    Our first use case ignores the "memberdn" attributes, and assumes -that groups hold only direct "memberaddr" strings as in (3), (4), (8) and -(9). The goal is to map the group address to the list of constituent -"memberaddr" values. This is simple, ignoring the various connection -related settings (hosts, ports, bind settings, timeouts, ...) we have: -

    - -
    -
    -    simple.cf:
    -        ...
    -        search_base = dc=example, dc=com
    -        query_filter = mail=%s
    -        result_attribute = memberaddr
    -    $ postmap -q agroup@example.com ldap:simple.cf
    -    auser@example.org,buser@example.org
    -
    -
    - -

    We search "dc=example, dc=com". The "mail" attribute is used in the -query_filter to locate the right group, the "result_attribute" setting -described in ldap_table(5) is used to specify that "memberaddr" values -from the matching group are to be returned as a comma separated list. -Always check tables using postmap(1) with the "-q" option, before -deploying them into production use in main.cf.

    - -

    Our second use case instead expands "memberdn" attributes (1), (2), -(6) and (7), follows the DN references and returns the "maildrop" of the -referenced user entries. Here we use the "special_result_attribute" -setting from ldap_table(5) to designate the "memberdn" attribute -as holding DNs of the desired member entries. The "result_attribute" -setting selects which attributes are returned from the selected DNs. It -is important to choose a result attribute that is not also present in -the group object, because result attributes are collected from both -the group and the member DNs. In this case we choose "maildrop" and -assume for the moment that groups never have a "maildrop" (the "bgroup" -"maildrop" attribute is for a different use case). The returned data for -"auser" and "buser" is from items (11) and (13) in the example data.

    - -
    -
    -    special.cf:
    -        ...
    -        search_base = dc=example, dc=com
    -        query_filter = mail=%s
    -        result_attribute = maildrop
    -        special_result_attribute = memberdn
    -    $ postmap -q agroup@example.com ldap:special.cf
    -    auser@mailhub.example.com,buser@mailhub.example.com
    -
    -
    - -

    Note: if the desired member object result attribute is always also -present in the group, you get surprising results: the expansion also -returns the address of the group. This is a known limitation of Postfix -releases prior to 2.4, and is addressed in the new with Postfix 2.4 -"leaf_result_attribute" feature described in ldap_table(5).

    - -

    Our third use case has some groups that are expanded immediately, -and other groups that are forwarded to a dedicated mailing list manager -host for delayed expansion. This uses two LDAP tables, one for users -and forwarded groups and a second for groups that can be expanded -immediately. It is assumed that groups that require forwarding are -never nested members of groups that are directly expanded.

    - -
    -
    -    no_expand.cf:
    -        ...
    -        search_base = dc=example, dc=com
    -        query_filter = mail=%s
    -        result_attribute = maildrop
    -    expand.cf
    -        ...
    -        search_base = dc=example, dc=com
    -        query_filter = mail=%s
    -        result_attribute = maildrop
    -        special_result_attribute = memberdn
    -    $ postmap -q auser@example.com ldap:no_expand.cf ldap:expand.cf
    -    auser@mailhub.example.com
    -    $ postmap -q agroup@example.com ldap:no_expand.cf ldap:expand.cf
    -    auser@mailhub.example.com,buser@mailhub.example.com
    -    $ postmap -q bgroup@example.com ldap:no_expand.cf ldap:expand.cf
    -    bgroup@mlm.example.com
    -
    -
    - -

    Non-group objects and groups with delayed expansion (those that have a -maildrop attribute) are rewritten to a single maildrop value. Groups that -don't have a maildrop are expanded as the second use case. This admits -a more elegant solution with Postfix 2.4 and later.

    - -

    Our final use case is the same as the third, but this time uses new -features in Postfix 2.4. We now are able to use just one LDAP table and -no longer need to assume that forwarded groups are never nested inside -expanded groups.

    - -
    -
    -    fancy.cf:
    -        ...
    -        search_base = dc=example, dc=com
    -        query_filter = mail=%s
    -        result_attribute = memberaddr
    -        special_result_attribute = memberdn
    -        terminal_result_attribute = maildrop
    -        leaf_result_attribute = mail
    -    $ postmap -q auser@example.com ldap:fancy.cf
    -    auser@mailhub.example.com
    -    $ postmap -q cuser@example.com ldap:fancy.cf
    -    cuser@example.com
    -    $ postmap -q agroup@example.com ldap:fancy.cf
    -    auser@mailhub.example.com,buser@mailhub.example.com,auser@example.org,buser@example.org
    -    $ postmap -q bgroup@example.com ldap:fancy.cf
    -    bgroup@mlm.example.com
    -
    -
    - -

    Above, delayed expansion is enabled via "terminal_result_attribute", -which, if present, is used as the sole result and all other expansion is -suppressed. Otherwise, the "leaf_result_attribute" is only returned for -leaf objects that don't have a "special_result_attribute" (non-groups), -while the "result_attribute" (direct member address of groups) is returned -at every level of recursive expansion, not just the leaf nodes. This fancy -example illustrates all the features of Postfix 2.4 group expansion.

