    Postfix SMTP+LMTP client
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    smtp [generic Postfix daemon options]
    
     

    DESCRIPTION

    The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client implements the SMTP and LMTP mail delivery protocols. It processes message delivery requests from the queue manager. 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 master(8) 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 bounce(8), defer(8) or trace(8) 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 scache(8) 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 active queue. Session caching can be enabled permanently for specific destinations.  

    SMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX

    
    
    SMTP destinations have the following form:
    
    domainname
    domainname:port
    Look up the mail exchangers for the specified domain, and connect to the specified port (default: smtp).
    [hostname]
    [hostname]:port
    Look up the address(es) of the specified host, and connect to the specified port (default: smtp).
    [address]
    [address]:port
    Connect to the host at the specified address, and connect to the specified port (default: smtp). An IPv6 address must be formatted as [ipv6:address].
     

    LMTP DESTINATION SYNTAX

    
    
    LMTP destinations have the following form:
    
    unix:pathname
    Connect to the local UNIX-domain server that is bound to the specified pathname. If the process runs chrooted, an absolute pathname is interpreted relative to the Postfix queue directory.
    inet:hostname
    inet:hostname:port
    inet:[address]
    inet:[address]:port
    Connect to the specified TCP port on the specified local or remote host. If no port is specified, connect to the port defined as lmtp in services(4). If no such service is found, the lmtp_tcp_port configuration parameter (default value of 24) will be used. An IPv6 address must be formatted as [ipv6:address].

     

    SECURITY

    
    
    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.

    DIAGNOSTICS

    Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8). Corrupted message files are marked so that the queue manager can move them to the corrupt queue for further inspection.

    Depending on the setting of the notify_classes parameter, the postmaster is notified of bounces, protocol problems, and of other trouble.  

    BUGS

    SMTP and LMTP connection caching does not work with TLS. The necessary support for TLS object passivation and re-activation does not exist without closing the session, which defeats the purpose.

    SMTP and LMTP connection caching assumes that SASL credentials are valid for all destinations that map onto the same IP address and TCP port.  

    CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

    
    
    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_xxx configuration parameters have an lmtp_xxx "ghost" parameter for the equivalent LMTP feature. This document describes only those LMTP-related parameters that aren't simply "ghost" parameters.

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

    The text below provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details including examples.
