/*++ /* NAME /* virtual 8 /* SUMMARY /* Postfix virtual domain mail delivery agent /* SYNOPSIS /* \fBvirtual\fR [generic Postfix daemon options] /* DESCRIPTION /* The \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent is designed for virtual mail /* hosting services. Originally based on the Postfix \fBlocal\fR(8) /* delivery /* agent, this agent looks up recipients with map lookups of their /* full recipient address, instead of using hard-coded unix password /* file lookups of the address local part only. /* /* This delivery agent only delivers mail. Other features such as /* mail forwarding, out-of-office notifications, etc., must be /* configured via virtual_alias maps or via similar lookup mechanisms. /* MAILBOX LOCATION /* .ad /* .fi /* The mailbox location is controlled by the \fBvirtual_mailbox_base\fR /* and \fBvirtual_mailbox_maps\fR configuration parameters (see below). /* The \fBvirtual_mailbox_maps\fR table is indexed by the recipient /* address as described under TABLE SEARCH ORDER below. /* /* The mailbox pathname is constructed as follows: /* /* .nf /* \fB$virtual_mailbox_base/$virtual_mailbox_maps(\fIrecipient\fB)\fR /* .fi /* /* where \fIrecipient\fR is the full recipient address. /* UNIX MAILBOX FORMAT /* .ad /* .fi /* When the mailbox location does not end in \fB/\fR, the message /* is delivered in UNIX mailbox format. This format stores multiple /* messages in one textfile. /* /* The \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent prepends a "\fBFrom \fIsender /* time_stamp\fR" envelope header to each message, prepends a /* \fBDelivered-To:\fR message header with the envelope recipient /* address, /* prepends an \fBX-Original-To:\fR header with the recipient address as /* given to Postfix, /* prepends a \fBReturn-Path:\fR message header with the /* envelope sender address, prepends a \fB>\fR character to lines /* beginning with "\fBFrom \fR", and appends an empty line. /* /* The mailbox is locked for exclusive access while delivery is in /* progress. In case of problems, an attempt is made to truncate the /* mailbox to its original length. /* QMAIL MAILDIR FORMAT /* .ad /* .fi /* When the mailbox location ends in \fB/\fR, the message is delivered /* in qmail \fBmaildir\fR format. This format stores one message per file. /* /* The \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent prepends a \fBDelivered-To:\fR /* message header with the final envelope recipient address, /* prepends an \fBX-Original-To:\fR header with the recipient address as /* given to Postfix, and prepends a /* \fBReturn-Path:\fR message header with the envelope sender address. /* /* By definition, \fBmaildir\fR format does not require application-level /* file locking during mail delivery or retrieval. /* MAILBOX OWNERSHIP /* .ad /* .fi /* Mailbox ownership is controlled by the \fBvirtual_uid_maps\fR /* and \fBvirtual_gid_maps\fR lookup tables, which are indexed /* with the full recipient address. Each table provides /* a string with the numerical user and group ID, respectively. /* /* The \fBvirtual_minimum_uid\fR parameter imposes a lower bound on /* numerical user ID values that may be specified in any /* \fBvirtual_uid_maps\fR. /* CASE FOLDING /* .ad /* .fi /* All delivery decisions are made using the full recipient /* address, folded to lower case. See also the next section /* for a few exceptions with optional address extensions. /* TABLE SEARCH ORDER /* .ad /* .fi /* Normally, a lookup table is specified as a text file that /* serves as input to the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command. The result, an /* indexed file in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format, is used for fast /* searching by the mail system. /* /* The search order is as follows. The search stops /* upon the first successful lookup. /* .IP \(bu /* When the recipient has an optional address extension the /* \fIuser+extension@domain.tld\fR address is looked up first. /* .sp /* With Postfix versions before 2.1, the optional address extension /* is always ignored. /* .IP \(bu /* The \fIuser@domain.tld\fR address, without address extension, /* is looked up next. /* .IP \(bu /* Finally, the recipient \fI@domain\fR is looked up. /* .PP /* When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP /* or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files. /* /* Alternatively, a table can be provided as a regular-expression /* map where patterns are given as regular expressions. In that case, /* only the full recipient address is given to the regular-expression /* map. /* SECURITY /* .ad /* .fi /* The \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent is not security sensitive, provided /* that the lookup tables with recipient user/group ID information are /* adequately protected. This program is not designed to run chrooted. /* /* The \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent disallows regular expression /* substitution of $1 etc. in regular expression lookup tables, /* because that would open a security hole. /* /* The \fBvirtual\fR(8) delivery agent will silently ignore requests /* to use the \fBproxymap\fR(8) server. Instead it will open the /* table directly. Before Postfix version 2.2, the virtual /* delivery agent will terminate with a fatal error. /* STANDARDS /* RFC 822 (ARPA Internet Text Messages) /* DIAGNOSTICS /* Mail bounces when the recipient has no mailbox or when the /* recipient is over disk quota. In all other problem cases, mail for /* an existing recipient is deferred and a warning is logged. /* /* Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8) /* or \fBpostlogd\fR(8). /* Corrupted message files are marked so that the queue /* manager can move them to the \fBcorrupt\fR queue afterwards. /* /* Depending on the setting of the \fBnotify_classes\fR parameter, /* the postmaster is notified of bounces and of other trouble. /* BUGS /* This delivery agent supports address extensions in email /* addresses and in lookup table keys, but does not propagate /* address extension information to the result of table lookup. /* /* Postfix should have lookup tables that can return multiple result /* attributes. In order to avoid the inconvenience of maintaining /* three tables, use an LDAP or MYSQL database. /* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS /* .ad /* .fi /* Changes to \fBmain.cf\fR are picked up automatically, as /* \fBvirtual\fR(8) /* processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command /* "\fBpostfix reload\fR" to speed up a change. /* /* The text below provides only a parameter summary.
