Each message is piped through the <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a> dae- mon, and is placed into the <a href="QSHAPE_README.html#incoming_queue"><b>incoming</b> queue</a> as one single queue file. The program expects to be run from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>mas-</b></a> <a href="master.8.html"><b>ter</b>(8)</a> process manager. The QMQP server implements one access policy: only explic- itly authorized client hosts are allowed to use the ser- vice. <b>SECURITY</b> The QMQP server is moderately security-sensitive. It talks to QMQP clients and to DNS servers on the network. The QMQP server can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege. <b>DIAGNOSTICS</b> Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8). <b>BUGS</b> The QMQP protocol provides only one server reply per mes- sage delivery. It is therefore not possible to reject individual recipients. The QMQP protocol requires the server to receive the entire message before replying. If a message is malformed, or if any netstring component is longer than acceptable, Postfix replies immediately and closes the connection. It is left up to the client to handle the situation. <b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b> Changes to <b>main.cf</b> are picked up automatically, as <a href="qmqpd.8.html">qmqpd(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.
