<b>SYNOPSIS</b>

+
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client implements the SMTP and LMTP mail delivery
protocols. 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.
+ to be run from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager. The process name, <b>smtp</b> or
+ <b>lmtp</b>, controls the protocol, and the names of the configuration parame-
+ ters that will be used.
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.
+ The server lookup strategy is different for SMTP and LMTP, as described
+ in the sections "SMTP SERVER LOOKUP" and "LMTP SERVER LOOKUP".
