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)

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.
