POSTDROP(1) POSTDROP(1)
|
|
|
|
<b>NAME</b>
|
|
postdrop - Postfix mail posting utility
|
|
|
|
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
|
|
<b>postdrop</b> [<b>-rv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>]
|
|
|
|
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
|
|
The <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a> command creates a file in the <b>maildrop</b> directory and
|
|
copies its standard input to the file.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
|
|
<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
|
|
The <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file is in the named directory instead
|
|
of the default configuration directory. See also the MAIL_CONFIG
|
|
environment setting below.
|
|
|
|
<b>-r</b> Use a Postfix-internal protocol for reading the message from
|
|
standard input, and for reporting status information on standard
|
|
output. This is currently the only supported method.
|
|
|
|
<b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple <b>-v</b>
|
|
options make the software increasingly verbose. As of Postfix
|
|
2.3, this option is available for the super-user only.
|
|
|
|
<b>SECURITY</b>
|
|
The command is designed to run with set-group ID privileges, so that it
|
|
can write to the <b>maildrop</b> queue directory and so that it can connect to
|
|
Postfix daemon processes.
|
|
|
|
<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
|
|
Fatal errors: malformed input, I/O error, out of memory. Problems are
|
|
logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) and to the standard error stream. When the input
|
|
is incomplete, or when the process receives a HUP, INT, QUIT or TERM
|
|
signal, the queue file is deleted.
|
|
|
|
<b>ENVIRONMENT</b>
|
|
MAIL_CONFIG
|
|
Directory with the <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file. In order to avoid exploitation
|
|
of set-group ID privileges, a non-standard directory is allowed
|
|
only if:
|
|
|
|
<b>o</b> The name is listed in the standard <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file with the
|
|
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#alternate_config_directories">alternate_config_directories</a></b> configuration parameter.
|
|
|
|
<b>o</b> The command is invoked by the super-user.
