SMTP(8) SMTP(8)
<b>NAME</b>
smtp - Postfix SMTP+LMTP client
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>smtp</b> [generic Postfix daemon options] [flags=DORX]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client implements the SMTP and LMTP mail delivery
protocols. It processes message delivery requests from the queue man-
ager. Each request specifies a queue file, a sender address, a domain
or host to deliver to, and recipient information. This program expects
to be run from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager.
The SMTP+LMTP client updates the queue file 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
<a href="bounce.8.html"><b>bounce</b>(8)</a>, <a href="defer.8.html"><b>defer</b>(8)</a> or <a href="trace.8.html"><b>trace</b>(8)</a> daemon as appropriate.
The SMTP+LMTP client looks up a list of mail exchanger addresses for
the destination host, sorts the list by preference, and connects to
each listed address until it finds a server that responds.
When a server is not reachable, or when mail delivery fails due to a
recoverable error condition, the SMTP+LMTP client will try to deliver
the mail to an alternate host.
After a successful mail transaction, a connection may be saved to the
<a href="scache.8.html"><b>scache</b>(8)</a> connection cache server, so that it may be used by any
SMTP+LMTP client for a subsequent transaction.
By default, connection caching is enabled temporarily for destinations
that have a high volume of mail in the <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#active_queue">active queue</a>. Connection caching
can be enabled permanently for specific destinations.
<b>SMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX</b>
The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client supports multiple destinations separated
by comma or whitespace (Postfix 3.5 and later). SMTP destinations have
the following form:
<i>domainname</i>
<i>domainname</i>:<i>port</i>
Look up the mail exchangers for the specified domain, and con-
nect to the specified port (default: <b>smtp</b>).
[<i>hostname</i>]
[<i>hostname</i>]:<i>port</i>
Look up the address(es) of the specified host, and connect to
the specified port (default: <b>smtp</b>).
[<i>address</i>]
[<i>address</i>]:<i>port</i>
Connect to the host at the specified address, and connect to the
specified port (default: <b>smtp</b>). An IPv6 address must be format-
ted as [<b>ipv6</b>:<i>address</i>].
<b>LMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX</b>
The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client supports multiple destinations separated
by comma or whitespace (Postfix 3.5 and later). LMTP destinations have
the following form:
<b>unix</b>:<i>pathname</i>
Connect to the local UNIX-domain server that is bound to the
specified <i>pathname</i>. If the process runs chrooted, an absolute
pathname is interpreted relative to the Postfix queue directory.
<b>inet</b>:<i>hostname</i>
<b>inet</b>:<i>hostname</i>:<i>port</i>
<b>inet</b>:[<i>address</i>]
<b>inet</b>:[<i>address</i>]:<i>port</i>
Connect to the specified TCP port on the specified local or
remote host. If no port is specified, connect to the port
defined as <b>lmtp</b> in <b>services</b>(4). If no such service is found,
the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#lmtp_tcp_port">lmtp_tcp_port</a></b> configuration parameter (default value of 24)
will be used. An IPv6 address must be formatted as
[<b>ipv6</b>:<i>address</i>].
<b>SINGLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY</b>
By default, the Postfix SMTP+LMTP client delivers mail to multiple
recipients per delivery request. This is undesirable when prepending a
<b>Delivered-to:</b> or <b>X-Original-To:</b> message header. To prevent Postfix from
sending multiple recipients per delivery request, specify
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#transport_destination_recipient_limit"><i>transport</i>_destination_recipient_limit</a> = 1</b>
in the Postfix <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file, where <i>transport</i> is the name in the first
column of the Postfix <a href="master.5.html"><b>master.cf</b></a> entry for this mail delivery service.
<b>COMMAND ATTRIBUTE SYNTAX</b>
<b>flags=DORX</b> (optional)
Optional message processing flags.
<b>D</b> Prepend a "<b>Delivered-To:</b> <i>recipient</i>" message header with
the envelope recipient address. Note: for this to work,
the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#transport_destination_recipient_limit"><i>transport</i>_destination_recipient_limit</a></b> must be 1 (see
SINGLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY above for details).
The <b>D</b> flag also enforces loop detection: if a message
already contains a <b>Delivered-To:</b> header with the same
recipient address, then the message is returned as unde-
liverable. The address comparison is case insensitive.
This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5.
<b>O</b> Prepend an "<b>X-Original-To:</b> <i>recipient</i>" message header with
the recipient address as given to Postfix. Note: for this
to work, the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#transport_destination_recipient_limit"><i>transport</i>_destination_recipient_limit</a></b> must
be 1 (see SINGLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY above for details).
This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5.
<b>R</b> Prepend a "<b>Return-Path:</b> <<i>sender</i>>" message header with the
envelope sender address.
This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5.
<b>X</b> Indicates that the delivery is final. This flag affects
the status reported in "success" DSN (delivery status
notification) messages, and changes it from "relayed"
into "delivered".
This feature is available as of Postfix 3.5.
<b>SECURITY</b>
The SMTP+LMTP client is moderately security-sensitive. It
talks to SMTP or LMTP servers and to DNS servers on the
network. The SMTP+LMTP client 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>.
Corrupted message files are marked so that the queue manager can move
them to the <b>corrupt</b> queue for further inspection.
Depending on the setting of the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#notify_classes">notify_classes</a></b> parameter, the postmas-
ter is notified of bounces, protocol problems, and of other trouble.
<b>BUGS</b>
SMTP and LMTP connection reuse for TLS (without closing the SMTP or
LMTP connection) is not supported before Postfix 3.4.
SMTP and LMTP connection reuse assumes that SASL credentials are valid
for all destinations that map onto the same IP address and TCP port.
<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
Before Postfix version 2.3, the LMTP client is a separate program that
implements only a subset of the functionality available with SMTP:
there is no support for TLS, and connections are cached in-process,
making it ineffective when the client is used for multiple domains.
Most smtp_<i>xxx</i> configuration parameters have an lmtp_<i>xxx</i> "mirror" param-
eter for the equivalent LMTP feature. This document describes only
those LMTP-related parameters that aren't simply "mirror" parameters.
