| POSTDROP(1) | POSTDROP(1) |
Options:
| -c config_dir | The main.cf configuration file is in the named directory instead of the default configuration directory. See also the MAIL_CONFIG environment setting below. |
| -r | Use a Postfix-internal protocol for reading the message from standard input, and for reporting status information on standard output. This is currently the only supported method. |
| -v | Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple -v options make the software increasingly verbose. As of Postfix 2.3, this option is available for the super-user only. |
| MAIL_CONFIG | Directory with the main.cf file. In order to avoid exploitation of set-group ID privileges, a non-standard directory is allowed only if: |
| • | The name is listed in the standard main.cf file with the alternate_config_directories configuration parameter. |
| • | The command is invoked by the super-user. |
| alternate_config_directories (empty) | A list of non-default Postfix configuration directories that may be specified with "-c config_directory" on the command line, or via the MAIL_CONFIG environment parameter. |
| config_directory (see 'postconf -d' output) | The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf configuration files. |
| import_environment (see 'postconf -d' output) | The list of environment parameters that a Postfix process will import from a non-Postfix parent process. |
| queue_directory (see 'postconf -d' output) | The location of the Postfix top-level queue directory. |
| syslog_facility (mail) | The syslog facility of Postfix logging. |
| syslog_name (see 'postconf -d' output) | The mail system name that is prepended to the process name in syslog records, so that "smtpd" becomes, for example, "postfix/smtpd". |
| trigger_timeout (10s) | The time limit for sending a trigger to a Postfix daemon (for example, the pickup(8) or qmgr(8) daemon). |
Available in Postfix version 2.2 and later:
| authorized_submit_users (static:anyone) | List of users who are authorized to submit mail with the sendmail(1) command (and with the privileged postdrop(1) helper command). |
