This + program expects to be run from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager. + +<b>STANDARDS</b> + None. The <a href="pickup.8.html"><b>pickup</b>(8)</a> daemon does not interact with the outside world. + +<b>SECURITY</b> + The <a href="pickup.8.html"><b>pickup</b>(8)</a> daemon is moderately security sensitive. It runs with + fixed low privilege and can run in a chrooted environment. However, + the program reads files from potentially hostile users. The <a href="pickup.8.html"><b>pickup</b>(8)</a> + daemon opens no files for writing, is careful about what files it opens + for reading, and does not actually touch any data that is sent to its + public service endpoint. + +<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b> + Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a>. + +<b>BUGS</b> + The <a href="pickup.8.html"><b>pickup</b>(8)</a> daemon copies mail from file to the <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a> daemon. + It could avoid message copying overhead by sending a file descriptor + instead of file data, but then the already complex <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a> daemon + would have to deal with unfiltered user data. + +<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b> + As the <a href="pickup.8.html"><b>pickup</b>(8)</a> daemon is a relatively long-running process, up to an + hour may pass before a <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> change takes effect. Use the command + "<b>postfix reload</b>" command to speed up a change. + + The text below provides only a parameter summary.