    Other uses of LDAP lookups

    Other common uses for LDAP lookups include rewriting senders and recipients with Postfix's canonical lookups, for example in order to make mail leaving your site appear to be coming from -"First.Last@example.com" instead of "userid@example.com". +"First.Last@site.dom" instead of "userid@site.dom".

    Postfix on Ultrix

    + +

    This document is probably only of historical value, because +Ultrix version 4 dates from the early 1990s. However, as long as +Wietse keeps Postfix alive for SunOS 4, it is likely to run on +Ultrix 4 with very little change. Feedback is welcome if anyone +actually still uses Postfix on any version of Ultrix.

    + +

    The source of this document is an email message by Christian von Roques +that was sent on Jun 2, 1999.

    + +
    + +

    I've upgraded the MTA of our DECstation-3100 running Ultrix4.3a to +postfix-19990317-pl05 and am sending you the patches I needed to get +it running under Ultrix.

    + +

    . . .

    + +

    One of the bugs of Ultrix's /bin/sh is that shell-variables +set in arguments of `:' expand to garbage if expanded in here-documents. +Using a different shell helps. I needed to replace all calls of +``sh .../makedefs'' by ``$(SHELL) .../makedefs'' in all the +Makefile.in and am now able to use ``make SHELL=/bin/sh5'' or zsh. + +

    . . .

    + +

    Ultrix's FD_SET_SIZE is 4096, but getdtablesize() +returns 64 by default, if not increased when building a new +kernel. getrlimit() doesn't know RLIMIT_NOFILE. This makes +event_init() always log the warning: `could allocate space for +only 64 open files'.

    + +

    I just reduced the threshold from 256 to 64, but this is not good. +The initial problem still remains: How to disable this warning on +Ultrix without making the source ugly?

    + +
    + +

    To work around the first problem, all the Makefile.in files +have been updated to use `$(SHELL)' instead of `sh'. So you only +need to supply a non-default shell in order to eliminate Ultrix +shell trouble.

    + +

    To work around the latter, util/sys_defs.h was updated for +Ultrix, with a default FD_SETSIZE of 100. This should be sufficient +for a workstation. Even in 1999, no-one would run a major mail hub +on Ultrix 4.

    -NAME
    -       bounce - Postfix delivery status reports
    -
    -SYNOPSIS
    -       bounce [generic Postfix daemon options]
    -
    -DESCRIPTION
    -       The  bounce(8) daemon maintains per-message log files with
    -       delivery status information. Each log file is named  after
    -       the  queue  file  that it corresponds to, and is kept in a
    -       queue subdirectory named after the  service  name  in  the
    -       master.cf file (either bounce, defer or trace).  This pro-
    -       gram expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.
    -
    -       The  bounce(8)  daemon  processes  two  types  of  service
    -       requests:
    -
    -       o      Append a recipient (non-)delivery status record  to
    -              a per-message log file.
    -
    -       o      Enqueue  a  delivery  status  notification message,
    -              with a copy of a per-message log file  and  of  the
    -              corresponding  message.   When  the delivery status
    -              notification message is enqueued successfully,  the
    -              per-message log file is deleted.
    -
    -       The software does a best notification effort. A non-deliv-
    -       ery notification is sent even when the  log  file  or  the
    -       original message cannot be read.
    -
    -       Optionally,  a  bounce  (defer,  trace) client can request
    -       that  the  per-message  log  file  be  deleted  when   the
    -       requested  operation  fails.  This is used by clients that
    -       cannot retry transactions by themselves, and  that  depend
    -       on retry logic in their own client.

