+Postfix discard mail delivery agent
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.na
+.nf
+\fBdiscard\fR [generic Postfix daemon options]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix \fBdiscard\fR(8) delivery agent processes
+delivery requests from
+the queue manager. Each request specifies a queue file, a sender
+address, a next\-hop destination that is treated as the reason for
+discarding the mail, and recipient information.
+The reason may be prefixed with an RFC 3463\-compatible detail code.
+This program expects to be run from the \fBmaster\fR(8) process
+manager.
+
+The \fBdiscard\fR(8) delivery agent pretends to deliver all recipients
+in the delivery request, logs the "next\-hop" destination
+as the reason for discarding the mail, updates the
+queue file, and either marks recipients as finished or informs the
+queue manager that delivery should be tried again at a later time.
+
+Delivery status reports are sent to the \fBtrace\fR(8)
+daemon as appropriate.
+.SH "SECURITY"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The \fBdiscard\fR(8) mailer is not security\-sensitive. It does not talk
+to the network, and can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege.
+.SH "STANDARDS"
+.na
+.nf
+RFC 3463 (Enhanced Status Codes)
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.ad
+.fi
+Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8)
+or \fBpostlogd\fR(8).
+
+Depending on the setting of the \fBnotify_classes\fR parameter,
+the postmaster is notified of bounces and of other trouble.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+Changes to \fBmain.cf\fR are picked up automatically as \fBdiscard\fR(8)
+processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command
+"\fBpostfix reload\fR" to speed up a change.
