POSTDROP(1) POSTDROP(1)
<b>NAME</b>
postdrop - Postfix mail posting utility
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>postdrop</b> [<b>-rv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a> command creates a file in the <b>maildrop</b> directory and
copies its standard input to the file.
Options:
<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
The <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file is in the named directory instead
of the default configuration directory. See also the MAIL_CONFIG
environment setting below.
<b>-r</b> Use a Postfix-internal protocol for reading the message from
standard input, and for reporting status information on standard
output. This is currently the only supported method.
<b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple <b>-v</b>
options make the software increasingly verbose. As of Postfix
2.3, this option is available for the super-user only.
<b>SECURITY</b>
The command is designed to run with set-group ID privileges, so that it
can write to the <b>maildrop</b> queue directory and so that it can connect to
Postfix daemon processes.
<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
Fatal errors: malformed input, I/O error, out of memory. Problems are
logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a> and to the standard error stream.
When the input is incomplete, or when the process receives a HUP, INT,
QUIT or TERM signal, the queue file is deleted.
<b>ENVIRONMENT</b>
MAIL_CONFIG
Directory with the <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file. In order to avoid exploitation
of set-group ID privileges, a non-standard directory is allowed
only if:
<b>o</b> The name is listed in the standard <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file with the
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#alternate_config_directories">alternate_config_directories</a></b> configuration parameter.
<b>o</b> The command is invoked by the super-user.
<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
The following <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> parameters are especially relevant to this pro-
gram. The text below provides only a parameter summary. See <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>post-</b></a>
<a href="postconf.5.html"><b>conf</b>(5)</a> for more details including examples.
