/* NAME
/* local 8
/* SUMMARY
/* Postfix local mail delivery
/* SYNOPSIS
/* \fBlocal\fR [generic Postfix daemon options]
/* DESCRIPTION
/* The \fBlocal\fR(8) daemon processes delivery requests from the
/* Postfix queue manager to deliver mail to local recipients.
/* Each delivery request specifies a queue file, a sender address,
/* a domain or host to deliver to, and one or more recipients.
/* This program expects to be run from the \fBmaster\fR(8) process
/* manager.
/*
/* The \fBlocal\fR(8) daemon updates queue files 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 \fBbounce\fR(8), \fBdefer\fR(8) or \fBtrace\fR(8) daemon as
/* appropriate.
/* CASE FOLDING
/* .ad
/* .fi
/* All delivery decisions are made using the bare recipient
/* name (i.e. the address localpart), folded to lower case.
/* See also under ADDRESS EXTENSION below for a few exceptions.
/* SYSTEM-WIDE AND USER-LEVEL ALIASING
/* .ad
/* .fi
/* The system administrator can set up one or more system-wide
/* \fBsendmail\fR-style alias databases.
/* Users can have \fBsendmail\fR-style ~/.\fBforward\fR files.
/* Mail for \fIname\fR is delivered to the alias \fIname\fR, to
/* destinations in ~\fIname\fR/.\fBforward\fR, to the mailbox owned
/* by the user \fIname\fR, or it is sent back as undeliverable.
/*
/* The system administrator can specify a comma/space separated list
/* of ~\fR/.\fBforward\fR like files through the \fBforward_path\fR
/* configuration parameter. Upon delivery, the local delivery agent
/* tries each pathname in the list until a file is found.
/*
/* Delivery via ~/.\fBforward\fR files is done with the privileges
/* of the recipient.
/* Thus, ~/.\fBforward\fR like files must be readable by the
/* recipient, and their parent directory needs to have "execute"
/* permission for the recipient.
/*
/* The \fBforward_path\fR parameter is subject to interpolation of
/* \fB$user\fR (recipient username), \fB$home\fR (recipient home
/* directory), \fB$shell\fR (recipient shell), \fB$recipient\fR
/* (complete recipient address), \fB$extension\fR (recipient address
/* extension), \fB$domain\fR (recipient domain), \fB$local\fR
/* (entire recipient address localpart) and
/* \fB$recipient_delimiter.\fR The forms \fI${name?value}\fR
/* and \fI${name?{value}}\fR (Postfix 3.0 and later) expand
/* conditionally to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR is defined,
/* and the forms \fI${name:value}\fR \fI${name:{value}}\fR
/* (Postfix 3.0 and later) expand conditionally to \fIvalue\fR
/* when \fI$name\fR is not defined. The form
/* \fI${name?{value1}:{value2}}\fR (Postfix 3.0 and later)
/* expands conditionally to \fIvalue1\fR when \fI$name\fR is
/* defined, or \fIvalue2\fR otherwise. Characters that may
/* have special meaning to the shell or file system are replaced
/* with underscores. The list of acceptable characters is
/* specified with the \fBforward_expansion_filter\fR configuration
/* parameter.
/*
/* An alias or ~/.\fBforward\fR file may list any combination of external
/* commands, destination file names, \fB:include:\fR directives, or
/* mail addresses.
/* See \fBaliases\fR(5) for a precise description. Each line in a
/* user's .\fBforward\fR file has the same syntax as the right-hand part
/* of an alias.
/*
/* When an address is found in its own alias expansion, delivery is
/* made to the user instead. When a user is listed in the user's own
/* ~/.\fBforward\fR file, delivery is made to the user's mailbox instead.
/* An empty ~/.\fBforward\fR file means do not forward mail.
/*
/* In order to prevent the mail system from using up unreasonable
/* amounts of memory, input records read from \fB:include:\fR or from
/* ~/.\fBforward\fR files are broken up into chunks of length
/* \fBline_length_limit\fR.
/*
/* While expanding aliases, ~/.\fBforward\fR files, and so on, the
/* program attempts to avoid duplicate deliveries. The
/* \fBduplicate_filter_limit\fR configuration parameter limits the
/* number of remembered recipients.
/* MAIL FORWARDING
/* .ad
/* .fi
/* For the sake of reliability, forwarded mail is re-submitted as
/* a new message, so that each recipient has a separate on-file
/* delivery status record.
/*
/* In order to stop mail forwarding loops early, the software adds an
/* optional
/* \fBDelivered-To:\fR header with the final envelope recipient address. If
/* mail arrives for a recipient that is already listed in a
/* \fBDelivered-To:\fR header, the message is bounced.
/* MAILBOX DELIVERY
/* .ad
/* .fi
/* The default per-user mailbox is a file in the UNIX mail spool
/* directory (\fB/var/mail/\fIuser\fR or \fB/var/spool/mail/\fIuser\fR);
/* the location can be specified with the \fBmail_spool_directory\fR
/* configuration parameter. Specify a name ending in \fB/\fR for
/* \fBqmail\fR-compatible \fBmaildir\fR delivery.
