+Postfix SMTP+LMTP client
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.na
+.nf
+\fBsmtp\fR [generic Postfix daemon options] [flags=DORX]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client implements the SMTP and LMTP mail
+delivery protocols. It processes message delivery requests from
+the queue manager. Each request specifies a queue file, a sender
+address, a domain or host to deliver to, and recipient information.
+This program expects to be run from the \fBmaster\fR(8) process
+manager.
+
+The SMTP+LMTP client updates the queue file and marks recipients
+as finished, or it informs the queue manager that delivery should
+be tried again at a later time. Delivery status reports are sent
+to the \fBbounce\fR(8), \fBdefer\fR(8) or \fBtrace\fR(8) daemon as
+appropriate.
+
+The SMTP+LMTP client looks up a list of mail exchanger addresses for
+the destination host, sorts the list by preference, and connects
+to each listed address until it finds a server that responds.
+
+When a server is not reachable, or when mail delivery fails due
+to a recoverable error condition, the SMTP+LMTP client will try to
+deliver the mail to an alternate host.
+
+After a successful mail transaction, a connection may be saved
+to the \fBscache\fR(8) connection cache server, so that it
+may be used by any SMTP+LMTP client for a subsequent transaction.
+
+By default, connection caching is enabled temporarily for
+destinations that have a high volume of mail in the active
+queue. Connection caching can be enabled permanently for
+specific destinations.
+.SH "SMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client supports multiple destinations
+separated by comma or whitespace (Postfix 3.5 and later).
+SMTP destinations have the following form:
+.IP \fIdomainname\fR
+.IP \fIdomainname\fR:\fIport\fR
+Look up the mail exchangers for the specified domain, and
+connect to the specified port (default: \fBsmtp\fR).
+.IP [\fIhostname\fR]
+.IP [\fIhostname\fR]:\fIport\fR
+Look up the address(es) of the specified host, and connect to
+the specified port (default: \fBsmtp\fR).
+.IP [\fIaddress\fR]
+.IP [\fIaddress\fR]:\fIport\fR
+Connect to the host at the specified address, and connect
+to the specified port (default: \fBsmtp\fR). An IPv6 address
+must be formatted as [\fBipv6\fR:\fIaddress\fR].
+.SH "LMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client supports multiple destinations
+separated by comma or whitespace (Postfix 3.5 and later).
+LMTP destinations have the following form:
+.IP \fBunix\fR:\fIpathname\fR
+Connect to the local UNIX\-domain server that is bound to the specified
+\fIpathname\fR. If the process runs chrooted, an absolute pathname
+is interpreted relative to the Postfix queue directory.
+.IP \fBinet\fR:\fIhostname\fR
+.IP \fBinet\fR:\fIhostname\fR:\fIport\fR
+.IP \fBinet\fR:[\fIaddress\fR]
+.IP \fBinet\fR:[\fIaddress\fR]:\fIport\fR
+Connect to the specified TCP port on the specified local or
+remote host. If no port is specified, connect to the port defined as
+\fBlmtp\fR in \fBservices\fR(4).
+If no such service is found, the \fBlmtp_tcp_port\fR configuration
+parameter (default value of 24) will be used.
+An IPv6 address must be formatted as [\fBipv6\fR:\fIaddress\fR].
+.SH "SINGLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+By default, the Postfix SMTP+LMTP client delivers mail to
+multiple recipients per delivery request. This is undesirable
+when prepending a \fBDelivered\-to:\fR or \fBX\-Original\-To:\fR
+message header. To prevent Postfix from sending multiple
+recipients per delivery request, specify
+.sp
+.nf
+ \fItransport\fB_destination_recipient_limit = 1\fR
+.fi
+
+in the Postfix \fBmain.cf\fR file, where \fItransport\fR
+is the name in the first column of the Postfix \fBmaster.cf\fR
+entry for this mail delivery service.
+.SH "COMMAND ATTRIBUTE SYNTAX"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+.IP "\fBflags=DORX\fR (optional)"
+Optional message processing flags.
+.RS
+.IP \fBD\fR
+Prepend a "\fBDelivered\-To: \fIrecipient\fR" message header
+with the envelope recipient address. Note: for this to work,
+the \fItransport\fB_destination_recipient_limit\fR must be
+1 (see SINGLE\-RECIPIENT DELIVERY above for details).
+.sp
+The \fBD\fR flag also enforces loop detection: if a message
+already contains a \fBDelivered\-To:\fR header with the same
+recipient address, then the message is returned as
+undeliverable. The address comparison is case insensitive.
+.sp
+This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5.
+.IP \fBO\fR
+Prepend an "\fBX\-Original\-To: \fIrecipient\fR" message
+header with the recipient address as given to Postfix. Note:
+for this to work, the
+\fItransport\fB_destination_recipient_limit\fR must be 1
+(see SINGLE\-RECIPIENT DELIVERY above for details).
+.sp
+This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5.
+.IP \fBR\fR
+Prepend a "\fBReturn\-Path: <\fIsender\fB>\fR" message header
+with the envelope sender address.
+.sp
+This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5.
+.IP \fBX\fR
+Indicates that the delivery is final. This flag affects
+the status reported in "success" DSN (delivery status
+notification) messages, and changes it from "relayed" into
+"delivered".
+.sp
+This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5.
+.RE
+.SH "SECURITY"
+.na
+.nf
+The SMTP+LMTP client is moderately security\-sensitive. It
+talks to SMTP or LMTP servers and to DNS servers on the
+network. The SMTP+LMTP client can be run chrooted at fixed
+low privilege.

+Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8)
+or \fBpostlogd\fR(8).
+Corrupted message files are marked so that the queue manager can
+move them to the \fBcorrupt\fR queue for further inspection.
+
+Depending on the setting of the \fBnotify_classes\fR parameter,
+the postmaster is notified of bounces, protocol problems, and of
+other trouble.
+.SH BUGS
+.ad
+.fi
+SMTP and LMTP connection reuse for TLS (without closing the
+SMTP or LMTP connection) is not supported before Postfix 3.4.
+
+SMTP and LMTP connection reuse assumes that SASL credentials
+are valid for all destinations that map onto the same IP
+address and TCP port.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Before Postfix version 2.3, the LMTP client is a separate
+program that implements only a subset of the functionality
+available with SMTP: there is no support for TLS, and
+connections are cached in\-process, making it ineffective
+when the client is used for multiple domains.
+
+Most smtp_\fIxxx\fR configuration parameters have an
+lmtp_\fIxxx\fR "mirror" parameter for the equivalent LMTP
+feature. This document describes only those LMTP\-related
+parameters that aren't simply "mirror" parameters.
+
+Changes to \fBmain.cf\fR are picked up automatically, as \fBsmtp\fR(8)
+processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command
+"\fBpostfix reload\fR" to speed up a change.
+
+The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
+\fBpostconf\fR(5) for more details including examples.
