QMQPD(8) QMQPD(8)
<b>NAME</b>
qmqpd - Postfix QMQP server
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>qmqpd</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The Postfix QMQP server receives one message per connection. Each mes-
sage is piped through the <a href="cleanup.8.html"><b>cleanup</b>(8)</a> daemon, and is placed into the
<a href="QSHAPE_README.html#incoming_queue"><b>incoming</b> queue</a> as one single queue file. The program expects to be run
from the <a href="master.8.html"><b>master</b>(8)</a> process manager.
The QMQP server implements one access policy: only explicitly autho-
rized client hosts are allowed to use the service.
<b>SECURITY</b>
The QMQP server is moderately security-sensitive. It talks to QMQP
clients and to DNS servers on the network. The QMQP server can be run
chrooted at fixed low privilege.
<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8).
<b>BUGS</b>
The QMQP protocol provides only one server reply per message delivery.
It is therefore not possible to reject individual recipients.
The QMQP protocol requires the server to receive the entire message
before replying. If a message is malformed, or if any netstring compo-
nent is longer than acceptable, Postfix replies immediately and closes
the connection. It is left up to the client to handle the situation.
<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
Changes to <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> are picked up automatically, as <a href="qmqpd.8.html"><b>qmqpd</b>(8)</a> processes
run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "<b>postfix reload</b>"
to speed up a change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>postconf</b>(5)</a> for
more details including examples.
