No persistent +state is kept because standard system library routines are +not sufficiently robust for update\-intensive applications. + +Although the in\-memory state is kept only temporarily, this +may require a lot of memory on systems that handle connections +from many remote clients.

If a +server process reports +multiple simultaneous clients, state is kept only for the last +reported client. + +The \fBanvil\fR(8) server automatically discards client +request information after it expires.

Delivery status reports are sent +to the \fBbounce\fR(8), \fBdefer\fR(8) or \fBtrace\fR(8) daemon as +appropriate. +.SH "CASE FOLDING" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +All delivery decisions are made using the bare recipient +name (i.e. the address localpart), folded to lower case. +See also under ADDRESS EXTENSION below for a few exceptions. +.SH "SYSTEM-WIDE AND USER-LEVEL ALIASING" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +The system administrator can set up one or more system\-wide +\fBsendmail\fR\-style alias databases. +Users can have \fBsendmail\fR\-style ~/.\fBforward\fR files. +Mail for \fIname\fR is delivered to the alias \fIname\fR, to +destinations in ~\fIname\fR/.\fBforward\fR, to the mailbox owned +by the user \fIname\fR, or it is sent back as undeliverable. + +The system administrator can specify a comma/space separated list +of ~\fR/.\fBforward\fR like files through the \fBforward_path\fR +configuration parameter.

The list of acceptable characters +is specified with the \fBforward_expansion_filter\fR configuration +parameter. + +An alias or ~/.\fBforward\fR file may list any combination of external +commands, destination file names, \fB:include:\fR directives, or +mail addresses. +See \fBaliases\fR(5) for a precise description. Each line in a +user's .\fBforward\fR file has the same syntax as the right\-hand part +of an alias. + +When an address is found in its own alias expansion, delivery is +made to the user instead. When a user is listed in the user's own +~/.\fBforward\fR file, delivery is made to the user's mailbox instead. +An empty ~/.\fBforward\fR file means do not forward mail. + +In order to prevent the mail system from using up unreasonable +amounts of memory, input records read from \fB:include:\fR or from +~/.\fBforward\fR files are broken up into chunks of length +\fBline_length_limit\fR. + +While expanding aliases, ~/.\fBforward\fR files, and so on, the +program attempts to avoid duplicate deliveries.

It is therefore security sensitive. + +The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent disallows regular expression +substitution of $1 etc. in \fBalias_maps\fR, because that +would open a security hole. + +The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent will silently ignore +requests to use the \fBproxymap\fR(8) server within +\fBalias_maps\fR. 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 BUGS +.ad +.fi +For security reasons, the message delivery status of external commands +or of external files is never checkpointed to file.

Each server can handle multiple simultaneous connections. +When all servers are busy while a client connects, the \fBmaster\fR(8) +creates a new \fBproxymap\fR(8) server process, provided that the +process limit is not exceeded. +Each server terminates after serving at least \fB$max_use\fR clients +or after \fB$max_idle\fR seconds of idle time. +.SH "SECURITY" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +The \fBproxymap\fR(8) server opens only tables that are +approved via the \fBproxy_read_maps\fR or \fBproxy_write_maps\fR +configuration parameters, does not talk to +users, and can run at fixed low privilege, chrooted or not. +However, running the proxymap server chrooted severely limits +usability, because it can open only chrooted tables. + +The \fBproxymap\fR(8) server is not a trusted daemon process, and must +not be used to look up sensitive information such as UNIX user or +group IDs, mailbox file/directory names or external commands. + +In Postfix version 2.2 and later, the proxymap client recognizes +requests to access a table for security\-sensitive purposes, +and opens the table directly. This allows the same main.cf +setting to be used by sensitive and non\-sensitive processes. + +Postfix\-writable data files should be stored under a dedicated +directory that is writable only by the Postfix mail system, +such as the Postfix\-owned \fBdata_directory\fR. + +In particular, Postfix\-writable files should never exist +in root\-owned directories. That would open up a particular +type of security hole where ownership of a file or directory +does not match the provider of its content. +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +.ad +.fi +Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8) +or \fBpostlogd\fR(8). +.SH BUGS +.ad +.fi +The \fBproxymap\fR(8) server provides service to multiple clients, +and must therefore not be used for tables that have high\-latency +lookups. + +The \fBproxymap\fR(8) read\-write service does not explicitly +close lookup tables (even if it did, this could not be relied on, +because the process may be terminated between table updates). +The read\-write service should therefore not be used with tables that +leave persistent storage in an inconsistent state between +updates (for example, CDB).

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

See also the next section +for a few exceptions with optional address extensions. +.SH "TABLE SEARCH ORDER" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +Normally, a lookup table is specified as a text file that +serves as input to the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command.

This program is not designed to run chrooted. + +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. + +The \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent will silently ignore requests +to use the \fBproxymap\fR(8) server.
