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. +# SYNTAX +# .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 +# Postfix configuration hard to understand and maintain. At +# a certain point, it might be easier to configure multiple +# instances of Postfix, instead of configuring multiple +# personalities via master.cf. +# .IP \fB-v\fR +# Increase the verbose logging level. Specify multiple \fB-v\fR +# options to make a Postfix daemon process increasingly verbose. +# .IP "Other command-line arguments" +# Specify "{" and "}" around command arguments that contain +# whitespace (Postfix 3.0 and later). Whitespace +# after "{" and before "}" is ignored. +# SEE ALSO +# master(8), process manager +# postconf(5), configuration parameters +# README FILES +# .ad +# .fi +# Use "\fBpostconf readme_directory\fR" or +# "\fBpostconf html_directory\fR" to locate this information. +# .na +# .nf +# BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README, basic configuration +# DEBUG_README, Postfix debugging +# LICENSE +# .ad +# .fi +# The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software. +# AUTHOR(S) +# Initial version by +# Magnus Baeck +# Lund Institute of Technology +# Sweden +# +# Wietse Venema +# IBM T.J.
