Postfix discard mail delivery agent
SYNOPSIS
discard [generic Postfix daemon options]
DESCRIPTION
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
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
None.
DIAGNOSTICS
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
Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically as discard(8)
processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command
"postfix reload" to speed up a change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
postconf(5) for more details including examples.
config_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)
The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf
configuration files.
daemon_timeout (18000s)
How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a
request before it is terminated by a built-in watchdog timer.
delay_logging_resolution_limit (2)
The maximal number of digits after the decimal point when logging
sub-second delay values.
double_bounce_sender (double-bounce)
The sender address of postmaster notifications that are generated
by the mail system.
ipc_timeout (3600s)
The time limit for sending or receiving information over an internal
communication channel.
max_idle (100s)
The maximum amount of time that an idle Postfix daemon process
waits for the next service request before exiting.
max_use (100)
The maximal number of connection requests before a Postfix daemon
process terminates.
process_id (read-only)
The process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process.
process_name (read-only)
The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process.
queue_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)
The location of the Postfix top-level queue directory.
syslog_facility (mail)
