Each request specifies a queue file, a sender address, a domain or host name that is treated as the reason for non-delivery, and recipient information. This 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 error mailer client forces all recipients to bounce, using the domain or host information as the reason for non-delivery, updates the queue file and marks recipients as finished, or it informs the queue manager that delivery should be tried again at a later time. Delivery problem reports are sent to the <a href="bounce.8.html"><b>bounce</b>(8)</a> or <a href="defer.8.html"><b>defer</b>(8)</a> daemon as appropriate. <b>SECURITY</b> The error mailer is not security-sensitive. It does not talk to the network, and can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege. <b>STANDARDS</b> None. <b>DIAGNOSTICS</b> Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8).
