\-parts.
+With the \fBresult_format\fR parameter (see below), they expand the
+input key rather than the result value.
+.IP "\fB%[1\-9]\fR"
+The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
+most significant component of the input key's domain. If the
+input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is \fBcom\fR,
+%2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR. If the input key is
+unqualified or does not have enough domain components to satisfy
+all the specified patterns, the query is suppressed and returns
+no results.
+.RE
+.IP
+The \fBdomain\fR parameter described below limits the input
+keys to addresses in matching domains. When the \fBdomain\fR
+parameter is non\-empty, SQL queries for unqualified addresses
+or addresses in non\-matching domains are suppressed
+and return no results.
+
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2. In prior releases
+the SQL query was built from the separate parameters:
+\fBselect_field\fR, \fBtable\fR, \fBwhere_field\fR and
+\fBadditional_conditions\fR. The mapping from the old parameters
+to the equivalent query is:
+
+.nf
+ SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
+ FROM [\fBtable\fR]
+ WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
+ [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
+.fi
+
+The '%s' in the \fBWHERE\fR clause expands to the escaped search string.
+With Postfix 2.2 these legacy parameters are used if the \fBquery\fR
+parameter is not specified.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the query parameter.
+.IP "\fBresult_format (default: \fB%s\fR)\fR"
+Format template applied to result attributes. Most commonly used
+to append (or prepend) text to the result. This parameter supports
+the following '%' expansions:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB%%\fR"
+This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
+.IP "\fB%s\fR"
+This is replaced by the value of the result attribute. When
+result is empty it is skipped.
+.IP "\fB%u\fR
+When the result attribute value is an address of the form
+user@domain, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the
+address. When the result has an empty localpart it is skipped.
+.IP "\fB%d\fR"
+When a result attribute value is an address of the form
+user@domain, \fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of
+the attribute value. When the result is unqualified it
+is skipped.
+.IP "\fB%[SUD1\-9]\fR"
+The upper\-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate
+the parts of the input key rather than the result. Their
+behavior is identical to that described with \fBquery\fR,
+and in fact because the input key is known in advance, queries
+whose key does not contain all the information specified in
+the result template are suppressed and return no results.
+.RE
+.IP
+For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
+to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
+table. After applying the result format, multiple values
+are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
+and parameter explained below allows one to restrict the number
+of values in the result, which is especially useful for maps that
+must return at most one value.
+
+The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each result value should
+be used as is.
+
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format!
+.IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
+This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or
+dictionaries. When specified, only fully qualified search
+keys with a *non\-empty* localpart and a matching domain
+are eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
+and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
+reduce the query load on the SQLite server.
+.nf
+ domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
+.fi
+
+It is best not to use SQL to store the domains eligible
+for SQL lookups.
+
+This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
+
+NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases,
+because the input keys are always unqualified.
+.IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
+A limit on the total number of result elements returned
+(as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map.
+A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
+temporary error if the limit is exceeded. Setting the
+limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple
+values.
+.SH "OBSOLETE MAIN.CF PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+For compatibility with other Postfix lookup tables, SQLite
+parameters can also be defined in main.cf. In order to do that,
+specify as SQLite source a name that doesn't begin with a slash
+or a dot. The SQLite parameters will then be accessible as the
+name you've given the source in its definition, an underscore,
+and the name of the parameter. For example, if the map is
+specified as "sqlite:\fIsqlitename\fR", the parameter "query"
+would be defined in main.cf as "\fIsqlitename\fR_query".
+.SH "OBSOLETE QUERY INTERFACE"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes an interface that is deprecated as
+of Postfix 2.2. It is replaced by the more general \fBquery\fR
+interface described above. If the \fBquery\fR parameter
+is defined, the legacy parameters described here ignored.
+Please migrate to the new interface as the legacy interface
+may be removed in a future release.
+

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
+rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
+\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format. Alternatively, table lookups
+can be directed to a TCP server.
+
+To find out what types of lookup tables your Postfix system
+supports use the "\fBpostconf \-m\fR" command.