/*
/* Alternatively, the per-user mailbox can be a file in the user's home
/* directory with a name specified via the \fBhome_mailbox\fR
/* configuration parameter. Specify a relative path name. Specify a name
/* ending in \fB/\fR for \fBqmail\fR-compatible \fBmaildir\fR delivery.
/*
/* Mailbox delivery can be delegated to an external command specified
/* with the \fBmailbox_command_maps\fR and \fBmailbox_command\fR
/* configuration parameters. The command
/* executes with the privileges of the recipient user (exceptions:
/* secondary groups are not enabled; in case of delivery as root,
/* the command executes with the privileges of \fBdefault_privs\fR).
/*
/* Mailbox delivery can be delegated to alternative message transports
/* specified in the \fBmaster.cf\fR file.
/* The \fBmailbox_transport_maps\fR and \fBmailbox_transport\fR
/* configuration parameters specify an optional
/* message transport that is to be used for all local recipients,
/* regardless of whether they are found in the UNIX passwd database.
/* The \fBfallback_transport_maps\fR and
/* \fBfallback_transport\fR parameters specify an optional
/* message transport
/* for recipients that are not found in the aliases(5) or UNIX
/* passwd database.
/*
/* In the case of UNIX-style mailbox delivery,
/* the \fBlocal\fR(8) daemon prepends a "\fBFrom \fIsender time_stamp\fR"
/* envelope header to each message, prepends an
/* \fBX-Original-To:\fR header with the recipient address as given to
/* Postfix, prepends an
/* optional \fBDelivered-To:\fR header
/* with the final envelope recipient address, prepends a \fBReturn-Path:\fR
/* header with the envelope sender address, prepends a \fB>\fR character
/* to lines beginning with "\fBFrom \fR", and appends an empty line.
/* The mailbox is locked for exclusive access while delivery is in
/* progress. In case of problems, an attempt is made to truncate the
/* mailbox to its original length.
/*
/* In the case of \fBmaildir\fR delivery, the local daemon prepends
/* an optional
/* \fBDelivered-To:\fR header with the final envelope recipient address,
/* prepends an
/* \fBX-Original-To:\fR header with the recipient address as given to
/* Postfix,
/* and prepends a \fBReturn-Path:\fR header with the envelope sender
/* address.
/* EXTERNAL COMMAND DELIVERY
/* .ad
/* .fi
/* The \fBallow_mail_to_commands\fR configuration parameter restricts
/* delivery to external commands. The default setting (\fBalias,
/* forward\fR) forbids command destinations in \fB:include:\fR files.
/*
/* Optionally, the process working directory is changed to the path
/* specified with \fBcommand_execution_directory\fR (Postfix 2.2 and
/* later). Failure to change directory causes mail to be deferred.
/*
/* The \fBcommand_execution_directory\fR parameter value is subject
/* to interpolation of \fB$user\fR (recipient username),
/* \fB$home\fR (recipient home directory), \fB$shell\fR
/* (recipient shell), \fB$recipient\fR (complete recipient

/* DELIVERY RIGHTS
/* .ad
/* .fi
/* Deliveries to external files and external commands are made with
/* the rights of the receiving user on whose behalf the delivery is made.
/* In the absence of a user context, the \fBlocal\fR(8) daemon uses the
/* owner rights of the \fB:include:\fR file or alias database.
/* When those files are owned by the superuser, delivery is made with
/* the rights specified with the \fBdefault_privs\fR configuration
/* parameter.
/* STANDARDS
/* RFC 822 (ARPA Internet Text Messages)
/* RFC 3463 (Enhanced status codes)
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/* Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8)
/* or \fBpostlogd\fR(8).
/* Corrupted message files are marked so that the queue
/* manager can move them to the \fBcorrupt\fR queue afterwards.
/*
/* Depending on the setting of the \fBnotify_classes\fR parameter,
/* the postmaster is notified of bounces and of other trouble.
/* SECURITY
/* .ad
/* .fi
/* The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent needs a dual personality
/* 1) to access the private Postfix queue and IPC mechanisms,
/* 2) to impersonate the recipient and deliver to recipient-specified
/* files or commands. It is therefore security sensitive.
/*
/* The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent disallows regular expression
/* substitution of $1 etc. in \fBalias_maps\fR, because that
/* would open a security hole.
/*
/* The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent will silently ignore
/* requests to use the \fBproxymap\fR(8) server within
/* \fBalias_maps\fR. Instead it will open the table directly.
/* Before Postfix version 2.2, the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery
/* agent will terminate with a fatal error.
/* BUGS
/* For security reasons, the message delivery status of external commands
/* or of external files is never checkpointed to file. As a result,
/* the program may occasionally deliver more than once to a command or
/* external file. Better safe than sorry.
/*
/* Mutually-recursive aliases or ~/.\fBforward\fR files are not detected
/* early. The resulting mail forwarding loop is broken by the use of the
/* \fBDelivered-To:\fR message header.
/* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
