SENDMAIL(1)                                                        SENDMAIL(1)

<b>NAME</b>
       sendmail - Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface

<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
       <b>sendmail</b> [<i>option ...</i>] [<i>recipient ...</i>]

       <b>mailq</b>
       <b>sendmail -bp</b>

       <b>newaliases</b>
       <b>sendmail -I</b>

<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
       The Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> command implements the Postfix to Sendmail com-
       patibility interface.  For the  sake  of  compatibility  with  existing
       applications,  some  Sendmail  command-line  options are recognized but
       silently ignored.

       By default, Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> reads a  message  from  standard  input
       until  EOF  or  until  it  reads  a  line  with only a <b>.</b> character, and
       arranges for delivery.  Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> relies on  the  <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a>
       command to create a queue file in the <b>maildrop</b> directory.

       Specific  command aliases are provided for other common modes of opera-
       tion:

       <b>mailq</b>  List the mail queue. Each entry shows the queue file ID, message
              size,  arrival  time, sender, and the recipients that still need
              to be delivered.  If mail could not be delivered upon  the  last
              attempt, the reason for failure is shown. The queue ID string is
              followed by an optional status character:

              <b>*</b>      The message is in the <b>active</b> queue, i.e. the  message  is
                     selected for delivery.

              <b>!</b>      The  message is in the <b>hold</b> queue, i.e. no further deliv-
                     ery attempt will be made until  the  mail  is  taken  off
                     hold.

              <b>#</b>      The  message  is  forced  to expire. See the <a href="postsuper.1.html"><b>postsuper</b>(1)</a>
                     options <b>-e</b> or <b>-f</b>.

              This  mode  of  operation  is  implemented  by   executing   the
              <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command.

       <b>newaliases</b>
              Initialize  the  alias  database.  If no input file is specified
              (with the <b>-oA</b> option, see  below),  the  program  processes  the
              file(s)  specified with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#alias_database">alias_database</a></b> configuration parame-
              ter.  If no alias database type is specified, the  program  uses
              the  type specified with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#default_database_type">default_database_type</a></b> configuration
              parameter.  This mode of operation is implemented by running the
              <a href="postalias.1.html"><b>postalias</b>(1)</a> command.

              Note: it may take a minute or so before an alias database update
              becomes visible. Use the "<b>postfix reload</b>" command  to  eliminate
              this delay.

       These  and other features can be selected by specifying the appropriate
       combination of command-line options. Some features  are  controlled  by
       parameters in the <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file.

       The following options are recognized:

       <b>-Am</b> (ignored)

       <b>-Ac</b> (ignored)
              Postfix  sendmail uses the same configuration file regardless of
              whether or not a message is an initial submission.

       <b>-B</b> <i>body</i><b>_</b><i>type</i>
              The message body MIME type: <b>7BIT</b> or <b>8BITMIME</b>.

       <b>-bd</b>    Go into daemon mode. This mode of operation  is  implemented  by
              executing the "<b>postfix start</b>" command.

       <b>-bh</b> (ignored)

       <b>-bH</b> (ignored)
              Postfix has no persistent host status database.

       <b>-bi</b>    Initialize alias database. See the <b>newaliases</b> command above.

       <b>-bl</b>    Go  into  daemon  mode. To accept only local connections as with
              Sendmail's <b>-bl</b> option, specify "<b><a href="postconf.5.html#inet_interfaces">inet_interfaces</a> =  loopback</b>"  in
              the Postfix <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file.

       <b>-bm</b>    Read mail from standard input and arrange for delivery.  This is
              the default mode of operation.

       <b>-bp</b>    List the mail queue. See the <b>mailq</b> command above.

       <b>-bs</b>    Stand-alone SMTP server mode. Read SMTP commands  from  standard
              input,  and  write responses to standard output.  In stand-alone
              SMTP server mode, mail relaying and other  access  controls  are
              disabled  by  default.  To  enable  them, run the process as the
              <b><a href="postconf.5.html#mail_owner">mail_owner</a></b> user.

              This mode of operation is implemented by  running  the  <a href="smtpd.8.html"><b>smtpd</b>(8)</a>
              daemon.

       <b>-bv</b>    Do  not  collect  or  deliver  a message. Instead, send an email
              report after verifying each recipient address.  This  is  useful
              for testing address rewriting and routing configurations.

              This feature is available in Postfix version 2.1 and later.

       <b>-C</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>file</i>

       <b>-C</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
              The  path  name  of  the  Postfix <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file, or of its parent
              directory. This information is  ignored  with  Postfix  versions
              before 2.3.

