6 smtp - Postfix SMTP+LMTP client
7
9 smtp [generic Postfix daemon options]
10
12 The Postfix SMTP+LMTP client implements the SMTP and LMTP mail delivery
13 protocols. It processes message delivery requests from the queue man‐
14 ager. Each request specifies a queue file, a sender address, a domain
15 or host to deliver to, and recipient information. This program expects
16 to be run from the master(8) process manager.
17
18 The SMTP+LMTP client updates the queue file and marks recipients as
19 finished, or it informs the queue manager that delivery should be tried
20 again at a later time. Delivery status reports are sent to the
21 bounce(8), defer(8) or trace(8) daemon as appropriate.
22
23 The SMTP+LMTP client looks up a list of mail exchanger addresses for
24 the destination host, sorts the list by preference, and connects to
25 each listed address until it finds a server that responds.
26
27 When a server is not reachable, or when mail delivery fails due to a
28 recoverable error condition, the SMTP+LMTP client will try to deliver
29 the mail to an alternate host.
30
31 After a successful mail transaction, a connection may be saved to the
32 scache(8) connection cache server, so that it may be used by any
33 SMTP+LMTP client for a subsequent transaction.
34
35 By default, connection caching is enabled temporarily for destinations
36 that have a high volume of mail in the active queue. Connection caching
37 can be enabled permanently for specific destinations.
38
40 SMTP destinations have the following form:
41
42 domainname
43
44 domainname:port
45 Look up the mail exchangers for the specified domain, and con‐
46 nect to the specified port (default: smtp).
47
48 [hostname]
49
50 [hostname]:port
51 Look up the address(es) of the specified host, and connect to
52 the specified port (default: smtp).
53
54 [address]
55
56 [address]:port
57 Connect to the host at the specified address, and connect to the
58 specified port (default: smtp). An IPv6 address must be format‐
59 ted as [ipv6:address].
60
62 LMTP destinations have the following form:
63
64 unix:pathname
65 Connect to the local UNIX-domain server that is bound to the
66 specified pathname. If the process runs chrooted, an absolute
67 pathname is interpreted relative to the Postfix queue directory.
68
69 inet:hostname
70
71 inet:hostname:port
72
73 inet:[address]
74
75 inet:[address]:port
76 Connect to the specified TCP port on the specified local or
77 remote host. If no port is specified, connect to the port
78 defined as lmtp in services(4). If no such service is found,
79 the lmtp_tcp_port configuration parameter (default value of 24)
80 will be used. An IPv6 address must be formatted as
81 [ipv6:address].
82
84 The SMTP+LMTP client is moderately security-sensitive. It talks to SMTP
85 or LMTP servers and to DNS servers on the network. The SMTP+LMTP client
86 can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege.
87
89 RFC 821 (SMTP protocol)
90 RFC 822 (ARPA Internet Text Messages)
91 RFC 1651 (SMTP service extensions)
92 RFC 1652 (8bit-MIME transport)
93 RFC 1870 (Message Size Declaration)
94 RFC 2033 (LMTP protocol)
95 RFC 2034 (SMTP Enhanced Error Codes)

103 RFC 3463 (Enhanced Status Codes)
104 RFC 4954 (AUTH command)
105
107 Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8). Corrupted message
108 files are marked so that the queue manager can move them to the corrupt
109 queue for further inspection.
110
111 Depending on the setting of the notify_classes parameter, the postmas‐
112 ter is notified of bounces, protocol problems, and of other trouble.
113
115 SMTP and LMTP connection caching does not work with TLS. The necessary
116 support for TLS object passivation and re-activation does not exist
117 without closing the session, which defeats the purpose.
118
119 SMTP and LMTP connection caching assumes that SASL credentials are
120 valid for all destinations that map onto the same IP address and TCP
121 port.
122
124 Before Postfix version 2.3, the LMTP client is a separate program that
125 implements only a subset of the functionality available with SMTP:
126 there is no support for TLS, and connections are cached in-process,
127 making it ineffective when the client is used for multiple domains.
128
129 Most smtp_xxx configuration parameters have an lmtp_xxx "mirror" param‐
130 eter for the equivalent LMTP feature. This document describes only
131 those LMTP-related parameters that aren't simply "mirror" parameters.
132
133 Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically, as smtp(8) processes
134 run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "postfix reload"
135 to speed up a change.
