   7 POSTDROP(1)                                                        POSTDROP(1)
   8
   9 <b>NAME</b>
  10        postdrop - Postfix mail posting utility
  11
  12 <b>SYNOPSIS</b>
  13        <b>postdrop</b> [<b>-rv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>]
  14
  15 <b>DESCRIPTION</b>
  16        The  <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a>  command  creates  a file in the <b>maildrop</b>
  17        directory and copies its standard input to the file.
  18
  19        Options:
  20
  21        <b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
  22               The <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration  file  is  in  the  named
  23               directory  instead  of  the  default  configuration
  24               directory. See  also  the  MAIL_CONFIG  environment
  25               setting below.
  26
  27        <b>-r</b>     Use  a  Postfix-internal  protocol  for reading the
  28               message from standard input, and for reporting sta-
  29               tus  information  on  standard output. This is cur-
  30               rently the only supported method.
  31
  32        <b>-v</b>     Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Mul-
  33               tiple  <b>-v</b>  options  make  the software increasingly
  34               verbose. As of Postfix 2.3, this option  is  avail-
  35               able for the super-user only.
  36
  37 <b>SECURITY</b>
  38        The  command  is  designed to run with set-group ID privi-
  39        leges, so that it can write to the <b>maildrop</b>  queue  direc-
  40        tory  and  so  that  it can connect to Postfix daemon pro-
  41        cesses.
  42
  43 <b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
  44        Fatal errors: malformed input, I/O error, out  of  memory.
  45        Problems  are  logged  to  <b>syslogd</b>(8)  and to the standard
  46        error stream.  When the input is incomplete, or  when  the
  47        process  receives  a  HUP,  INT,  QUIT or TERM signal, the
  48        queue file is deleted.
  49
  50 <b>ENVIRONMENT</b>
  51        MAIL_CONFIG
  52               Directory with the <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file. In order to  avoid
  53               exploitation  of  set-group  ID  privileges, a non-
  54               standard directory is allowed only if:
  55
  56               <b>o</b>      The name is listed in the  standard  <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a>
  57                      file  with  the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#alternate_config_directories">alternate_config_directories</a></b>
  58                      configuration parameter.
  59
  60               <b>o</b>      The command is invoked by the super-user.
