It processes message delivery requests from the queue man- + ager. 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 <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> 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 + <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. + + 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 + <a href="scache.8.html"><b>scache</b>(8)</a> 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 <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#active_queue">active queue</a>. Connection caching + can be enabled permanently for specific destinations. + +<b>SMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX</b> + The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client supports multiple destinations separated + by comma or whitespace (Postfix 3.5 and later). SMTP destinations have + the following form: + + <i>domainname</i> + + <i>domainname</i>:<i>port</i> + Look up the mail exchangers for the specified domain, and con- + nect to the specified port (default: <b>smtp</b>). + + [<i>hostname</i>] + + [<i>hostname</i>]:<i>port</i> + Look up the address(es) of the specified host, and connect to + the specified port (default: <b>smtp</b>). + + [<i>address</i>] + + [<i>address</i>]:<i>port</i> + Connect to the host at the specified address, and connect to the + specified port (default: <b>smtp</b>). An IPv6 address must be format- + ted as [<b>ipv6</b>:<i>address</i>]. + +<b>LMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX</b> + The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client supports multiple destinations separated + by comma or whitespace (Postfix 3.5 and later). LMTP destinations have + the following form: + + <b>unix</b>:<i>pathname</i> + Connect to the local UNIX-domain server that is bound to the + specified <i>pathname</i>. If the process runs chrooted, an absolute + pathname is interpreted relative to the Postfix queue directory. + + <b>inet</b>:<i>hostname</i> + + <b>inet</b>:<i>hostname</i>:<i>port</i> + + <b>inet</b>:[<i>address</i>] + + <b>inet</b>:[<i>address</i>]:<i>port</i> + Connect to the specified TCP port on the specified local or + remote host. If no port is specified, connect to the port + defined as <b>lmtp</b> in <b>services</b>(4). If no such service is found, + the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#lmtp_tcp_port">lmtp_tcp_port</a></b> configuration parameter (default value of 24) + will be used. An IPv6 address must be formatted as + [<b>ipv6</b>:<i>address</i>]. + +<b>SINGLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY</b> + By default, the Postfix SMTP+LMTP client delivers mail to multiple + recipients per delivery request. This is undesirable when prepending a + <b>Delivered-to:</b> or <b>X-Original-To:</b> message header. To prevent Postfix from + sending multiple recipients per delivery request, specify + + <b><a href="postconf.5.html#transport_destination_recipient_limit"><i>transport</i>_destination_recipient_limit</a> = 1</b> + + in the Postfix <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file, where <i>transport</i> is the name in the first + column of the Postfix <a href="master.5.html"><b>master.cf</b></a> entry for this mail delivery service. + +<b>COMMAND ATTRIBUTE SYNTAX</b> + <b>flags=DORX</b> (optional) + Optional message processing flags. + + <b>D</b> Prepend a "<b>Delivered-To:</b> <i>recipient</i>" message header with + the envelope recipient address. Note: for this to work, + the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#transport_destination_recipient_limit"><i>transport</i>_destination_recipient_limit</a></b> must be 1 (see + SINGLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY above for details). + + The <b>D</b> flag also enforces loop detection: if a message + already contains a <b>Delivered-To:</b> header with the same + recipient address, then the message is returned as unde- + liverable. The address comparison is case insensitive. + + This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5. + + <b>O</b> Prepend an "<b>X-Original-To:</b> <i>recipient</i>" message header with + the recipient address as given to Postfix. Note: for this + to work, the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#transport_destination_recipient_limit"><i>transport</i>_destination_recipient_limit</a></b> must + be 1 (see SINGLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY above for details). + + This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5. + + <b>R</b> Prepend a "<b>Return-Path:</b> <<i>sender</i>>" message header with the + envelope sender address. + + This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5. + + <b>X</b> 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". + + This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5. + +<b>SECURITY</b> + 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. + +<b>STANDARDS</b> + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc821">RFC 821</a> (SMTP protocol) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822">RFC 822</a> (ARPA Internet Text Messages) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1651">RFC 1651</a> (SMTP service extensions) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1652">RFC 1652</a> (8bit-MIME transport) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1870">RFC 1870</a> (Message Size Declaration) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2033">RFC 2033</a> (LMTP protocol) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2034">RFC 2034</a> (SMTP Enhanced Error Codes) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045">RFC 2045</a> (MIME: Format of Internet Message Bodies) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046">RFC 2046</a> (MIME: Media Types) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2554">RFC 2554</a> (AUTH command) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2821">RFC 2821</a> (SMTP protocol) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2920">RFC 2920</a> (SMTP Pipelining) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3207">RFC 3207</a> (STARTTLS command) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3461">RFC 3461</a> (SMTP DSN Extension) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3463">RFC 3463</a> (Enhanced Status Codes) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4954">RFC 4954</a> (AUTH command) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321">RFC 5321</a> (SMTP protocol) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531">RFC 6531</a> (Internationalized SMTP) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6533">RFC 6533</a> (Internationalized Delivery Status Notifications) + <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7672">RFC 7672</a> (SMTP security via opportunistic DANE TLS) + +<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b> + Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a>. + Corrupted message files are marked so that the queue manager can move + them to the <b>corrupt</b> queue for further inspection. + + Depending on the setting of the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#notify_classes">notify_classes</a></b> parameter, the postmas- + ter is notified of bounces, protocol problems, and of other trouble. + +<b>BUGS</b> + 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. + +<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b> + 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_<i>xxx</i> configuration parameters have an lmtp_<i>xxx</i> "mirror" param- + eter for the equivalent LMTP feature.
