discard - Postfix discard mail delivery agent  



SYNOPSIS   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil
discard [generic Postfix daemon options]
 



DESCRIPTION   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil
The Postfix discard(8) delivery agent processes delivery requests from the queue manager. Each request specifies a queue file, a sender address, a domain or host name that is treated as the reason for discarding the mail, and recipient information. The reason may be prefixed with an RFC 3463-compatible detail code. This program expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.

The discard(8) delivery agent pretends to deliver all recipients in the delivery request, logs the "next-hop" domain or host information as the reason for discarding the mail, updates the queue file and marks recipients as finished or informs the queue manager that delivery should be tried again at a later time.

Delivery status reports are sent to the trace(8) daemon as appropriate.  




SECURITY   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil


The discard(8) mailer is not security-sensitive. It does not talk
to the network, and can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege.
 



STANDARDS   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil
None.
 



DIAGNOSTICS   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil
Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8).

Depending on the setting of the notify_classes parameter, the postmaster is notified of bounces and of other trouble.  




CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil


Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically as discard(8)
