QMQPD(8)                                                              QMQPD(8)

<b>NAME</b>
       qmqpd - Postfix QMQP server

<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
       <b>qmqpd</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]

<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
       The Postfix QMQP server receives one message per connection.  Each mes-
       sage is piped through the <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a> daemon, and  is  placed  into  the
       <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#incoming_queue"><b>incoming</b> queue</a> as one single queue file.  The program expects to be run
       from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager.

       The QMQP server implements one access policy:  only  explicitly  autho-
       rized client hosts are allowed to use the service.

<b>SECURITY</b>
       The  QMQP  server  is  moderately  security-sensitive. It talks to QMQP
       clients and to DNS servers on the network. The QMQP server 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>.

<b>BUGS</b>
       The  QMQP protocol provides only one server reply per message delivery.
       It is therefore not possible to reject individual recipients.

       The QMQP protocol requires the server to  receive  the  entire  message
       before  replying. If a message is malformed, or if any netstring compo-
       nent is longer than acceptable, Postfix replies immediately and  closes
       the connection. It is left up to the client to handle the situation.

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

       The  text  below provides only a parameter summary. See <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>postconf</b>(5)</a> for
       more details including examples.
