6 /* SUMMARY
7 /* Postfix local mail delivery
8 /* SYNOPSIS
9 /* \fBlocal\fR [generic Postfix daemon options]
10 /* DESCRIPTION
11 /* The \fBlocal\fR(8) daemon processes delivery requests from the
12 /* Postfix queue manager to deliver mail to local recipients.
13 /* Each delivery request specifies a queue file, a sender address,
14 /* a domain or host to deliver to, and one or more recipients.
15 /* This program expects to be run from the \fBmaster\fR(8) process
16 /* manager.
18 /* The \fBlocal\fR(8) daemon updates queue files and marks recipients
19 /* as finished, or it informs the queue manager that delivery should
20 /* be tried again at a later time. Delivery status reports are sent
21 /* to the \fBbounce\fR(8), \fBdefer\fR(8) or \fBtrace\fR(8) daemon as
22 /* appropriate.
23 /* CASE FOLDING
24 /* .ad
25 /* .fi
26 /* All delivery decisions are made using the bare recipient
27 /* name (i.e. the address localpart), folded to lower case.
28 /* See also under ADDRESS EXTENSION below for a few exceptions.
29 /* SYSTEM-WIDE AND USER-LEVEL ALIASING
30 /* .ad
31 /* .fi
32 /* The system administrator can set up one or more system-wide
33 /* \fBsendmail\fR-style alias databases.
34 /* Users can have \fBsendmail\fR-style ~/.\fBforward\fR files.
35 /* Mail for \fIname\fR is delivered to the alias \fIname\fR, to
36 /* destinations in ~\fIname\fR/.\fBforward\fR, to the mailbox owned
37 /* by the user \fIname\fR, or it is sent back as undeliverable.
39 /* The system administrator can specify a comma/space separated list
40 /* of ~\fR/.\fBforward\fR like files through the \fBforward_path\fR
41 /* configuration parameter. Upon delivery, the local delivery agent
42 /* tries each pathname in the list until a file is found.
44 /* Delivery via ~/.\fBforward\fR files is done with the privileges
45 /* of the recipient.
46 /* Thus, ~/.\fBforward\fR like files must be readable by the
47 /* recipient, and their parent directory needs to have "execute"
48 /* permission for the recipient.
50 /* The \fBforward_path\fR parameter is subject to interpolation of
51 /* \fB$user\fR (recipient username), \fB$home\fR (recipient home
52 /* directory), \fB$shell\fR (recipient shell), \fB$recipient\fR
53 /* (complete recipient address), \fB$extension\fR (recipient address
54 /* extension), \fB$domain\fR (recipient domain), \fB$local\fR
55 /* (entire recipient address localpart) and
56 /* \fB$recipient_delimiter.\fR The forms \fI${name?value}\fR and
57 /* \fI${name:value}\fR expand conditionally to \fIvalue\fR when
58 /* \fI$name\fR is (is not) defined.
59 /* Characters that may have special meaning to the shell or file system
60 /* are replaced by underscores. The list of acceptable characters
61 /* is specified with the \fBforward_expansion_filter\fR configuration
62 /* parameter.
64 /* An alias or ~/.\fBforward\fR file may list any combination of external
65 /* commands, destination file names, \fB:include:\fR directives, or
66 /* mail addresses.
67 /* See \fBaliases\fR(5) for a precise description. Each line in a
68 /* user's .\fBforward\fR file has the same syntax as the right-hand part
69 /* of an alias.
71 /* When an address is found in its own alias expansion, delivery is
72 /* made to the user instead. When a user is listed in the user's own
73 /* ~/.\fBforward\fR file, delivery is made to the user's mailbox instead.
74 /* An empty ~/.\fBforward\fR file means do not forward mail.
76 /* In order to prevent the mail system from using up unreasonable
77 /* amounts of memory, input records read from \fB:include:\fR or from
78 /* ~/.\fBforward\fR files are broken up into chunks of length
79 /* \fBline_length_limit\fR.
81 /* While expanding aliases, ~/.\fBforward\fR files, and so on, the
82 /* program attempts to avoid duplicate deliveries. The
83 /* \fBduplicate_filter_limit\fR configuration parameter limits the
84 /* number of remembered recipients.
85 /* MAIL FORWARDING
86 /* .ad
87 /* .fi
88 /* For the sake of reliability, forwarded mail is re-submitted as
89 /* a new message, so that each recipient has a separate on-file
90 /* delivery status record.
92 /* In order to stop mail forwarding loops early, the software adds an
93 /* optional
94 /* \fBDelivered-To:\fR header with the final envelope recipient address. If
95 /* mail arrives for a recipient that is already listed in a
96 /* \fBDelivered-To:\fR header, the message is bounced.
97 /* MAILBOX DELIVERY
98 /* .ad
99 /* .fi
100 /* The default per-user mailbox is a file in the UNIX mail spool
101 /* directory (\fB/var/mail/\fIuser\fR or \fB/var/spool/mail/\fIuser\fR);
102 /* the location can be specified with the \fBmail_spool_directory\fR
103 /* configuration parameter. Specify a name ending in \fB/\fR for
104 /* \fBqmail\fR-compatible \fBmaildir\fR delivery.
106 /* Alternatively, the per-user mailbox can be a file in the user's home
107 /* directory with a name specified via the \fBhome_mailbox\fR
108 /* configuration parameter. Specify a relative path name. Specify a name
109 /* ending in \fB/\fR for \fBqmail\fR-compatible \fBmaildir\fR delivery.
111 /* Mailbox delivery can be delegated to an external command specified
112 /* with the \fBmailbox_command_maps\fR and \fBmailbox_command\fR
113 /* configuration parameters. The command
114 /* executes with the privileges of the recipient user (exceptions:
115 /* secondary groups are not enabled; in case of delivery as root,
116 /* the command executes with the privileges of \fBdefault_privs\fR).
