\fBpostdrop\fR [\fB-rv\fR] [\fB-c \fIconfig_dir\fR]

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
The \fBpostdrop\fR(1) command creates a file in the \fBmaildrop\fR
|
|
directory and copies its standard input to the file.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
.IP "\fB-c \fIconfig_dir\fR"
|
|
The \fBmain.cf\fR configuration file is in the named directory
|
|
instead of the default configuration directory. See also the
|
|
MAIL_CONFIG environment setting below.
|
|
.IP \fB-r\fR
|
|
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.
|
|
.IP \fB-v\fR
|
|
Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple \fB-v\fR
|
|
options make the software increasingly verbose. As of Postfix 2.3,
|
|
this option is available for the super-user only.
|

|
|
The command is designed to run with set-group ID privileges, so
|
|
that it can write to the \fBmaildrop\fR queue directory and so that
|
|
it can connect to Postfix daemon processes.
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.ad
|
|
.fi
|
|
Fatal errors: malformed input, I/O error, out of memory. Problems
|
|
are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(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.

.IP MAIL_CONFIG
|
|
Directory with the \fBmain.cf\fR file. In order to avoid exploitation
|
|
of set-group ID privileges, a non-standard directory is allowed only
|
|
if:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
The name is listed in the standard \fBmain.cf\fR file with the
|
|
\fBalternate_config_directories\fR configuration parameter.
|
|
.IP \(bu
|
|
The command is invoked by the super-user.
