SMTPD(8) SMTPD(8)
<b>NAME</b>
smtpd - Postfix SMTP server
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>smtpd</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The SMTP server accepts network connection requests and
performs zero or more SMTP transactions per connection.
Each received 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. For this mode of operation, the program
expects to be run from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager.
Alternatively, the SMTP server be can run in stand-alone
mode; this is traditionally obtained with "<b>sendmail -bs</b>".
When the SMTP server runs stand-alone with non $<b><a href="postconf.5.html#mail_owner">mail_owner</a></b>
privileges, it receives mail even while the mail system is
not running, deposits messages directly into the <b>maildrop</b>
queue, and disables the SMTP server's access policies. As
of Postfix version 2.3, the SMTP server refuses to receive
mail from the network when it runs with non $<b><a href="postconf.5.html#mail_owner">mail_owner</a></b>
privileges.
The SMTP server implements a variety of policies for con-
nection requests, and for parameters given to <b>HELO, ETRN,</b>
<b>MAIL FROM, VRFY</b> and <b>RCPT TO</b> commands. They are detailed
below and in the <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file.
<b>SECURITY</b>
The SMTP server is moderately security-sensitive. It talks
to SMTP clients and to DNS servers on the network. The
SMTP server can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege.

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

the postmaster is notified of bounces, protocol problems,
policy violations, and of other trouble.

delivering mail.