    -NAME
    -       smtp - 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.  Connection  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, con-
    -              nect to the port defined as  lmtp  in  services(4).
    -              If no such service is found, the lmtp_tcp_port con-
    -              figuration 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.
    -
    -STANDARDS
    -       RFC 821 (SMTP protocol)
    -       RFC 822 (ARPA Internet Text Messages)
    -       RFC 1651 (SMTP service extensions)
    -       RFC 1652 (8bit-MIME transport)
    -       RFC 1870 (Message Size Declaration)
    -       RFC 2033 (LMTP protocol)
    -       RFC 2034 (SMTP Enhanced Error Codes)
    -       RFC 2045 (MIME: Format of Internet Message Bodies)
    -       RFC 2046 (MIME: Media Types)
    -       RFC 2554 (AUTH command)
    -       RFC 2821 (SMTP protocol)

    -       RFC 3461 (SMTP DSN Extension)
    -       RFC 3463 (Enhanced Status Codes)
    -
    -DIAGNOSTICS
    -       Problems  and transactions are logged to syslogd(8).  Cor-
    -       rupted 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 creden-
    -       tials 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 con-
    -       nections are cached in-process, making it ineffective when
    -       the client is used for multiple domains.
    -
    -       Most  smtp_xxx  configuration  parameters have an lmtp_xxx
    -       "mirror" parameter for the equivalent LMTP  feature.  This
    -       document describes only those LMTP-related parameters that
    -       aren't simply "mirror" 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.