              With Postfix version 3.2 and later, a non-default directory must
              be authorized in the default <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file,  through  the  alter-
              nate_config_directories  or  <a href="postconf.5.html#multi_instance_directories">multi_instance_directories</a>  parame-
              ters.

              With all Postfix versions, you can specify a directory  pathname
              with  the MAIL_CONFIG environment variable to override the loca-
              tion of configuration files.

       <b>-F</b> <i>full</i><b>_</b><i>name</i>
              Set the sender full name. This overrides  the  NAME  environment
              variable, and is used only with messages that have no <b>From:</b> mes-
              sage header.

       <b>-f</b> <i>sender</i>
              Set the envelope sender  address.  This  is  the  address  where
              delivery problems are sent to. With Postfix versions before 2.1,
              the  <b>Errors-To:</b>  message  header  overrides  the  error   return
              address.

       <b>-G</b>     Gateway  (relay)  submission, as opposed to initial user submis-
              sion.  Either do not rewrite addresses at all, or update  incom-
              plete  addresses  with  the  domain  information  specified with
              <b><a href="postconf.5.html#remote_header_rewrite_domain">remote_header_rewrite_domain</a></b>.

              This option is ignored before Postfix version 2.3.

       <b>-h</b> <i>hop</i><b>_</b><i>count</i> (ignored)
              Hop count limit. Use the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#hopcount_limit">hopcount_limit</a></b> configuration  parameter
              instead.

       <b>-I</b>     Initialize alias database. See the <b>newaliases</b> command above.

       <b>-i</b>     When  reading  a message from standard input, don't treat a line
              with only a <b>.</b> character as the end of input.

       <b>-L</b> <i>label</i> (ignored)
              The logging label. Use the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#syslog_name">syslog_name</a></b>  configuration  parameter
              instead.

       <b>-m</b> (ignored)
              Backwards compatibility.

       <b>-N</b> <i>dsn</i> (default: 'delay, failure')
              Delivery   status   notification   control.   Specify  either  a
              comma-separated list with one or more of <b>failure</b> (send notifica-
              tion  when delivery fails), <b>delay</b> (send notification when deliv-
              ery is delayed), or <b>success</b> (send notification when the  message
              is delivered); or specify <b>never</b> (don't send any notifications at
              all).

              This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.

       <b>-n</b> (ignored)
              Backwards compatibility.

       <b>-oA</b><i>alias</i><b>_</b><i>database</i>
              Non-default alias database. Specify <i>pathname</i>  or  <i>type</i>:<i>pathname</i>.
              See <a href="postalias.1.html"><b>postalias</b>(1)</a> for details.

       <b>-O</b> <i>option=value</i> (ignored)
              Set  the named <i>option</i> to <i>value</i>. Use the equivalent configuration
              parameter in <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> instead.

       <b>-o7</b> (ignored)

       <b>-o8</b> (ignored)
              To send 8-bit or binary content, use an appropriate MIME  encap-
              sulation and specify the appropriate <b>-B</b> command-line option.

       <b>-oi</b>    When  reading  a message from standard input, don't treat a line
              with only a <b>.</b> character as the end of input.

       <b>-om</b> (ignored)
              The sender is never eliminated from alias etc. expansions.

       <b>-o</b> <i>x value</i> (ignored)
              Set option <i>x</i> to <i>value</i>. Use the equivalent configuration  parame-
              ter in <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> instead.

       <b>-r</b> <i>sender</i>
              Set  the  envelope  sender  address.  This  is the address where
              delivery problems are sent to. With Postfix versions before 2.1,
              the   <b>Errors-To:</b>  message  header  overrides  the  error  return
              address.

       <b>-R</b> <i>return</i>
              Delivery status notification control.  Specify "hdrs" to  return
              only  the header when a message bounces, "full" to return a full
              copy (the default behavior).

              The <b>-R</b> option specifies an upper bound; Postfix will return only
              the  header, when a full copy would exceed the <a href="postconf.5.html#bounce_size_limit">bounce_size_limit</a>
              setting.

              This option is ignored before Postfix version 2.10.

       <b>-q</b>     Attempt to deliver all queued mail. This is implemented by  exe-
              cuting the <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command.

              Warning:  flushing  undeliverable mail frequently will result in
              poor delivery performance of all other mail.

       <b>-q</b><i>interval</i> (ignored)
              The interval between queue runs. Use the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#queue_run_delay">queue_run_delay</a></b> config-
              uration parameter instead.