+
+To test lookup tables, use the "\fBpostmap \-q\fR" command as
+described in the SYNOPSIS above.
+.SH "PROTOCOL DESCRIPTION"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The TCP map class implements a very simple protocol: the client
+sends a request, and the server sends one reply. Requests and
+replies are sent as one line of ASCII text, terminated by the
+ASCII newline character. Request and reply parameters (see below)
+are separated by whitespace.
+
+Send and receive operations must complete in 100 seconds.
+.SH "REQUEST FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The tcp_table protocol supports only the lookup request.
+The request has the following form:
+.IP "\fBget\fR SPACE \fIkey\fR NEWLINE"
+Look up data under the specified key.
+.PP
+Postfix will not generate partial search keys such as domain
+names without one or more subdomains, network addresses
+without one or more least\-significant octets, or email
+addresses without the localpart, address extension or domain
+portion. This behavior is also found with cidr:, pcre:, and
+regexp: tables.
+.SH "REPLY FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Each reply specifies a status code and text. Replies must be no
+longer than 4096 characters including the newline terminator.
+.IP "\fB500\fR SPACE \fItext\fR NEWLINE"
+In case of a lookup request, the requested data does not exist.
+The text describes the nature of the problem.
+.IP "\fB400\fR SPACE \fItext\fR NEWLINE"
+This indicates an error condition. The text describes the nature of
+the problem. The client should retry the request later.
+.IP "\fB200\fR SPACE \fItext\fR NEWLINE"
+The request was successful. In the case of a lookup request,
+the text contains an encoded version of the requested data.
+.SH "ENCODING"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+In request and reply parameters, the character %, each non\-printing
+character, and each whitespace character must be replaced by %XX,
+where XX is the corresponding ASCII hexadecimal character value. The
+hexadecimal codes can be specified in any case (upper, lower, mixed).
+
+The Postfix client always encodes a request.
+The server may omit the encoding as long as the reply
+is guaranteed to not contain the % or NEWLINE character.
+.SH "SECURITY"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Do not use TCP lookup tables for security critical purposes.
+The client\-server connection is not protected and the server
+is not authenticated.
+.SH BUGS
+.ad
+.fi
+Only the lookup method is currently implemented.
+
+The client does not hang up when the connection is idle for
+a long time.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The optional \fBtransport\fR(5) table specifies a mapping from email
+addresses to message delivery transports and next\-hop destinations.
+Message delivery transports such as \fBlocal\fR or \fBsmtp\fR
+are defined in the \fBmaster.cf\fR file, and next\-hop
+destinations are typically hosts or domain names. The
+table is searched by the \fBtrivial\-rewrite\fR(8) daemon.
+
+This mapping overrides the default \fItransport\fR:\fInexthop\fR
+selection that is built into Postfix:
+.IP "\fBlocal_transport (default: local:$myhostname)\fR"
+This is the default for final delivery to domains listed
+with \fBmydestination\fR, and for [\fIipaddress\fR]
+destinations that match \fB$inet_interfaces\fR or
+\fB$proxy_interfaces\fR. The default \fInexthop\fR destination
+is the MTA hostname.
+.IP "\fBvirtual_transport (default: virtual:)\fR"
+This is the default for final delivery to domains listed
+with \fBvirtual_mailbox_domains\fR. The default \fInexthop\fR
+destination is the recipient domain.
+.IP "\fBrelay_transport (default: relay:)\fR"
+This is the default for remote delivery to domains listed
+with \fBrelay_domains\fR. In order of decreasing precedence,
+the \fInexthop\fR destination is taken from \fBrelay_transport\fR,
+\fBsender_dependent_relayhost_maps\fR, \fBrelayhost\fR, or from the
+recipient domain.
+.IP "\fBdefault_transport (default: smtp:)\fR"
+This is the default for remote delivery to other destinations.
+In order of decreasing precedence, the \fInexthop\fR
+destination is taken from \fBsender_dependent_default_transport_maps,
+\fBdefault_transport\fR, \fBsender_dependent_relayhost_maps\fR,
+\fBrelayhost\fR, or from the recipient domain.
