SMTP,(LMTP)                                                        SMTP,(LMTP)

<b>NAME</b>
       smtp, lmtp - Postfix SMTP+LMTP client

<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
       <b>smtp</b> [generic Postfix daemon options] [flags=DORX]

       <b>lmtp</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 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 server lookup strategy is different for SMTP and LMTP, as described
       in the sections "SMTP SERVER LOOKUP" and "LMTP SERVER LOOKUP".

       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 SERVER LOOKUP</b>
       The  Postfix  SMTP  client  supports multiple destinations separated by
       comma or whitespace (Postfix 3.5 and later).  Each destination is tried
       in the specified order.

       SMTP destinations have the following form:

       <i>domainname</i>

       <i>domainname</i>:<i>service</i>
              Look  up  the mail exchangers for the specified domain, and con-
              nect to the specified service (default: <b>smtp</b>).  Optionally, mail
              exchangers may be looked up with SRV queries instead of MX; this
              requires that <i>service</i> is given in symbolic form.

       [<i>hostname</i>]

       [<i>hostname</i>]:<i>service</i>
              Look up the address(es) for the specified host, and  connect  to
              the specified service (default: <b>smtp</b>).

       [<i>address</i>]

       [<i>address</i>]:<i>service</i>
              Connect to the host at the specified address, and connect to the
              specified service (default: <b>smtp</b>). An IPv6 address must be  for-
              matted as [<b>ipv6</b>:<i>address</i>].

<b>LMTP SERVER LOOKUP</b>
       The  Postfix  LMTP  client  supports multiple destinations separated by
       comma or whitespace (Postfix 3.5 and later).  Each destination is tried
       in the specified order.

       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>domainname</i>

       <b>inet</b>:<i>domainname</i>:<i>service</i>
              Look up the LMTP servers for the specified  domain  and  service
              (default:  <b>lmtp</b>).   This  form is supported when SRV lookups are
              enabled, and requires that <i>service</i> is in symbolic form.

       <b>inet</b>:<i>hostname</i>

       <b>inet</b>:<i>hostname</i>:<i>service</i>
              Look up the address(es) for the specified host, and  connect  to
              the  specified  service  (default:  <b>lmtp</b>).  When SRV lookups are
              enabled, use the form <b>[</b><i>hostname</i><b>]</b> to force address lookups.

       <b>inet</b>:[<i>address</i>]

       <b>inet</b>:[<i>address</i>]:<i>service</i>
              Connect to the  specified  local  or  remote  host  and  service
              (default:   <b>lmtp</b>).    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>
       Postfix versions 2.3 and later implement the SMTP and LMTP client  with
       the  same program, and choose the protocol and configuration parameters
       based on the process name, <b>smtp</b> or <b>lmtp</b>.

       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.

       Changes to <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> are picked up automatically,  as  <a href="smtp.8.html"><b>smtp</b>(8)</a>  processes
       run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "<b>postfix reload</b>"
       to speed up a change.
