QMQPD(8)                                                              QMQPD(8)

<b>NAME</b>
       qmqpd - Postfix QMQP server

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

<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
       The  Postfix  QMQP server receives one message per connec-
       tion.  Each message is piped through the  <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a>  dae-
       mon,  and  is placed into the <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#incoming_queue"><b>incoming</b> queue</a> as one single
       queue file.  The program expects to be run from  the  <a href="master.8.html"><b>mas-</b></a>
       <a href="master.8.html"><b>ter</b>(8)</a> process manager.

       The QMQP server implements one access policy: only explic-
       itly authorized client hosts are allowed to use  the  ser-
       vice.

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

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

<b>BUGS</b>
       The  QMQP protocol provides only one server reply per mes-
       sage delivery. It is  therefore  not  possible  to  reject
       individual recipients.

       The  QMQP  protocol  requires  the  server  to receive the
       entire message before replying. If a message is malformed,
       or  if  any netstring component is longer than acceptable,
       Postfix replies immediately and closes the connection.  It
       is left up to the client to handle the situation.

<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
       Changes   to  <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a>  are  picked  up  automatically,  as
       <a href="qmqpd.8.html"><b>qmqpd</b>(8)</a> processes run for only a limited amount of  time.
       Use the command "<b>postfix reload</b>" to speed up a change.

       <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>postconf</b>(5)</a> for more details including examples.