+.PP
+Normally, the \fBtransport\fR(5) table is specified as a text file
+that serves as input to the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command.
+The result, an indexed file in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format, is used
+for fast searching by the mail system. Execute the command
+"\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/transport\fR" to rebuild an indexed
+file after changing the corresponding transport table.
+
+When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP
+or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.
+
+Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular\-expression
+map where patterns are given as regular expressions, or lookups
+can be directed to TCP\-based server. In those case, the lookups
+are done in a slightly different way as described below under
+"REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES" or "TCP\-BASED TABLES".
+.SH "CASE FOLDING"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The search string is folded to lowercase before database
+lookup. As of Postfix 2.3, the search string is not case
+folded with database types such as regexp: or pcre: whose
+lookup fields can match both upper and lower case.
+.SH "TABLE FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The input format for the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command is as follows:
+.IP "\fIpattern result\fR"
+When \fIpattern\fR matches the recipient address or domain, use the
+corresponding \fIresult\fR.
+.IP "blank lines and comments"
+Empty lines and whitespace\-only lines are ignored, as
+are lines whose first non\-whitespace character is a `#'.
+.IP "multi\-line text"
+A logical line starts with non\-whitespace text. A line that
+starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+.PP
+The \fIpattern\fR specifies an email address, a domain name, or
+a domain name hierarchy, as described in section "TABLE LOOKUP".
+
+The \fIresult\fR is of the form \fItransport:nexthop\fR and
+specifies how or where to deliver mail. This is described in
+section "RESULT FORMAT".
+.SH "TABLE SEARCH ORDER"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked
+tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, patterns are tried in the order as
+listed below:
+.IP "\fIuser+extension@domain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
+Deliver mail for \fIuser+extension@domain\fR through
+\fItransport\fR to
+\fInexthop\fR.
+.IP "\fIuser@domain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
+Deliver mail for \fIuser@domain\fR through \fItransport\fR to
+\fInexthop\fR.
+.IP "\fIdomain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
+Deliver mail for \fIdomain\fR through \fItransport\fR to
+\fInexthop\fR.
+.IP "\fI.domain transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
+Deliver mail for any subdomain of \fIdomain\fR through
+\fItransport\fR to \fInexthop\fR. This applies only when the
+string \fBtransport_maps\fR is not listed in the
+\fBparent_domain_matches_subdomains\fR configuration setting.
+Otherwise, a domain name matches itself and its subdomains.
+.IP "\fB*\fI transport\fR:\fInexthop\fR"
+The special pattern \fB*\fR represents any address (i.e. it
+functions as the wild\-card pattern, and is unique to Postfix
+transport tables).
+.PP
+Note 1: the null recipient address is looked up as
+\fB$empty_address_recipient\fR@\fB$myhostname\fR (default:
+mailer\-daemon@hostname).
+
+Note 2: \fIuser@domain\fR or \fIuser+extension@domain\fR
+lookup is available in Postfix 2.0 and later.
+.SH "RESULT FORMAT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The lookup result is of the form \fItransport\fB:\fInexthop\fR.
+The \fItransport\fR field specifies a mail delivery transport
+such as \fBsmtp\fR or \fBlocal\fR. The \fInexthop\fR field
+specifies where and how to deliver mail.
+
+The transport field specifies the name of a mail delivery transport
+(the first name of a mail delivery service entry in the Postfix
+\fBmaster.cf\fR file).
+
+The interpretation of the nexthop field is transport
+dependent. In the case of SMTP, specify a service on a non\-default
+port as \fIhost\fR:\fIservice\fR, and disable MX (mail exchanger)
+DNS lookups with [\fIhost\fR] or [\fIhost\fR]:\fIport\fR. The [] form
+is required when you specify an IP address instead of a hostname.
+
+A null \fItransport\fR and null \fInexthop\fR result means "do
+not change": use the delivery transport and nexthop information
+that would be used when the entire transport table did not exist.
+
+A non\-null \fItransport\fR field with a null \fInexthop\fR field
+resets the nexthop information to the recipient domain.
