| 1 | .TH qmail-smtpd 8 | ||
| 2 | .SH NAME | ||
| 3 | qmail-smtpd \- receive mail via SMTP | ||
| 4 | .SH SYNOPSIS | ||
| 5 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 6 | .SH DESCRIPTION | ||
| 7 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 8 | receives mail messages via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) | ||
| 9 | and invokes | ||
| 10 | .B qmail-queue | ||
| 11 | to deposit them into the outgoing queue. | ||
| 12 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 13 | must be supplied several environment variables; | ||
| 14 | see | ||
| 15 | .BR tcp-environ(5) . | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 18 | is responsible for counting hops. | ||
| 19 | It rejects any message with 100 or more | ||
| 20 | .B Received | ||
| 21 | or | ||
| 22 | .B Delivered-To | ||
| 23 | header fields. | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 26 | supports ESMTP, including the 8BITMIME and PIPELINING options. | ||
| 27 | .SH TRANSPARENCY | ||
| 28 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 29 | converts the SMTP newline convention into the UNIX newline convention | ||
| 30 | by converting CR LF into LF. | ||
| 31 | It returns a temporary error and drops the connection on bare LFs; | ||
| 32 | see | ||
| 33 | .BR http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html . | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 36 | accepts messages that contain long lines or non-ASCII characters, | ||
| 37 | even though such messages violate the SMTP protocol. | ||
| 38 | .SH "CONTROL FILES" | ||
| 39 | .TP 5 | ||
| 40 | .I badmailfrom | ||
| 41 | Unacceptable envelope sender addresses. | ||
| 42 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 43 | will reject every recipient address for a message | ||
| 44 | if the envelope sender address is listed in | ||
| 45 | .IR badmailfrom . | ||
| 46 | A line in | ||
| 47 | .I badmailfrom | ||
| 48 | may be of the form | ||
| 49 | .BR @\fIhost , | ||
| 50 | meaning every address at | ||
| 51 | .IR host . | ||
| 52 | .TP 5 | ||
| 53 | .I databytes | ||
| 54 | Maximum number of bytes allowed in a message, | ||
| 55 | or 0 for no limit. | ||
| 56 | Default: 0. | ||
| 57 | If a message exceeds this limit, | ||
| 58 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 59 | returns a permanent error code to the client; | ||
| 60 | in contrast, if | ||
| 61 | the disk is full or | ||
| 62 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 63 | hits a resource limit, | ||
| 64 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 65 | returns a temporary error code. | ||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | .I databytes | ||
| 68 | counts bytes as stored on disk, not as transmitted through the network. | ||
| 69 | It does not count the | ||
| 70 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 71 | Received line, the | ||
| 72 | .B qmail-queue | ||
| 73 | Received line, or the envelope. | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | If the environment variable | ||
| 76 | .B DATABYTES | ||
| 77 | is set, it overrides | ||
| 78 | .IR databytes . | ||
| 79 | .TP 5 | ||
| 80 | .I localiphost | ||
| 81 | Replacement host name for local IP addresses. | ||
| 82 | Default: | ||
| 83 | .IR me , | ||
| 84 | if that is supplied. | ||
| 85 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 86 | is responsible for recognizing dotted-decimal addresses for the | ||
| 87 | current host. | ||
| 88 | When it sees a recipient address of the form | ||
| 89 | .IR box@[d.d.d.d] , | ||
| 90 | where | ||
| 91 | .I d.d.d.d | ||
| 92 | is a local IP address, | ||
| 93 | it replaces | ||
| 94 | .IR [d.d.d.d] | ||
| 95 | with | ||
| 96 | .IR localiphost . | ||
| 97 | This is done before | ||
| 98 | .IR rcpthosts . | ||
| 99 | .TP 5 | ||
| 100 | .I morercpthosts | ||
| 101 | Extra allowed RCPT domains. | ||
| 102 | If | ||
| 103 | .I rcpthosts | ||
| 104 | and | ||
| 105 | .I morercpthosts | ||
| 106 | both exist, | ||
| 107 | .I morercpthosts | ||
| 108 | is effectively appended to | ||
| 109 | .IR rcpthosts . | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | You must run | ||
| 112 | .B qmail-newmrh | ||
| 113 | whenever | ||
| 114 | .I morercpthosts | ||
| 115 | changes. | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | Rule of thumb for large sites: | ||
| 118 | Put your 50 most commonly used domains into | ||
| 119 | .IR rcpthosts , | ||
| 120 | and the rest into | ||
| 121 | .IR morercpthosts . | ||
| 122 | .TP 5 | ||
| 123 | .I rcpthosts | ||
| 124 | Allowed RCPT domains. | ||
| 125 | If | ||
| 126 | .I rcpthosts | ||
| 127 | is supplied, | ||
| 128 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 129 | will reject | ||
| 130 | any envelope recipient address with a domain not listed in | ||
| 131 | .IR rcpthosts . | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | Exception: | ||
| 134 | If the environment variable | ||
| 135 | .B RELAYCLIENT | ||
| 136 | is set, | ||
| 137 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 138 | will ignore | ||
| 139 | .IR rcpthosts , | ||
| 140 | and will append the value of | ||
| 141 | .B RELAYCLIENT | ||
| 142 | to each incoming recipient address. | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | .I rcpthosts | ||
| 145 | may include wildcards: | ||
| 146 | |||
| 147 | .EX | ||
| 148 | heaven.af.mil | ||
| 149 | .heaven.af.mil | ||
| 150 | .EE | ||
| 151 | |||
| 152 | Envelope recipient addresses without @ signs are | ||
| 153 | always allowed through. | ||
| 154 | .TP 5 | ||
| 155 | .I smtpgreeting | ||
| 156 | SMTP greeting message. | ||
| 157 | Default: | ||
| 158 | .IR me , | ||
| 159 | if that is supplied; | ||
| 160 | otherwise | ||
| 161 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 162 | will refuse to run. | ||
| 163 | The first word of | ||
| 164 | .I smtpgreeting | ||
| 165 | should be the current host's name. | ||
| 166 | .TP 5 | ||
| 167 | .I timeoutsmtpd | ||
| 168 | Number of seconds | ||
| 169 | .B qmail-smtpd | ||
| 170 | will wait for each new buffer of data from the remote SMTP client. | ||
| 171 | Default: 1200. | ||