       <b>-qI</b><i>queueid</i>
              Schedule immediate delivery of mail with the specified queue ID.
              This option is implemented by executing  the  <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a>  com-
              mand, and is available with Postfix version 2.4 and later.

       <b>-qR</b><i>site</i>
              Schedule  immediate  delivery of all mail that is queued for the
              named <i>site</i>. This option accepts only <i>site</i> names that are  eligi-
              ble  for the "fast flush" service, and is implemented by execut-
              ing the <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command.  See <a href="flush.8.html"><b>flush</b>(8)</a> for more information
              about the "fast flush" service.

       <b>-qS</b><i>site</i>
              This  command  is  not implemented. Use the slower "<b>sendmail -q</b>"
              command instead.

       <b>-t</b>     Extract recipients from message headers. These are added to  any
              recipients specified on the command line.

              With Postfix versions prior to 2.1, this option requires that no
              recipient addresses are specified on the command line.

       <b>-U</b> (ignored)
              Initial user submission.

       <b>-V</b> <i>envid</i>
              Specify the envelope ID for notification by servers that support
              DSN.

              This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.

       <b>-XV</b> (Postfix 2.2 and earlier: <b>-V</b>)
              Variable  Envelope Return Path. Given an envelope sender address
              of the form <i>owner-listname</i>@<i>origin</i>,  each  recipient  <i>user</i>@<i>domain</i>
              receives mail with a personalized envelope sender address.

              By   default,   the  personalized  envelope  sender  address  is
              <i>owner-listname</i><b>+</b><i>user</i><b>=</b><i>domain</i>@<i>origin</i>. The default <b>+</b> and  <b>=</b>  charac-
              ters  are configurable with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#default_verp_delimiters">default_verp_delimiters</a></b> configu-
              ration parameter.

       <b>-XV</b><i>xy</i> (Postfix 2.2 and earlier: <b>-V</b><i>xy</i>)
              As <b>-XV</b>, but uses <i>x</i> and  <i>y</i>  as  the  VERP  delimiter  characters,
              instead of the characters specified with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#default_verp_delimiters">default_verp_delim</a>-</b>
              <b><a href="postconf.5.html#default_verp_delimiters">iters</a></b> configuration parameter.

       <b>-v</b>     Send an email report of the first delivery attempt (Postfix ver-
              sions  2.1 and later). Mail delivery always happens in the back-
              ground. When multiple <b>-v</b> options are given, enable verbose  log-
              ging for debugging purposes.

       <b>-X</b> <i>log</i><b>_</b><i>file</i> (ignored)
              Log mailer traffic. Use the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#debug_peer_list">debug_peer_list</a></b> and <b><a href="postconf.5.html#debug_peer_level">debug_peer_level</a></b>
              configuration parameters instead.

<b>SECURITY</b>
       By design, this program is not set-user (or group) id.  It is  prepared
       to handle message content from untrusted, possibly remote, users.

       However,  like  most  Postfix programs, this program does not enforce a
       security policy on its command-line arguments.  Instead, it  relies  on
       the  UNIX system to enforce access policies based on the effective user
       and group IDs of the process. Concretely, this means that running Post-
       fix  commands as root (from sudo or equivalent) on behalf of a non-root
       user is likely to create privilege escalation opportunities.

       If an application runs any Postfix programs on behalf of users that  do
       not have normal shell access to Postfix commands, then that application
       MUST restrict user-specified command-line arguments to avoid  privilege
       escalation.

       <b>o</b>      Filter  all  command-line  arguments, for example arguments that
              contain a pathname or that specify  a  database  access  method.
              These  pathname  checks  must reject user-controlled symlinks or
              hardlinks to sensitive files, and must not be vulnerable to TOC-
              TOU race attacks.

       <b>o</b>      Disable  command  options  processing  for all command arguments
              that contain user-specified data. For example, the Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>send-</b></a>
              <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>mail</b>(1)</a> command line MUST be structured as follows:

                  <b>/path/to/sendmail</b> <i>system-arguments</i> <b>--</b> <i>user-arguments</i>

              Here,  the  "<b>--</b>"  disables  command  option  processing  for all
              <i>user-arguments</i> that follow.

              Without the "<b>--</b>", a malicious user could  enable  Postfix  <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>send-</b></a>
              <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>mail</b>(1)</a>  command  options,  by  specifying an email address that
              starts with "<b>-</b>".

<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
       Problems are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a>, and to  the  standard
       error stream.
