CLEANUP(8) CLEANUP(8)
<b>NAME</b>
cleanup - canonicalize and enqueue Postfix message
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>cleanup</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a> daemon processes inbound mail, inserts it
into the <b>incoming</b> mail queue, and informs the queue man-
ager of its arrival.
The <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a> daemon always performs the following trans-
formations:
<b>o</b> Insert missing message headers: (<b>Resent-</b>) <b>From:</b>,
<b>To:</b>, <b>Message-Id:</b>, and <b>Date:</b>.
<b>o</b> Transform envelope and header addresses to the
standard <i>user@fully-qualified-domain</i> form that is
expected by other Postfix programs. This task is
delegated to the <a href="trivial-rewrite.8.html"><b>trivial-rewrite</b>(8)</a> daemon.
<b>o</b> Eliminate duplicate envelope recipient addresses.
The following address transformations are optional:
<b>o</b> Optionally, rewrite all envelope and header
addresses according to the mappings specified in
the <a href="canonical.5.html"><b>canonical</b>(5)</a> lookup tables.
<b>o</b> Optionally, masquerade envelope sender addresses
and message header addresses (i.e. strip host or
domain information below all domains listed in the
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#masquerade_domains">masquerade_domains</a></b> parameter, except for user names
listed in <b><a href="postconf.5.html#masquerade_exceptions">masquerade_exceptions</a></b>). By default,
address masquerading does not affect envelope
recipients.
<b>o</b> Optionally, expand envelope recipients according to
information found in the <a href="virtual.5.html"><b>virtual</b>(5)</a> lookup tables.
The <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a> daemon performs sanity checks on the con-
tent of each message. When it finds a problem, by default
it returns a diagnostic status to the client, and leaves
it up to the client to deal with the problem. Alterna-
tively, the client can request the <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a> daemon to
bounce the message back to the sender in case of trouble.
<b>STANDARDS</b>
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822">RFC 822</a> (ARPA Internet Text Messages)
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045">RFC 2045</a> (MIME: Format of Internet Message Bodies)
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046">RFC 2046</a> (MIME: Media Types)
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822">RFC 2822</a> (Internet Message Format)
<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3463">RFC 3463</a> (Enhanced Status Codes)

<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322">RFC 5322</a> (Internet Message Format)
<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8).
<b>BUGS</b>
Table-driven rewriting rules make it hard to express <b>if</b>
<b>then else</b> and other logical relationships.
<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
Changes to <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> are picked up automatically, as
<a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a> processes run for only a limited amount of
time. Use the command "<b>postfix reload</b>" to speed up a
change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
<a href="postconf.5.html"><b>postconf</b>(5)</a> for more details including examples.
<b>COMPATIBILITY CONTROLS</b>

sage header.

fied with the non-standard Errors-To: message

sions).
