+\fBpostfix\fR [\fB\-Dv\fR] [\fB\-c \fIconfig_dir\fR] \fIcommand\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+This command is reserved for the superuser. To submit mail,
+use the Postfix \fBsendmail\fR(1) command.
+
+The \fBpostfix\fR(1) command controls the operation of the Postfix
+mail system: start or stop the \fBmaster\fR(8) daemon, do a health
+check, and other maintenance.
+
+By default, the \fBpostfix\fR(1) command sets up a standardized
+environment and runs the \fBpostfix\-script\fR shell script
+to do the actual work.
+
+However, when support for multiple Postfix instances is
+configured, \fBpostfix\fR(1) executes the command specified
+with the \fBmulti_instance_wrapper\fR configuration parameter.
+This command will execute the \fIcommand\fR for each
+applicable Postfix instance.
+
+The following commands are implemented:
+.IP \fBcheck\fR
+Warn about bad directory/file ownership or permissions,
+and create missing directories.
+.IP \fBstart\fR
+Start the Postfix mail system. This also runs the configuration
+check described above.
+.IP \fBstart\-fg\fR
+Like \fBstart\fR, but keep the \fBmaster\fR(8) daemon running
+in the foreground, and enable \fBmaster\fR(8) "init" mode
+when running as PID 1.
+This command requires that multi\-instance support is
+disabled (i.e. the multi_instance_directories parameter
+value must be empty).
+
+When running Postfix inside a container, see MAILLOG_README
+for logging to stdout. Postfix logs to syslog by default,
+which requires a) running a syslogd process inside the
+container, or b) mounting the container host's /dev/log
+socket inside the container (example: "docker run \-v
+/dev/log:/dev/log ..."), and c) a distinct Postfix "syslog_name"
+prefix that identifies logging from the Postfix instance.
+.IP \fBstop\fR
+Stop the Postfix mail system in an orderly fashion. If
+possible, running processes are allowed to terminate at
+their earliest convenience.
+.sp
+Note: in order to refresh the Postfix mail system after a
+configuration change, do not use the \fBstart\fR and \fBstop\fR
+commands in succession. Use the \fBreload\fR command instead.
+.IP \fBabort\fR
+Stop the Postfix mail system abruptly. Running processes are
+signaled to stop immediately.
+.IP \fBflush\fR
+Force delivery: attempt to deliver every message in the deferred
+mail queue. Normally, attempts to deliver delayed mail happen at
+regular intervals, the interval doubling after each failed attempt.
+.sp
+Warning: flushing undeliverable mail frequently will result in
+poor delivery performance of all other mail.
+.IP \fBreload\fR
+Re\-read configuration files. Running processes terminate at their
+earliest convenience.
+.IP \fBstatus\fR
+Indicate if the Postfix mail system is currently running
+(zero exit status) or stopped (non\-zero exit status).
+.IP "\fBset\-permissions\fR [\fIname\fR=\fIvalue ...\fR]"
+Set the ownership and permissions of Postfix related files and
+directories, as specified in the \fBpostfix\-files\fR file.
+.sp
+Specify \fIname\fR=\fIvalue\fR to override and update specific
+main.cf configuration parameters. Use this, for example, to
+change the \fBmail_owner\fR or \fBsetgid_group\fR setting for an
+already installed Postfix system.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.  With
+Postfix 2.0 and earlier, use "\fB$config_directory/post\-install
+set\-permissions\fR".
+.IP "\fBlogrotate\fR"
+Rotate the logfile specified with $maillog_file, by appending
+a time\-stamp suffix that is formatted according to
+$maillog_file_rotate_suffix, and by compressing the file
+with the command specified with $maillog_file_compressor.
+This will not rotate /dev/* files.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.4 and later.
+.IP "\fBtls\fR \fIsubcommand\fR"
+Enable opportunistic TLS in the Postfix SMTP client or
+server, and manage Postfix SMTP server TLS private keys and
+certificates.  See postfix\-tls(1) for documentation.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 3.1 and later.
+.IP "\fBupgrade\-configuration\fR [\fIname\fR=\fIvalue ...\fR]"
+Update the \fBmain.cf\fR and \fBmaster.cf\fR files with information
+that Postfix needs in order to run: add or update services, and add
+or update configuration parameter settings.
+.sp
+Specify \fIname\fR=\fIvalue\fR to override and update specific
+main.cf configuration parameters.
+.sp
+This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.  With
+Postfix 2.0 and earlier, use "\fB$config_directory/post\-install
+upgrade\-configuration\fR".
+.PP
+The following options are implemented:
+.IP "\fB\-c \fIconfig_dir\fR"
+Read the \fBmain.cf\fR and \fBmaster.cf\fR configuration files in
+the named directory instead of the default configuration directory.
+Use this to distinguish between multiple Postfix instances on the
+same host.
+
+With Postfix 2.6 and later, this option forces the postfix(1)
+command to operate on the specified Postfix instance only.
+This behavior is inherited by postfix(1) commands that run
+as a descendant of the current process.
+.IP "\fB\-D\fR (with \fBpostfix start\fR only)"
+Run each Postfix daemon under control of a debugger as specified
+via the \fBdebugger_command\fR configuration parameter.
+.IP \fB\-v\fR
+Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple \fB\-v\fR
+options make the software increasingly verbose.
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The \fBpostfix\fR(1) command exports the following environment
+variables before executing the \fBpostfix\-script\fR file:
+.IP \fBMAIL_CONFIG\fR
+This is set when the \-c command\-line option is present.
+
+With Postfix 2.6 and later, this environment variable forces
+the postfix(1) command to operate on the specified Postfix
+instance only.  This behavior is inherited by postfix(1)
+commands that run as a descendant of the current process.
+.IP \fBMAIL_VERBOSE\fR
+This is set when the \-v command\-line option is present.
+.IP \fBMAIL_DEBUG\fR
+This is set when the \-D command\-line option is present.
+.PP
+When the internal logging service is enabled (by setting a
+non\-empty maillog_file parameter value) the postfix(1)
+command exports settings that are used by child processes
+before they have processed main.cf or command\-line settings.
+.IP \fBPOSTLOG_SERVICE
+The name of the public postlog service endpoint.
+.IP \fBPOSTLOG_HOSTNAME
+The hostname to prepend to internal logging.