    -DESCRIPTION
    -       The  Postfix sendmail(1) command implements the Postfix to
    -       Sendmail compatibility interface.  For the sake of compat-
    -       ibility with existing applications, some Sendmail command-
    -       line options are recognized but silently ignored.
    -
    -       By default, Postfix sendmail(1) reads a message from stan-
    -       dard  input until EOF or until it reads a line with only a
    -       . character, and arranges  for  delivery.   Postfix  send-
    -       mail(1)  relies  on  the  postdrop(1)  command to create a
    -       queue file in the maildrop directory.
    -
    -       Specific command aliases are  provided  for  other  common
    -       modes of operation:
    -
    -       mailq  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. This mode of oper-
    -              ation is implemented by executing the  postqueue(1)
    -              command.
    -
    -       newaliases
    -              Initialize the alias database.  If no input file is
    -              specified (with the -oA  option,  see  below),  the
    -              program  processes  the  file(s) specified with the
    -              alias_database  configuration  parameter.   If   no
    -              alias  database type is specified, the program uses
    -              the type specified with  the  default_database_type
    -              configuration parameter.  This mode of operation is
    -              implemented by running the postalias(1) command.
    -
    -              Note: it may take a minute or so  before  an  alias
    -              database  update  becomes visible. Use the "postfix
    -              reload" command to eliminate this delay.
    -
    -       These and other features can be selected by specifying the
    -       appropriate combination of command-line options. Some fea-
    -       tures are controlled by parameters in the main.cf configu-
    -       ration file.
    -
    -       The following options are recognized:
    -
    -       -Am (ignored)
    -
    -       -Ac (ignored)
    -              Postfix  sendmail  uses the same configuration file
    -              regardless of whether or not a message is  an  ini-
    -              tial submission.
    -
    -       -B body_type
    -              The message body MIME type: 7BIT or 8BITMIME.
    -
    -       -bd    Go  into  daemon  mode.  This  mode of operation is
    -              implemented by executing the "postfix  start"  com-
    -              mand.
    -
    -       -bh (ignored)
    -
    -       -bH (ignored)
    -              Postfix has no persistent host status database.
    -
    -       -bi    Initialize  alias database. See the newaliases com-
    -              mand above.
    -
    -       -bm    Read mail  from  standard  input  and  arrange  for
    -              delivery.  This is the default mode of operation.
    -
    -       -bp    List the mail queue. See the mailq command above.
    -
    -       -bs    Stand-alone  SMTP  server  mode. Read SMTP commands
    -              from standard input, and write responses  to  stan-
    -              dard 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
    -              mail_owner user.
    -
    -              This mode of operation is  implemented  by  running
    -              the smtpd(8) daemon.
    -
    -       -bv    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.
    -
    -       -C config_file
    -
    -       -C config_dir
    -              The  path  name  of the Postfix main.cf file, or of
    -              its parent directory. This information  is  ignored
    -              with Postfix versions before 2.3.
    -
    -              With all Postfix versions, you can specify a direc-
    -              tory  pathname  with  the  MAIL_CONFIG  environment
    -              variable  to override the location of configuration
    -              files.
    -
    -       -F full_name
    -              Set the sender full name. This overrides  the  NAME
    -              environment  variable,  and  is used only with mes-
    -              sages that have no From: message header.
    -
    -       -f sender
    -              Set  the  envelope  sender  address.  This  is  the
    -              address  where  delivery problems are sent to. With
    -              Postfix versions before 2.1, the Errors-To: message
    -              header overrides the error return address.
    -
    -       -G     Gateway  (relay)  submission, as opposed to initial
    -              user submission.  Either do not  rewrite  addresses
    -              at  all,  or  update  incomplete addresses with the
    -              domain information specified with remote_header_re-
    -              write_domain.
    -
    -              This  option is ignored before Postfix version 2.3.
    -
    -       -h hop_count (ignored)
    -              Hop count limit. Use the hopcount_limit  configura-
    -              tion parameter instead.
    -
    -       -I     Initialize  alias database. See the newaliases com-
    -              mand above.
    -
    -       -i     When reading a message from standard  input,  don't
    -              treat  a line with only a . character as the end of
    -              input.
    -
    -       -L label (ignored)
    -              The logging label. Use the  syslog_name  configura-
    -              tion parameter instead.
    -
    -       -m (ignored)
    -              Backwards compatibility.
    -
    -       -N dsn (default: 'delay, failure')
    -              Delivery   status   notification  control.  Specify
    -              either a comma-separated list with one or  more  of
    -              failure  (send  notification  when delivery fails),
    -              delay (send notification when delivery is delayed),
    -              or  success  (send notification when the message is
    -              delivered); or specify never (don't send any  noti-
    -              fications at all).
    -
    -              This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
    -
    -       -n (ignored)
    -              Backwards compatibility.
    -
    -       -oAalias_database
    -              Non-default alias  database.  Specify  pathname  or
    -              type:pathname. See postalias(1) for details.
    -
    -       -O option=value (ignored)
    -              Backwards compatibility.
    -
    -       -o7 (ignored)
    -
    -       -o8 (ignored)
    -              To send 8-bit or binary content, use an appropriate
    -              MIME encapsulation and specify the  appropriate  -B
    -              command-line option.
    -
    -       -oi    When  reading  a message from standard input, don't
    -              treat a line with only a . character as the end  of
    -              input.
    -
    -       -om (ignored)
    -              The  sender  is  never  eliminated  from alias etc.
    -              expansions.
    -
    -       -o x value (ignored)
    -              Set option x to value. Use the equivalent  configu-
    -              ration parameter in main.cf instead.
    -
    -       -r sender
    -              Set  the  envelope  sender  address.  This  is  the
    -              address where delivery problems are sent  to.  With
    -              Postfix versions before 2.1, the Errors-To: message
    -              header overrides the error return address.
    -
    -       -R return_limit (ignored)
    -              Limit  the  size   of   bounced   mail.   Use   the
    -              bounce_size_limit  configuration parameter instead.
    -
    -       -q     Attempt to deliver all queued mail. This is  imple-
    -              mented by executing the postqueue(1) command.
    -
    -              Warning:  flushing  undeliverable  mail  frequently
    -              will result in poor  delivery  performance  of  all
    -              other mail.
    -
    -       -qinterval (ignored)
    -              The   interval   between   queue   runs.   Use  the
    -              queue_run_delay configuration parameter instead.
    -
    -       -qIqueueid
    -              Schedule immediate delivery of mail with the speci-
    -              fied  queue ID.  This option is implemented by exe-
    -              cuting the postqueue(1) command, and  is  available
    -              with Postfix version 2.4 and later.
    -
    -       -qRsite
    -              Schedule  immediate  delivery  of  all mail that is
    -              queued for the named site. This option accepts only
    -              site  names  that are eligible for the "fast flush"
    -              service,  and  is  implemented  by  executing   the
    -              postqueue(1) command.  See flush(8) for more infor-
    -              mation about the "fast flush" service.
    -
    -       -qSsite
    -              This command is not  implemented.  Use  the  slower
    -              "sendmail -q" command instead.
    -
    -       -t     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.
    -
    -       -U (ignored)
    -              Initial user submission.
    -
    -       -V envid
    -              Specify the envelope ID for notification by servers
    -              that support DSN.
    -
    -              This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
    -
    -       -XV (Postfix 2.2 and earlier: -V)
    -              Variable  Envelope  Return  Path. Given an envelope
    -              sender address of the  form  owner-listname@origin,
    -              each  recipient  user@domain  receives  mail with a
    -              personalized envelope sender address.
    -
    -              By  default,  the  personalized   envelope   sender
    -              address  is  owner-listname+user=domain@origin. The
    -              default + and = characters  are  configurable  with
    -              the  default_verp_delimiters  configuration parame-
    -              ter.
    -
    -       -XVxy (Postfix 2.2 and earlier: -Vxy)
    -              As -XV, but uses x and  y  as  the  VERP  delimiter
    -              characters,  instead  of  the  characters specified
    -              with  the   default_verp_delimiters   configuration
    -              parameter.
    -
    -       -v     Send  an email report of the first delivery attempt
    -              (Postfix versions 2.1  and  later).  Mail  delivery
    -              always  happens in the background. When multiple -v
    -              options  are  given,  enable  verbose  logging  for
    -              debugging purposes.
    -
    -       -X log_file (ignored)
    -              Log  mailer  traffic.  Use  the debug_peer_list and
    -              debug_peer_level configuration parameters  instead.
    -
    -SECURITY
    -       By  design,  this  program  is not set-user (or group) id.
    -       However, it must  handle  data  from  untrusted,  possibly
    -       remote,  users.   Thus,  the  usual precautions need to be
    -       taken against malicious inputs.
    -
    -DIAGNOSTICS
    -       Problems are logged to  syslogd(8)  and  to  the  standard
    -       error stream.
    -
    -ENVIRONMENT
    -       MAIL_CONFIG
    -              Directory with Postfix configuration files.
    -
    -       MAIL_VERBOSE (value does not matter)
    -              Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes.
    -
    -       MAIL_DEBUG (value does not matter)
    -              Enable debugging with an external command, as spec-
    -              ified  with  the   debugger_command   configuration
    -              parameter.
    -
    -       NAME   The  sender  full name. This is used only with mes-
    -              sages that have no From: message header.  See  also
    -              the -F option above.