118 /* Mailbox delivery can be delegated to alternative message transports
119 /* specified in the \fBmaster.cf\fR file.
120 /* The \fBmailbox_transport_maps\fR and \fBmailbox_transport\fR
121 /* configuration parameters specify an optional
122 /* message transport that is to be used for all local recipients,
123 /* regardless of whether they are found in the UNIX passwd database.
124 /* The \fBfallback_transport_maps\fR and
125 /* \fBfallback_transport\fR parameters specify an optional
126 /* message transport
127 /* for recipients that are not found in the aliases(5) or UNIX
128 /* passwd database.
130 /* In the case of UNIX-style mailbox delivery,
131 /* the \fBlocal\fR(8) daemon prepends a "\fBFrom \fIsender time_stamp\fR"
132 /* envelope header to each message, prepends an
133 /* \fBX-Original-To:\fR header with the recipient address as given to
134 /* Postfix, prepends an
135 /* optional \fBDelivered-To:\fR header
136 /* with the final envelope recipient address, prepends a \fBReturn-Path:\fR
137 /* header with the envelope sender address, prepends a \fB>\fR character
138 /* to lines beginning with "\fBFrom \fR", and appends an empty line.
139 /* The mailbox is locked for exclusive access while delivery is in
140 /* progress. In case of problems, an attempt is made to truncate the
141 /* mailbox to its original length.
143 /* In the case of \fBmaildir\fR delivery, the local daemon prepends
144 /* an optional
145 /* \fBDelivered-To:\fR header with the final envelope recipient address,
146 /* prepends an
147 /* \fBX-Original-To:\fR header with the recipient address as given to
148 /* Postfix,
149 /* and prepends a \fBReturn-Path:\fR header with the envelope sender
150 /* address.
151 /* EXTERNAL COMMAND DELIVERY
152 /* .ad
153 /* .fi
154 /* The \fBallow_mail_to_commands\fR configuration parameter restricts
155 /* delivery to external commands. The default setting (\fBalias,
156 /* forward\fR) forbids command destinations in \fB:include:\fR files.
158 /* Optionally, the process working directory is changed to the path
159 /* specified with \fBcommand_execution_directory\fR (Postfix 2.2 and
160 /* later). Failure to change directory causes mail to be deferred.
162 /* The \fBcommand_execution_directory\fR parameter value is subject
163 /* to interpolation of \fB$user\fR (recipient username),
164 /* \fB$home\fR (recipient home directory), \fB$shell\fR
165 /* (recipient shell), \fB$recipient\fR (complete recipient
166 /* address), \fB$extension\fR (recipient address extension),
167 /* \fB$domain\fR (recipient domain), \fB$local\fR (entire
168 /* recipient address localpart) and \fB$recipient_delimiter.\fR
169 /* The forms \fI${name?value}\fR and \fI${name:value}\fR expand
170 /* conditionally to \fIvalue\fR when \fI$name\fR is (is not)
171 /* defined. Characters that may have special meaning to the
172 /* shell or file system are replaced by underscores. The list
173 /* of acceptable characters is specified with the
174 /* \fBexecution_directory_expansion_filter\fR configuration
175 /* parameter.
177 /* The command is executed directly where possible. Assistance by the
178 /* shell (\fB/bin/sh\fR on UNIX systems) is used only when the command
179 /* contains shell magic characters, or when the command invokes a shell
180 /* built-in command.
182 /* A limited amount of command output (standard output and standard
183 /* error) is captured for inclusion with non-delivery status reports.
184 /* A command is forcibly terminated if it does not complete within
185 /* \fBcommand_time_limit\fR seconds. Command exit status codes are
186 /* expected to follow the conventions defined in <\fBsysexits.h\fR>.
187 /* Exit status 0 means normal successful completion.
189 /* Postfix version 2.3 and later support RFC 3463-style enhanced
190 /* status codes. If a command terminates with a non-zero exit
191 /* status, and the command output begins with an enhanced
192 /* status code, this status code takes precedence over the
193 /* non-zero exit status.
195 /* A limited amount of message context is exported via environment

315 /* STANDARDS
316 /* RFC 822 (ARPA Internet Text Messages)
317 /* RFC 3463 (Enhanced status codes)
318 /* DIAGNOSTICS
319 /* Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8).
320 /* Corrupted message files are marked so that the queue
321 /* manager can move them to the \fBcorrupt\fR queue afterwards.
323 /* Depending on the setting of the \fBnotify_classes\fR parameter,
324 /* the postmaster is notified of bounces and of other trouble.
325 /* SECURITY
326 /* .ad
327 /* .fi
328 /* The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent needs a dual personality
329 /* 1) to access the private Postfix queue and IPC mechanisms,
330 /* 2) to impersonate the recipient and deliver to recipient-specified
331 /* files or commands. It is therefore security sensitive.
333 /* The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent disallows regular expression
334 /* substitution of $1 etc. in \fBalias_maps\fR, because that
335 /* would open a security hole.
337 /* The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent will silently ignore
338 /* requests to use the \fBproxymap\fR(8) server within
339 /* \fBalias_maps\fR. Instead it will open the table directly.
340 /* Before Postfix version 2.2, the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery
341 /* agent will terminate with a fatal error.
342 /* BUGS
343 /* For security reasons, the message delivery status of external commands
344 /* or of external files is never checkpointed to file. As a result,
345 /* the program may occasionally deliver more than once to a command or
346 /* external file. Better safe than sorry.
348 /* Mutually-recursive aliases or ~/.\fBforward\fR files are not detected
