Delivery status reports are sent +to the \fBbounce\fR(8), \fBdefer\fR(8) or \fBtrace\fR(8) daemon as +appropriate. +.SH "CASE FOLDING" +.na +.nf +.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. +.SH "SYSTEM-WIDE AND USER-LEVEL ALIASING" +.na +.nf +.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. +.SH "MAIL FORWARDING" +.na +.nf +.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. +.SH "MAILBOX DELIVERY" +.na +.nf +.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. +.SH "EXTERNAL COMMAND DELIVERY" +.na +.nf +.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 +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 +and \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 \fBexecution_directory_expansion_filter\fR +configuration parameter. + +The command is executed directly where possible. Assistance by the +shell (\fB/bin/sh\fR on UNIX systems) is used only when the command +contains shell magic characters, or when the command invokes a shell +built\-in command. + +A limited amount of command output (standard output and standard +error) is captured for inclusion with non\-delivery status reports. +A command is forcibly terminated if it does not complete within +\fBcommand_time_limit\fR seconds. Command exit status codes are +expected to follow the conventions defined in <\fBsysexits.h\fR>. +Exit status 0 means normal successful completion. + +Postfix version 2.3 and later support RFC 3463\-style enhanced +status codes. If a command terminates with a non\-zero exit +status, and the command output begins with an enhanced +status code, this status code takes precedence over the +non\-zero exit status. + +A limited amount of message context is exported via environment +variables.

Specify a name +ending in \fB/\fR for \fBqmail\fR\-compatible \fBmaildir\fR delivery. + +The \fBallow_mail_to_files\fR configuration parameter restricts +delivery to external files. The default setting (\fBalias, +forward\fR) forbids file destinations in \fB:include:\fR files. + +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 recipient envelope address, prepends a \fB>\fR +character to lines beginning with "\fBFrom \fR", and appends an +empty line. +The envelope sender address is available in the \fBReturn\-Path:\fR +header. +When the destination is a regular file, it is locked for exclusive +access while delivery is in progress. In case of problems, an attempt +is made to truncate a regular file 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, +and prepends an +\fBX\-Original\-To:\fR header with the recipient address as given to +Postfix. +The envelope sender address is available in the \fBReturn\-Path:\fR +header. +.SH "ADDRESS EXTENSION" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +The optional \fBrecipient_delimiter\fR configuration parameter +specifies how to separate address extensions from local recipient +names. + +For example, with "\fBrecipient_delimiter = +\fR", mail for +\fIname\fR+\fIfoo\fR is delivered to the alias \fIname\fR+\fIfoo\fR +or to the alias \fIname\fR, to the destinations listed in +~\fIname\fR/.\fBforward\fR+\fIfoo\fR or in ~\fIname\fR/.\fBforward\fR, +to the mailbox owned by the user \fIname\fR, or it is sent back as +undeliverable. +.SH "DELIVERY RIGHTS" +.na +.nf +.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. +.SH "STANDARDS" +.na +.nf +RFC 822 (ARPA Internet Text Messages) +RFC 3463 (Enhanced status codes) +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +.ad +.fi +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. +.SH "SECURITY" +.na +.nf +.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. +.SH BUGS +.ad +.fi +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. +.SH "CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +Changes to \fBmain.cf\fR are picked up automatically, as \fBlocal\fR(8) +processes run for only a limited amount of time.
