+Postfix error/retry mail delivery agent
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.na
+.nf
+\fBerror\fR [generic Postfix daemon options]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.ad
+.fi
+The Postfix \fBerror\fR(8) delivery agent processes delivery
+requests from
+the queue manager. Each request specifies a queue file, a sender
+address, the reason for non\-delivery (specified as the
+next\-hop destination), and recipient information.
+The reason may be prefixed with an RFC 3463\-compatible detail code;
+if none is specified a default 4.0.0 or 5.0.0 code is used instead.
+This program expects to be run from the \fBmaster\fR(8) process
+manager.
+
+Depending on the service name in master.cf, \fBerror\fR
+or \fBretry\fR, the server bounces or defers all recipients
+in the delivery request using the "next\-hop" information
+as the reason for non\-delivery. The \fBretry\fR service name is
+supported as of Postfix 2.4.
+
+Delivery status reports are sent to the \fBbounce\fR(8),
+\fBdefer\fR(8) or \fBtrace\fR(8) daemon as appropriate.
+.SH "SECURITY"
+.na
+.nf
+.ad
+.fi
+The \fBerror\fR(8) mailer is not security\-sensitive. It does not talk
+to the network, and can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege.
+.SH "STANDARDS"
+.na
+.nf
+RFC 3463 (Enhanced Status Codes)
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.ad
+.fi
+Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8)
+or \fBpostlogd\fR(8).
+
+Depending on the setting of the \fBnotify_classes\fR parameter,
+the postmaster is notified of bounces and of other trouble.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS"
+.na
+.nf
