+SMTP(8) SMTP(8)
+
+<b>NAME</b>
+ smtp - Postfix SMTP+LMTP client
+
+<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
+ <b>smtp</b> [generic Postfix daemon options] [flags=DORX]
+
+<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.
+
+ 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> &lt;<i>sender</i>&gt;" 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>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. This document describes only
+ those LMTP-related parameters that aren't simply "mirror" parameters.
