<html> <head> </head> <body> <pre> POSTDROP(1) POSTDROP(1) <b>NAME</b> postdrop - Postfix mail posting utility <b>SYNOPSIS</b> <b>postdrop</b> [<b>-rv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config_dir</i>] <b>DESCRIPTION</b> The <b>postdrop</b> command creates a file in the <b>maildrop</b> direc- tory and copies its standard input to the file. Options: <b>-c</b> The <b>main.cf</b> configuration file is in the named directory instead of the default configuration directory. See also the MAIL_CONFIG environment setting below. <b>-r</b> Use a Postfix-internal protocol for reading the message from standard input, and for reporting sta- tus information on standard output. This is cur- rently the only supported method. <b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Mul- tiple <b>-v</b> options make the software increasingly verbose. <b>SECURITY</b> The command is designed to run with set-group ID privi- leges, so that it can write to the <b>maildrop</b> queue direc- tory and so that it can connect to Postfix daemon pro- cesses. <b>DIAGNOSTICS</b> Fatal errors: malformed input, I/O error, out of memory. Problems are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(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. <b>ENVIRONMENT</b> MAIL_CONFIG Directory with the <b>main.cf</b> file. In order to avoid exploitation of set-group ID privileges, it is not possible to specify arbitrary directory names. A non-standard directory is allowed only if the name is listed in the standard <b>main.cf</b> file, in the <b>alternate</b><i>_</i><b>config</b><i>_</i><b>directories</b> configuration parame- ter value. Only the superuser is allowed to specify arbitrary directory names. <b>FILES</b> /var/spool/postfix, mail queue /etc/postfix, configuration files <b>CONFIGURATION</b> <b>PARAMETERS</b> See the Postfix <b>main.cf</b> file for syntax details and for default values. Use the <b>postfix</b> <b>reload</b> command after a configuration change. <b>import</b><i>_</i><b>environment</b> List of names of environment parameters that can be imported from non-Postfix processes. <b>queue</b><i>_</i><b>directory</b> Top-level directory of the Postfix queue. This is also the root directory of Postfix daemons that run chrooted. <b>SEE</b> <b>ALSO</b> <a href="sendmail.1.html">sendmail(1)</a> compatibility interface syslogd(8) system logging <b>LICENSE</b> The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software. <b>AUTHOR(S)</b> Wietse Venema IBM T.J.
