pickup - Postfix local mail pickup  



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



DESCRIPTION   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil
The pickup(8) daemon waits for hints that new mail has been dropped into the maildrop directory, and feeds it into the cleanup(8) daemon. Ill-formatted files are deleted without notifying the originator. This program expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.  



STANDARDS   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil


None. The pickup(8) daemon does not interact with
the outside world.
 



SECURITY   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil


The pickup(8) daemon is moderately security sensitive. It runs
with fixed low privilege and can run in a chrooted environment.
However, the program reads files from potentially hostile users.
The pickup(8) daemon opens no files for writing, is careful about
what files it opens for reading, and does not actually touch any data
that is sent to its public service endpoint.
 



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



BUGS   Début   Précédent   Suivant   Sommaire   Préc.page.lue   Accueil
The pickup(8) daemon copies mail from file to the cleanup(8) daemon. It could avoid message copying overhead by sending a file descriptor instead of file data, but then the already complex cleanup(8) daemon would have to deal with unfiltered user data.  



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


As the pickup(8) daemon is a relatively long-running process, up
to an hour may pass before a main.cf change takes effect.
Use the command "postfix reload" command to speed up a change.

The text below provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details including examples.
