NAME
       smtpd - Postfix SMTP server

SYNOPSIS
       smtpd [generic Postfix daemon options]

       sendmail -bs

DESCRIPTION
       The  SMTP  server accepts network connection requests and performs zero
       or more SMTP transactions per connection.   Each  received  message  is
       piped  through  the  cleanup(8) daemon, and is placed into the incoming
       queue as one single queue file.  For this mode of operation,  the  pro-
       gram expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.

       Alternatively,  the SMTP server be can run in stand-alone mode; this is
       traditionally obtained with "sendmail -bs".  When the SMTP server  runs
       stand-alone  with  non  $mail_owner  privileges,  it receives mail even
       while the mail system is not running, deposits messages  directly  into
       the  maildrop queue, and disables the SMTP server's access policies. As
       of Postfix version 2.3, the SMTP server refuses to  receive  mail  from
       the network when it runs with non $mail_owner privileges.

       The  SMTP  server  implements  a  variety  of  policies  for connection
       requests, and for parameters given to HELO, ETRN, MAIL FROM,  VRFY  and
       RCPT TO commands. They are detailed below and in the main.cf configura-
       tion file.

SECURITY
       The SMTP server is moderately  security-sensitive.  It  talks  to  SMTP
       clients  and  to DNS servers on the network. The SMTP server can be run
       chrooted at fixed low privilege.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8) or postlogd(8).

       Depending on the setting of the notify_classes parameter, the  postmas-
       ter  is  notified of bounces, protocol problems, policy violations, and
       of other trouble.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
       Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically, as  smtpd(8)  processes
       run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "postfix reload"
       to speed up a change.

       incoming mail to a real-time SMTP-based content filter BEFORE  mail  is
       queued.  This content filter is expected to inject mail back into Post-
       fix.  See the SMTPD_PROXY_README document for details on how to config-

       filter)  protocol.  These content filters run outside Postfix. They can
       inspect the SMTP command  stream  and  the  message  content,  and  can
       request  modifications  before mail is queued. For details see the MIL-

TARPIT CONTROLS
       When a remote SMTP client makes errors, the  Postfix  SMTP  server  can
       insert  delays  before  responding. This can help to slow down run-away
       software.  The behavior is controlled by an error counter  that  counts
       the number of errors within an SMTP session that a client makes without
       delivering mail.

       smtpd_error_sleep_time (1s)
              With Postfix version 2.1 and later:  the  SMTP  server  response
              delay  after a client has made more than $smtpd_soft_error_limit
              errors, and fewer than $smtpd_hard_error_limit  errors,  without
              delivering mail.

       smtpd_hard_error_limit (normal: 20, overload: 1)
              The  maximal number of errors a remote SMTP client is allowed to
              make without delivering mail.

       smtpd_junk_command_limit (normal: 100, overload: 1)
              The number of junk commands (NOOP, VRFY, ETRN or  RSET)  that  a
              remote  SMTP  client  can  send  before  the Postfix SMTP server
              starts to increment the error counter with each junk command.

       Available in Postfix version 2.1 and later:

       smtpd_recipient_overshoot_limit (1000)
              The number of recipients that a remote SMTP client can  send  in

              before the Postfix SMTP server increments the per-session  error
              count for each excess recipient.

ACCESS POLICY DELEGATION CONTROLS
       As  of version 2.1, Postfix can be configured to delegate access policy

SENDER AND RECIPIENT ADDRESS VERIFICATION CONTROLS
       Postfix version 2.1 introduces sender and recipient  address  verifica-
       tion.  This feature is implemented by sending probe email messages that
       are  not  actually  delivered.   This  feature  is  requested  via  the
       reject_unverified_sender    and    reject_unverified_recipient   access
       restrictions.  The status of verification probes is maintained  by  the