+
+A null \fItransport\fR field with non\-null \fInexthop\fR field
+does not modify the transport information.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+In order to deliver internal mail directly, while using a
+mail relay for all other mail, specify a null entry for
+internal destinations (do not change the delivery transport or
+the nexthop information) and specify a wildcard for all other
+destinations.
+
+.nf
+ \fB\&my.domain :\fR
+ \fB\&.my.domain :\fR
+ \fB* smtp:outbound\-relay.my.domain\fR
+.fi
+
+In order to send mail for \fBexample.com\fR and its subdomains
+via the \fBuucp\fR transport to the UUCP host named \fBexample\fR:
+
+.nf
+ \fBexample.com uucp:example\fR
+ \fB\&.example.com uucp:example\fR
+.fi
+
+When no nexthop host name is specified, the destination domain
+name is used instead. For example, the following directs mail for
+\fIuser\fR@\fBexample.com\fR via the \fBslow\fR transport to a mail
+exchanger for \fBexample.com\fR. The \fBslow\fR transport could be
+configured to run at most one delivery process at a time:
+
+.nf
+ \fBexample.com slow:\fR
+.fi
+
+When no transport is specified, Postfix uses the transport that
+matches the address domain class (see DESCRIPTION
+above). The following sends all mail for \fBexample.com\fR and its
+subdomains to host \fBgateway.example.com\fR:
+
+.nf
+ \fBexample.com :[gateway.example.com]\fR
+ \fB\&.example.com :[gateway.example.com]\fR
+.fi
+
+In the above example, the [] suppress MX lookups.
+This prevents mail routing loops when your machine is primary MX
+host for \fBexample.com\fR.
+
+In the case of delivery via SMTP, one may specify
+\fIhostname\fR:\fIservice\fR instead of just a host:
+
+.nf
+ \fBexample.com smtp:bar.example:2025\fR
+.fi
+
+This directs mail for \fIuser\fR@\fBexample.com\fR to host \fBbar.example\fR
+port \fB2025\fR. Instead of a numerical port a symbolic name may be
+used. Specify [] around the hostname if MX lookups must be disabled.
+
+The error mailer can be used to bounce mail:
+
+.nf
+ \fB\&.example.com error:mail for *.example.com is not deliverable\fR
+.fi
+
+This causes all mail for \fIuser\fR@\fIanything\fB.example.com\fR
+to be bounced.
+.SH "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when the table
+is given in the form of regular expressions. For a description of
+regular expression lookup table syntax, see \fBregexp_table\fR(5)
+or \fBpcre_table\fR(5).
+
+Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire
+address being looked up. Thus, \fIsome.domain.hierarchy\fR is not
+looked up via its parent domains,
+nor is \fIuser+foo@domain\fR looked up as \fIuser@domain\fR.
+
+Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+pattern is found that matches the search string.
+
+The \fBtrivial\-rewrite\fR(8) server disallows regular
+expression substitution of $1 etc. in regular expression
+lookup tables, because that could open a security hole
+(Postfix version 2.3 and later).
+.SH "TCP-BASED TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when lookups
+are directed to a TCP\-based server. For a description of the TCP
+client/server lookup protocol, see \fBtcp_table\fR(5).
+This feature is not available up to and including Postfix version 2.4.
+
+Each lookup operation uses the entire recipient address once. Thus,
+\fIsome.domain.hierarchy\fR is not looked up via its parent domains,
+nor is \fIuser+foo@domain\fR looked up as \fIuser@domain\fR.
+
+Results are the same as with indexed file lookups.

+.fi
+The optional \fBvirtual\fR(5) alias table rewrites recipient
+addresses for all local, all virtual, and all remote mail
+destinations.
+This is unlike the \fBaliases\fR(5) table which is used
+only for \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery. Virtual aliasing is
+recursive, and is implemented by the Postfix \fBcleanup\fR(8)
+daemon before mail is queued.
+
+The main applications of virtual aliasing are:
+.IP \(bu
+To redirect mail for one address to one or more addresses.
