ERROR(8)                                                 ERROR(8)


<b>NAME</b>
       error - Postfix error mailer

<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
       <b>error</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]

<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
       The   Postfix  error  mailer  processes  message  delivery
       requests from the queue manager. Each request specifies  a
       queue  file,  a sender address, a domain or host name that
       is treated as the reason for non-delivery,  and  recipient
       information.  This program expects to be run from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>mas-</b>
       <b>ter</b>(8)</a> process manager.

       The error mailer client forces all recipients  to  bounce,
       using  the  domain  or  host information as the reason for
       non-delivery, 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 problem reports are  sent  to  the  <a href="bounce.8.html"><b>bounce</b>(8)</a>  or
       <a href="defer.8.html"><b>defer</b>(8)</a> daemon as appropriate.

<b>SECURITY</b>
       The  error  mailer  is not security-sensitive. It does not
       talk to the network, and can be run chrooted at fixed  low
       privilege.

<b>STANDARDS</b>
       None.

<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
       Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8).

       Depending  on the setting of the <b>notify</b><i>_</i><b>classes</b> parameter,
       the postmaster is notified of bounces and of  other  trou-
       ble.

<b>BUGS</b>
<b>CONFIGURATION</b> <b>PARAMETERS</b>
       The  following  <b>main.cf</b> parameters are especially relevant
       to this program. See the Postfix <b>main.cf</b> file  for  syntax
       details  and  for  default  values. Use the <b>postfix</b> <b>reload</b>
       command after a configuration change.

<b>Miscellaneous</b>
       <b>bounce</b><i>_</i><b>notice</b><i>_</i><b>recipient</b>
              Postmaster for bounce error notices.

       <b>notify</b><i>_</i><b>classes</b>
              When this parameter includes the <b>bounce</b> class, send
              mail to the postmaster with with the headers of the
              bounced mail.