    -DESCRIPTION
    -       The  Postfix sendmail(1) command implements the Postfix to
    -       Sendmail compatibility interface.  For the sake of compat-
    -       ibility with existing applications, some Sendmail command-
    -       line options are recognized but silently ignored.
    -
    -       By default, Postfix sendmail(1) reads a message from stan-
    -       dard  input until EOF or until it reads a line with only a
    -       . character, and arranges  for  delivery.   Postfix  send-
    -       mail(1)  relies  on  the  postdrop(1)  command to create a
    -       queue file in the maildrop directory.
    -
    -       Specific command aliases are  provided  for  other  common
    -       modes of operation:
    -
    -       mailq  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. This mode of oper-
    -              ation is implemented by executing the  postqueue(1)
    -              command.
    -
    -       newaliases
    -              Initialize the alias database.  If no input file is
    -              specified (with the -oA  option,  see  below),  the
    -              program  processes  the  file(s) specified with the
    -              alias_database  configuration  parameter.   If   no
    -              alias  database type is specified, the program uses
    -              the type specified with  the  default_database_type
    -              configuration parameter.  This mode of operation is
    -              implemented by running the postalias(1) command.
    -
    -              Note: it may take a minute or so  before  an  alias
    -              database  update  becomes visible. Use the "postfix
    -              reload" command to eliminate this delay.
    -
    -       These and other features can be selected by specifying the
    -       appropriate combination of command-line options. Some fea-
    -       tures are controlled by parameters in the main.cf configu-
    -       ration file.
    -
    -       The following options are recognized:
    -
    -       -Am (ignored)
    -
    -       -Ac (ignored)
    -              Postfix  sendmail  uses the same configuration file
    -              regardless of whether or not a message is  an  ini-
    -              tial submission.
    -
    -       -B body_type
    -              The message body MIME type: 7BIT or 8BITMIME.
    -
    -       -bd    Go  into  daemon  mode.  This  mode of operation is
    -              implemented by executing the "postfix  start"  com-
    -              mand.
    -
    -       -bh (ignored)
    -
    -       -bH (ignored)
    -              Postfix has no persistent host status database.
    -
    -       -bi    Initialize  alias database. See the newaliases com-
    -              mand above.
    -
    -       -bm    Read mail  from  standard  input  and  arrange  for
    -              delivery.  This is the default mode of operation.
    -
    -       -bp    List the mail queue. See the mailq command above.
    -
    -       -bs    Stand-alone  SMTP  server  mode. Read SMTP commands
    -              from standard input, and write responses  to  stan-
    -              dard 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
    -              mail_owner user.
    -
    -              This mode of operation is  implemented  by  running
    -              the smtpd(8) daemon.
    -
    -       -bv    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.
    -
    -       -C config_file
    -
    -       -C config_dir
    -              The  path  name  of the Postfix main.cf file, or of
    -              its parent directory. This information  is  ignored
    -              with Postfix versions before 2.3.
    -
    -              With all Postfix versions, you can specify a direc-
    -              tory  pathname  with  the  MAIL_CONFIG  environment
    -              variable  to override the location of configuration
    -              files.
    -
    -       -F full_name
    -              Set the sender full name. This overrides  the  NAME
    -              environment  variable,  and  is used only with mes-
    -              sages that have no From: message header.
    -
    -       -f sender
    -              Set  the  envelope  sender  address.  This  is  the
    -              address  where  delivery problems are sent to. With
    -              Postfix versions before 2.1, the Errors-To: message
    -              header overrides the error return address.
    -
    -       -G     Gateway  (relay)  submission, as opposed to initial
    -              user submission.  Either do not  rewrite  addresses
    -              at  all,  or  update  incomplete addresses with the
    -              domain information specified with remote_header_re-
    -              write_domain.
    -
    -              This  option is ignored before Postfix version 2.3.
    -
    -       -h hop_count (ignored)
    -              Hop count limit. Use the hopcount_limit  configura-
    -              tion parameter instead.
    -
    -       -I     Initialize  alias database. See the newaliases com-
    -              mand above.
    -
    -       -i     When reading a message from standard  input,  don't
    -              treat  a line with only a . character as the end of
    -              input.
    -