+.IP \(bu
+To implement virtual alias domains where all addresses are aliased
+to addresses in other domains.
+.sp
+Virtual alias domains are not to be confused with the virtual mailbox
+domains that are implemented with the Postfix \fBvirtual\fR(8) mail
+delivery agent. With virtual mailbox domains, each recipient address
+can have its own mailbox.
+.PP
+Virtual aliasing is applied only to recipient
+envelope addresses, and does not affect message headers.
+Use \fBcanonical\fR(5)
+mapping to rewrite header and envelope addresses in general.
+
+Normally, the \fBvirtual\fR(5) alias table is specified as a text file
+that serves as input to the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command.

+.SH "TABLE SEARCH ORDER"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked
+tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, each \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR
+query produces a sequence of query patterns as described below.
+
+Each query pattern is sent to each specified lookup table
+before trying the next query pattern, until a match is
+found.
+.IP "\fIuser\fR@\fIdomain address, address, ...\fR"
+Redirect mail for \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR to \fIaddress\fR.
+This form has the highest precedence.
+.IP "\fIuser address, address, ...\fR"
+Redirect mail for \fIuser\fR@\fIsite\fR to \fIaddress\fR when
+\fIsite\fR is equal to $\fBmyorigin\fR, when \fIsite\fR is listed in
+$\fBmydestination\fR, or when it is listed in $\fBinet_interfaces\fR
+or $\fBproxy_interfaces\fR.
+.sp
+This functionality overlaps with functionality of the local
+\fIaliases\fR(5) database. The difference is that \fBvirtual\fR(5)
+mapping can be applied to non\-local addresses.
+.IP "@\fIdomain address, address, ...\fR"
+Redirect mail for other users in \fIdomain\fR to \fIaddress\fR.
+This form has the lowest precedence.
+.sp
+Note: @\fIdomain\fR is a wild\-card. With this form, the
+Postfix SMTP server accepts
+mail for any recipient in \fIdomain\fR, regardless of whether
+that recipient exists. This may turn your mail system into
+a backscatter source: Postfix first accepts mail for
+non\-existent recipients and then tries to return that mail
+as "undeliverable" to the often forged sender address.
+.sp
+To avoid backscatter with mail for a wild\-card domain,
+replace the wild\-card mapping with explicit 1:1 mappings,
+or add a reject_unverified_recipient restriction for that
+domain:
+
+.nf
+ smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
+ ...
+ reject_unauth_destination
+ check_recipient_access
+ inline:{example.com=reject_unverified_recipient}
+ unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550

+
+In the above example, Postfix may contact a remote server
+if the recipient is aliased to a remote address.

+The lookup result is subject to address rewriting:
+.IP \(bu
+When the result has the form @\fIotherdomain\fR, the

+This works only for the first address in a multi\-address
+lookup result.
+.IP \(bu
+When "\fBappend_at_myorigin=yes\fR", append "\fB@$myorigin\fR"

+.SH "ADDRESS EXTENSION"
+.na
+.nf

+(e.g., \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR), the lookup order becomes:
+\fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser+foo\fR,
+\fIuser\fR, and @\fIdomain\fR.
+
+The \fBpropagate_unmatched_extensions\fR parameter controls whether
+an unmatched address extension (\fI+foo\fR) is propagated to the
+result of table lookup.
+.SH "VIRTUAL ALIAS DOMAINS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Besides virtual aliases, the virtual alias table can also be used
+to implement virtual alias domains. With a virtual alias domain, all
+recipient addresses are aliased to addresses in other domains.
+
+Virtual alias domains are not to be confused with the virtual mailbox
+domains that are implemented with the Postfix \fBvirtual\fR(8) mail
+delivery agent. With virtual mailbox domains, each recipient address
+can have its own mailbox.
+
+With a virtual alias domain, the virtual domain has its
+own user name space. Local (i.e. non\-virtual) usernames are not
+visible in a virtual alias domain. In particular, local
+\fBaliases\fR(5) and local mailing lists are not visible as
+\fIlocalname@virtual\-alias.domain\fR.
