Postfix manual - master(5)

Версия для печати

MASTER(5) MASTER(5) NAME master - Postfix master process configuration file format DESCRIPTION The Postfix mail system is implemented by small number of (mostly) client commands that are invoked by users, and by a larger number of services that run in the background. Postfix services are implemented by daemon processes. These run in the background under control of the master(8) process. The master.cf configuration file defines how a client program connects to a service, and what daemon pro- gram runs when a service is requested. Most daemon pro- cesses are short-lived and terminate after serving max_use clients, or after inactivity for max_idle or more units of time. All daemons specified here must speak a Postfix-internal protocol. In order to execute non-Postfix software use the local(8), pipe(8) or spawn(8) services, or run the server under control by inetd(8) or equivalent. After changing master.cf you must execute "postfix reload" to reload the configuration. SYNTAX The general format of the master.cf file is as follows: o Each logical line defines a single Postfix service. Each service is identified by its name and type as described below. When multiple lines specify the same service name and type, only the last one is remembered. Otherwise, the order of master.cf ser- vice definitions does not matter. o Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as are lines whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'. o A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that starts with whitespace continues a logi- cal line. Each logical line consists of eight fields separated by whitespace. These are described below in the order as they appear in the master.cf file. Where applicable a field of "-" requests that the built-in default value be used. For boolean fields specify "y" or "n" to override the default value. Service name The service name syntax depends on the service type as described next. Service type Specify one of the following service types: inet The service listens on a TCP/IP socket and is accessible via the network. The service name is specified as host:port, denoting the host and port on which new con- nections should be accepted. The host part (and colon) may be omitted. Either host or port may be given in symbolic form (host or service name) or in numeric form (IP address or port number). Host information may be enclosed inside "[]", but this form is not necessary. Examples: a service named 127.0.0.1:smtp or ::1:smtp receives mail via the loopback interface only; and a service named 10025 accepts connections on TCP port 10025 via all interfaces configured with the inet_interfaces parameter. Note: with Postfix version 2.2 and later specify "inet_interfaces = loopback-only" in main.cf, instead of hard-coding loopback IP address information in master.cf or in main.cf. unix The service listens on a UNIX-domain socket and is accessible for local clients only. The service name is a pathname relative to the Postfix queue directory (pathname con- trolled with the queue_directory configura- tion parameter in main.cf). On Solaris systems the unix type is imple- mented with streams sockets. fifo The service listens on a FIFO (named pipe) and is accessible for local clients only. The service name is a pathname relative to the Postfix queue directory (pathname con- trolled with the queue_directory configura- tion parameter in main.cf). Private (default: y) Whether or not access is restricted to the mail system. Internet (type inet) services can't be private. Unprivileged (default: y) Whether the service runs with root privileges or as the owner of the Postfix system (the owner name is controlled by the mail_owner configuration variable in the main.cf file). The local(8), pipe(8), spawn(8), and virtual(8) daemons require privileges. Chroot (default: y) Whether or not the service runs chrooted to the mail queue directory (pathname is controlled by the queue_directory configuration variable in the main.cf file). Chroot should not be used with the local(8), pipe(8), spawn(8), and virtual(8) daemons. Although the proxymap(8) server can run chrooted, doing so defeats most of the purpose of having that service in the first place. The files in the examples/chroot-setup subdirectory of the Postfix source archive describe how to set up a Postfix chroot environment for your type of machine, and BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README discusses issues related to running daemons chrooted. Wake up time (default: 0) Automatically wake up the named service after the specified number of seconds. The wake up is imple- mented by connecting to the service and sending a wake up request. A ? at the end of the wake-up time field requests that wake up events be sent only to services that are actually being used. Specify 0 for no automatic wake up. The pickup(8), qmgr(8) and flush(8) daemons require a wake up timer. Process limit (default: $default_process_limit) The maximum number of processes that may execute this service simultaneously. Specify 0 for no process count limit. NOTE: Some Postfix services must be configured as a single-process service (for example, qmgr(8)) and some services must be configured with no process limit (for example, cleanup(8)). These limits must not be changed. Command name + arguments The command to be executed. Characters that are special to the shell such as ">" or "|" have no special meaning here, and quotes cannot be used to protect arguments containing whitespace. The command name is relative to the Postfix daemon directory (pathname is controlled by the dae- mon_directory configuration variable). The command argument syntax for specific commands is specified in the respective daemon manual page. The following command-line options have the same effect for all daemon programs: -D Run the daemon under control by the command specified with the debugger_command variable in the main.cf configuration file. See DEBUG_README for hints and tips. -o name=value Override the named main.cf configuration parameter. The parameter value can refer to other parameters as $name etc., just like in main.cf. See postconf(5) for syntax. NOTE 1: do not specify whitespace around the "=". In parameter values, either avoid whitespace altogether, use commas instead of spaces, or consider overrides like "-o name=$override_parameter" with $over- ride_parameter set in main.cf. NOTE 2: Over-zealous use of parameter over- rides makes the Postfix configuration hard to understand and maintain. At a certain point, it might be easier to configure mul- tiple instances of Postfix, instead of con- figuring multiple personalities via mas- ter.cf. -v Increase the verbose logging level. Specify multiple -v options to make a Postfix daemon process increasingly verbose.
