Each request specifies a queue file, a sender + address, the reason for non-delivery (specified as the next-hop desti- + nation), and recipient information. The reason may be prefixed with an + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3463">RFC 3463</a>-compatible detail code; if none is specified a default 4.0.0 + or 5.0.0 code is used instead. This program expects to be run from the + <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager. + + Depending on the service name in <a href="master.5.html">master.cf</a>, <b>error</b> or <b>retry</b>, the server + bounces or defers all recipients in the delivery request using the + "next-hop" information as the reason for non-delivery. The <b>retry</b> ser- + vice name is supported as of Postfix 2.4. + + Delivery status reports are sent to the <a href="bounce.8.html"><b>bounce</b>(8)</a>, <a href="defer.8.html"><b>defer</b>(8)</a> or <a href="trace.8.html"><b>trace</b>(8)</a> + daemon as appropriate. + +<b>SECURITY</b> + The <a href="error.8.html"><b>error</b>(8)</a> mailer is not security-sensitive.