    -              Set  the  envelope  sender  address.  This  is  the
    -              address where delivery problems are sent  to.  With
    -              Postfix versions before 2.1, the Errors-To: message

    -              Schedule immediate delivery of mail with the speci-
    -              fied  queue ID.  This option is implemented by exe-

    -              service,  and  is  implemented  by  executing   the
    -              postqueue(1) command.  See flush(8) for more infor-
    -              mation about the "fast flush" service.
    -
    -       -qSsite
    -              This command is not  implemented.  Use  the  slower
    -              "sendmail -q" command instead.
    -
    -       -t     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.
    -
    -       -U (ignored)

    -
    -       -XV (Postfix 2.2 and earlier: -V)
    -              Variable  Envelope  Return  Path. Given an envelope
    -              sender address of the  form  owner-listname@origin,
    -              each  recipient  user@domain  receives  mail with a
    -              personalized envelope sender address.
    -
    -              By  default,  the  personalized   envelope   sender
    -              address  is  owner-listname+user=domain@origin. The
    -              default + and = characters  are  configurable  with
    -              the  default_verp_delimiters  configuration parame-
    -              ter.
    -
    -       -XVxy (Postfix 2.2 and earlier: -Vxy)
    -              As -XV, but uses x and  y  as  the  VERP  delimiter
    -              characters,  instead  of  the  characters specified
    -              with  the   default_verp_delimiters   configuration
    -              parameter.
    -
    -       -v     Send  an email report of the first delivery attempt
    -              (Postfix versions 2.1  and  later).  Mail  delivery
    -              always  happens in the background. When multiple -v
    -              options  are  given,  enable  verbose  logging  for
    -              debugging purposes.
    -
    -       -X log_file (ignored)
    -              Log  mailer  traffic.  Use  the debug_peer_list and
    -              debug_peer_level configuration parameters  instead.
    -
    -SECURITY
    -       By  design,  this  program  is not set-user (or group) id.
    -       However, it must  handle  data  from  untrusted,  possibly
    -       remote,  users.   Thus,  the  usual precautions need to be
    -       taken against malicious inputs.
    -

    -NAME
    -       bounce - Postfix delivery status reports
    -
    -SYNOPSIS
    -       bounce [generic Postfix daemon options]
    -
    -DESCRIPTION
    -       The  bounce(8) daemon maintains per-message log files with
    -       delivery status information. Each log file is named  after
    -       the  queue  file  that it corresponds to, and is kept in a
    -       queue subdirectory named after the  service  name  in  the
    -       master.cf file (either bounce, defer or trace).  This pro-
    -       gram expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.
    -
    -       The  bounce(8)  daemon  processes  two  types  of  service
    -       requests:
    -
    -       o      Append a recipient (non-)delivery status record  to
    -              a per-message log file.
    -
    -       o      Enqueue  a  delivery  status  notification message,
    -              with a copy of a per-message log file  and  of  the
    -              corresponding  message.   When  the delivery status
    -              notification message is enqueued successfully,  the
    -              per-message log file is deleted.
    -
    -       The software does a best notification effort. A non-deliv-
    -       ery notification is sent even when the  log  file  or  the
    -       original message cannot be read.
    -
    -       Optionally,  a  bounce  (defer,  trace) client can request
    -       that  the  per-message  log  file  be  deleted  when   the
    -       requested  operation  fails.  This is used by clients that
    -       cannot retry transactions by themselves, and  that  depend
    -       on retry logic in their own client.

