Postfix memcache client Howto

+ +

Introduction

+ +

The Postfix memcache client allows you to hook up Postfix to a +memcache server. The current implementation supports one memcache +server per Postfix table, with one optional Postfix database that +provides persistent backup. The Postfix memcache client supports +the lookup, update, delete and sequence operations. The sequence +(i.e. first/next) operation requires a backup database that supports +this operation.

+ +

Typically, the Postfix memcache client is used to reduce query +load on a persistent database, but it may also be used to query a +memory-only database for low-value, easy-to-recreate, information +such as a reputation cache for postscreen(8), verify(8) or greylisting. +

+ +

Limitations

+ +

The Postfix memcache client cannot be used for security-sensitive +tables such as alias_maps (these may contain "|command" +and "/file/name" destinations), or virtual_uid_maps, +virtual_gid_maps and virtual_mailbox_maps (these +specify UNIX process privileges or "/file/name" destinations). +Typically, a memcache database is writable by any process that can +talk to the memcache server; in contrast, security-sensitive tables +must never be writable by the unprivileged Postfix user.
+ +
The Postfix memcache client requires additional configuration +when used as postscreen(8) or verify(8) cache. For details see the +backup and ttl parameter discussions in the +memcache_table(5) manual page.
+ +

+ +

Building Postfix with memcache support

+ +

The Postfix memcache client has no external dependencies, +and is therefore built into Postfix by default.

+ +

Configuring memcache lookup tables

+ +

Configuration is described in the memcache_table(5) manpage.

+ +

Credits

+ +

The first memcache client for Postfix was written by Omar Kilani, +and was based on the libmemcache library.

+ +

Wietse wrote the current memcache client from the ground up for +Postfix version 2.9. This implementation does not use libmemcache, +and bears no resemblance to earlier work.