+
+Support for a virtual alias domain looks like:
+
+.nf
+/etc/postfix/main.cf:
+ virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
+.fi
+
+Note: some systems use \fBdbm\fR databases instead of \fBhash\fR.

+The \fIvirtual\-alias.domain anything\fR entry is required for a
+virtual alias domain. \fBWithout this entry, mail is rejected
+with "relay access denied", or bounces with
+"mail loops back to myself".\fR
+
+Do not specify virtual alias domain names in the \fBmain.cf
+mydestination\fR or \fBrelay_domains\fR configuration parameters.
+
+With a virtual alias domain, the Postfix SMTP server
+accepts mail for \fIknown\-user@virtual\-alias.domain\fR, and rejects
+mail for \fIunknown\-user\fR@\fIvirtual\-alias.domain\fR as undeliverable.
+
+Instead of specifying the virtual alias domain name via
+the \fBvirtual_alias_maps\fR table, you may also specify it via
+the \fBmain.cf virtual_alias_domains\fR configuration parameter.
+This latter parameter uses the same syntax as the \fBmain.cf
+mydestination\fR configuration parameter.
+.SH "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when the table
+is given in the form of regular expressions. For a description of
+regular expression lookup table syntax, see \fBregexp_table\fR(5)
+or \fBpcre_table\fR(5).
+
+Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire
+address being looked up. Thus, \fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not
+broken up into their \fIuser\fR and \fI@domain\fR constituent parts,
+nor is \fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+
+Patterns are applied in the order as specified in the table, until a
+pattern is found that matches the search string.
+
+Results are the same as with indexed file lookups, with
+the additional feature that parenthesized substrings from the
+pattern can be interpolated as \fB$1\fR, \fB$2\fR and so on.
+.SH "TCP-BASED TABLES"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+This section describes how the table lookups change when lookups
+are directed to a TCP\-based server. For a description of the TCP
+client/server lookup protocol, see \fBtcp_table\fR(5).
+This feature is not available up to and including Postfix version 2.4.
+
+Each lookup operation uses the entire address once. Thus,
+\fIuser@domain\fR mail addresses are not broken up into their
+\fIuser\fR and \fI@domain\fR constituent parts, nor is
+\fIuser+foo\fR broken up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+
+Results are the same as with indexed file lookups.

+The following \fBmain.cf\fR parameters are especially relevant to
+this topic. See the Postfix \fBmain.cf\fR file for syntax details
+and for default values. Use the "\fBpostfix reload\fR" command after
+a configuration change.
+.IP "\fBvirtual_alias_maps ($virtual_maps)\fR"
+Optional lookup tables that alias specific mail addresses or domains
+to other local or remote address.
+.IP "\fBvirtual_alias_domains ($virtual_alias_maps)\fR"
+Postfix is final destination for the specified list of virtual
+alias domains, that is, domains for which all addresses are aliased
+to addresses in other local or remote domains.
+.IP "\fBpropagate_unmatched_extensions (canonical, virtual)\fR"
+What address lookup tables copy an address extension from the lookup
+key to the lookup result.
+.PP
+Other parameters of interest:
+.IP "\fBinet_interfaces (all)\fR"
+The network interface addresses that this mail system receives
+mail on.
+.IP "\fBmydestination ($myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost)\fR"
+The list of domains that are delivered via the $local_transport
+mail delivery transport.
+.IP "\fBmyorigin ($myhostname)\fR"
+The domain name that locally\-posted mail appears to come
+from, and that locally posted mail is delivered to.
+.IP "\fBowner_request_special (yes)\fR"
+Enable special treatment for owner\-\fIlistname\fR entries in the
+\fBaliases\fR(5) file, and don't split owner\-\fIlistname\fR and
+\fIlistname\fR\-request address localparts when the recipient_delimiter
+is set to "\-".
+.IP "\fBproxy_interfaces (empty)\fR"
+The network interface addresses that this mail system receives mail
+on by way of a proxy or network address translation unit.