    Example: expanding LDAP groups

    - -

    -LDAP is frequently used to store group member information. There are a -number of ways of handling LDAP groups. We will show a few examples in -order of increasing complexity, but owing to the number of independent -variables, we can only present a tiny portion of the solution space. -We show how to: -

    - -
      - -
    1. query groups as lists of addresses;

      - -
    2. query groups as lists of user objects containing addresses;

      - -
    3. forward special lists unexpanded to a separate list server, -for moderation or other processing;

      - -
    4. handle complex schemas by controlling expansion and by treating -leaf nodes specially, using features that are new in Postfix 2.4.

      - -
    - -

    -The example LDAP entries and implied schema below show two group entries -("agroup" and "bgroup") and four user entries ("auser", "buser", "cuser" -and "duser"). The group "agroup" has the users "auser" (1) and "buser" (2) -as members via DN references in the multi-valued attribute "memberdn", and -direct email addresses of two external users "auser@example.org" (3) and -"buser@example.org" (4) stored in the multi-valued attribute "memberaddr". -The same is true of "bgroup" and "cuser"/"duser" (6)/(7)/(8)/(9), but -"bgroup" also has a "maildrop" attribute of "bgroup@mlm.example.com" -(5):

    Our first use case ignores the "memberdn" attributes, and assumes -that groups hold only direct "memberaddr" strings as in (3), (4), (8) and -(9). The goal is to map the group address to the list of constituent -"memberaddr" values. This is simple, ignoring the various connection -related settings (hosts, ports, bind settings, timeouts, ...) we have: -

    - -
    -
    -    simple.cf:
    -        ...
    -        search_base = dc=example, dc=com
    -        query_filter = mail=%s
    -        result_attribute = memberaddr
    -    $ postmap -q agroup@example.com ldap:simple.cf
    -    auser@example.org,buser@example.org
    -
    -
    - -

    We search "dc=example, dc=com". The "mail" attribute is used in the -query_filter to locate the right group, the "result_attribute" setting -described in ldap_table(5) is used to specify that "memberaddr" values -from the matching group are to be returned as a comma separated list. -Always check tables using postmap(1) with the "-q" option, before -deploying them into production use in main.cf.

    - -

    Our second use case instead expands "memberdn" attributes (1), (2), -(6) and (7), follows the DN references and returns the "maildrop" of the -referenced user entries. Here we use the "special_result_attribute" -setting from ldap_table(5) to designate the "memberdn" attribute -as holding DNs of the desired member entries. The "result_attribute" -setting selects which attributes are returned from the selected DNs. It -is important to choose a result attribute that is not also present in -the group object, because result attributes are collected from both -the group and the member DNs. In this case we choose "maildrop" and -assume for the moment that groups never have a "maildrop" (the "bgroup" -"maildrop" attribute is for a different use case). The returned data for -"auser" and "buser" is from items (11) and (13) in the example data.

    - -
    -
    -    special.cf:
    -        ...
    -        search_base = dc=example, dc=com
    -        query_filter = mail=%s
    -        result_attribute = maildrop
    -        special_result_attribute = memberdn
    -    $ postmap -q agroup@example.com ldap:special.cf
    -    auser@mailhub.example.com,buser@mailhub.example.com
    -
    -
    - -

    Note: if the desired member object result attribute is always also -present in the group, you get surprising results: the expansion also -returns the address of the group. This is a known limitation of Postfix -releases prior to 2.4, and is addressed in the new with Postfix 2.4 -"leaf_result_attribute" feature described in ldap_table(5).

    - -

    Our third use case has some groups that are expanded immediately, -and other groups that are forwarded to a dedicated mailing list manager -host for delayed expansion. This uses two LDAP tables, one for users -and forwarded groups and a second for groups that can be expanded -immediately. It is assumed that groups that require forwarding are -never nested members of groups that are directly expanded.

    - -
    -
    -    no_expand.cf:
    -        ...
    -        search_base = dc=example, dc=com
    -        query_filter = mail=%s
    -        result_attribute = maildrop
    -    expand.cf
    -        ...
    -        search_base = dc=example, dc=com
    -        query_filter = mail=%s
    -        result_attribute = maildrop
    -        special_result_attribute = memberdn
    -    $ postmap -q auser@example.com ldap:no_expand.cf ldap:expand.cf
    -    auser@mailhub.example.com
    -    $ postmap -q agroup@example.com ldap:no_expand.cf ldap:expand.cf
    -    auser@mailhub.example.com,buser@mailhub.example.com
    -    $ postmap -q bgroup@example.com ldap:no_expand.cf ldap:expand.cf
    -    bgroup@mlm.example.com
    -
    -
    - -

    Non-group objects and groups with delayed expansion (those that have a -maildrop attribute) are rewritten to a single maildrop value. Groups that -don't have a maildrop are expanded as the second use case. This admits -a more elegant solution with Postfix 2.4 and later.

    - -

    Our final use case is the same as the third, but this time uses new -features in Postfix 2.4. We now are able to use just one LDAP table and -no longer need to assume that forwarded groups are never nested inside -expanded groups.

    - -
    -
    -    fancy.cf:
    -        ...
    -        search_base = dc=example, dc=com
    -        query_filter = mail=%s
    -        result_attribute = memberaddr
    -        special_result_attribute = memberdn
    -        terminal_result_attribute = maildrop
    -        leaf_result_attribute = mail
    -    $ postmap -q auser@example.com ldap:fancy.cf
    -    auser@mailhub.example.com
    -    $ postmap -q cuser@example.com ldap:fancy.cf
    -    cuser@example.com
    -    $ postmap -q agroup@example.com ldap:fancy.cf
    -    auser@mailhub.example.com,buser@mailhub.example.com,auser@example.org,buser@example.org
    -    $ postmap -q bgroup@example.com ldap:fancy.cf
    -    bgroup@mlm.example.com
    -
    -
    - -

    Above, delayed expansion is enabled via "terminal_result_attribute", -which, if present, is used as the sole result and all other expansion is -suppressed. Otherwise, the "leaf_result_attribute" is only returned for -leaf objects that don't have a "special_result_attribute" (non-groups), -while the "result_attribute" (direct member address of groups) is returned -at every level of recursive expansion, not just the leaf nodes. This fancy -example illustrates all the features of Postfix 2.4 group expansion.

    When a high volume destination is served by multiple MX hosts with -typically low delivery latency, performance can suffer dramatically when -one of the MX hosts is unresponsive and SMTP connections to that host -timeout. For example, if there are 2 equal weight MX hosts, the SMTP -connection timeout is 30 seconds and one of the MX hosts is down, the -average SMTP connection will take approximately 15 seconds to complete. -With a default per-destination concurrency limit of 20 connections, -throughput falls to just over 1 message per second.

    The best way to avoid bottlenecks when one or more MX hosts is -non-responsive is to use connection caching. Connection caching was -introduced with Postfix 2.2 and is by default enabled on demand for -destinations with a backlog of mail in the active queue. When connection -caching is in effect for a particular destination, established connections -are re-used to send additional messages, this reduces the number of -connections made per message delivery and maintains good throughput even -in the face of partial unavailability of the destination's MX hosts.

        Postfix on Ultrix

        + +

        This document is probably only of historical value, because +Ultrix version 4 dates from the early 1990s. However, as long as +Wietse keeps Postfix alive for SunOS 4, it is likely to run on +Ultrix 4 with very little change. Feedback is welcome if anyone +actually still uses Postfix on any version of Ultrix.

        + +

        The source of this document is an email message by Christian von Roques +that was sent on Jun 2, 1999.

        + +
        + +

        I've upgraded the MTA of our DECstation-3100 running Ultrix4.3a to +postfix-19990317-pl05 and am sending you the patches I needed to get +it running under Ultrix.

        + +

        . . .

        + +

        One of the bugs of Ultrix's /bin/sh is that shell-variables +set in arguments of `:' expand to garbage if expanded in here-documents. +Using a different shell helps. I needed to replace all calls of +``sh .../makedefs'' by ``$(SHELL) .../makedefs'' in all the +Makefile.in and am now able to use ``make SHELL=/bin/sh5'' or zsh. + +

        . . .

        + +

        Ultrix's FD_SET_SIZE is 4096, but getdtablesize() +returns 64 by default, if not increased when building a new +kernel. getrlimit() doesn't know RLIMIT_NOFILE. This makes +event_init() always log the warning: `could allocate space for +only 64 open files'.

        + +

        I just reduced the threshold from 256 to 64, but this is not good. +The initial problem still remains: How to disable this warning on +Ultrix without making the source ugly?

        + +
        + +

        To work around the first problem, all the Makefile.in files +have been updated to use `$(SHELL)' instead of `sh'. So you only +need to supply a non-default shell in order to eliminate Ultrix +shell trouble.

        + +

        To work around the latter, util/sys_defs.h was updated for +Ultrix, with a default FD_SETSIZE of 100. This should be sufficient +for a workstation. Even in 1999, no-one would run a major mail hub +on Ultrix 4.
