NAME
trivial-rewrite - Postfix address rewriting and resolving daemon
SYNOPSIS
trivial-rewrite [generic Postfix daemon options]
DESCRIPTION
The trivial-rewrite(8) daemon processes three types of client service requests:
rewrite context address
Rewrite an address to standard form, according to the address rewriting context:
local Append the domain names specified with $myorigin or $mydomain to incomplete
addresses; do swap_bangpath and allow_percent_hack processing as described
below, and strip source routed addresses (@site,@site:user@domain) to
user@domain form.
remote Append the domain name specified with $remote_header_rewrite_domain to in-
complete addresses. Otherwise the result is identical to that of the local
address rewriting context. This prevents Postfix from appending the local
domain to spam from poorly written remote clients.
resolve sender address
Resolve the address to a (transport, nexthop, recipient, flags) quadruple. The
meaning of the results is as follows:
transport
The delivery agent to use. This is the first field of an entry in the mas-
ter.cf file.
nexthop
The host to send to and optional delivery method information.
recipient
The envelope recipient address that is passed on to nexthop.
flags The address class, whether the address requires relaying, whether the ad-
dress has problems, and whether the request failed.
verify sender address
Resolve the address for address verification purposes.
SERVER PROCESS MANAGEMENT
The trivial-rewrite(8) servers run under control by the Postfix master server. Each
server can handle multiple simultaneous connections. When all servers are busy while a
client connects, the master creates a new server process, provided that the trivial-re-
write server process limit is not exceeded. Each trivial-rewrite server terminates after
serving at least $max_use clients of after $max_idle seconds of idle time.
STANDARDS
None. The command does not interact with the outside world.
SECURITY
The trivial-rewrite(8) daemon is not security sensitive. By default, this daemon does not
talk to remote or local users. It can run at a fixed low privilege in a chrooted environ-
ment.
DIAGNOSTICS
Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8) or postlogd(8).
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
On busy mail systems a long time may pass before a main.cf change affecting trivial-re-
write(8) is picked up. Use the command "postfix reload" to speed up a change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details includ-
ing examples.
COMPATIBILITY CONTROLS
resolve_dequoted_address (yes)
Resolve a recipient address safely instead of correctly, by looking inside quotes.
Available with Postfix version 2.1 and later:
resolve_null_domain (no)
Resolve an address that ends in the "@" null domain as if the local hostname were
specified, instead of rejecting the address as invalid.
Available with Postfix version 2.3 and later:
resolve_numeric_domain (no)
Resolve "user@ipaddress" as "user@[ipaddress]", instead of rejecting the address as
invalid.
Available with Postfix version 2.5 and later:
allow_min_user (no)
Allow a sender or recipient address to have `-' as the first character.
ADDRESS REWRITING CONTROLS
myorigin ($myhostname)
The domain name that locally-posted mail appears to come from, and that locally
posted mail is delivered to.
allow_percent_hack (yes)
Enable the rewriting of the form "user%domain" to "user@domain".
append_at_myorigin (yes)
With locally submitted mail, append the string "@$myorigin" to mail addresses with-
out domain information.
append_dot_mydomain (Postfix >= 3.0: no, Postfix < 3.0: yes)
With locally submitted mail, append the string ".$mydomain" to addresses that have
no ".domain" information.
recipient_delimiter (empty)
The set of characters that can separate a user name from its extension (example:
user+foo), or a .forward file name from its extension (example: .forward+foo).
swap_bangpath (yes)
Enable the rewriting of "site!user" into "user@site".
Available in Postfix 2.2 and later:
remote_header_rewrite_domain (empty)
Don't rewrite message headers from remote clients at all when this parameter is
empty; otherwise, rewrite message headers and append the specified domain name to
incomplete addresses.
ROUTING CONTROLS
The following is applicable to Postfix version 2.0 and later. Earlier versions do not
have support for: virtual_transport, relay_transport, virtual_alias_domains, virtual_mail-
box_domains or proxy_interfaces.
local_transport (local:$myhostname)
The default mail delivery transport and next-hop destination for final delivery to
domains listed with mydestination, and for [ipaddress] destinations that match
$inet_interfaces or $proxy_interfaces.
virtual_transport (virtual)
The default mail delivery transport and next-hop destination for final delivery to
domains listed with $virtual_mailbox_domains.
relay_transport (relay)
The default mail delivery transport and next-hop destination for remote delivery to
domains listed with $relay_domains.
default_transport (smtp)
The default mail delivery transport and next-hop destination for destinations that
do not match $mydestination, $inet_interfaces, $proxy_interfaces, $vir-
tual_alias_domains, $virtual_mailbox_domains, or $relay_domains.
parent_domain_matches_subdomains (see 'postconf -d' output)
A list of Postfix features where the pattern "example.com" also matches subdomains
of example.com, instead of requiring an explicit ".example.com" pattern.
relayhost (empty)
The next-hop destination(s) for non-local mail; overrides non-local domains in re-
cipient addresses.
transport_maps (empty)
Optional lookup tables with mappings from recipient address to (message delivery
transport, next-hop destination).
Available in Postfix version 2.3 and later:
sender_dependent_relayhost_maps (empty)
A sender-dependent override for the global relayhost parameter setting.
Available in Postfix version 2.5 and later:
empty_address_relayhost_maps_lookup_key (<>)
The sender_dependent_relayhost_maps search string that will be used instead of the
null sender address.
Available in Postfix version 2.7 and later:
empty_address_default_transport_maps_lookup_key (<>)
The sender_dependent_default_transport_maps search string that will be used instead
of the null sender address.
sender_dependent_default_transport_maps (empty)
A sender-dependent override for the global default_transport parameter setting.
ADDRESS VERIFICATION CONTROLS
Postfix version 2.1 introduces sender and recipient address verification. This feature is
implemented by sending probe email messages that are not actually delivered. By default,
address verification probes use the same route as regular mail. To override specific as-
pects of message routing for address verification probes, specify one or more of the fol-
lowing:
address_verify_local_transport ($local_transport)
Overrides the local_transport parameter setting for address verification probes.
address_verify_virtual_transport ($virtual_transport)
Overrides the virtual_transport parameter setting for address verification probes.
address_verify_relay_transport ($relay_transport)
Overrides the relay_transport parameter setting for address verification probes.
address_verify_default_transport ($default_transport)
Overrides the default_transport parameter setting for address verification probes.
address_verify_relayhost ($relayhost)
Overrides the relayhost parameter setting for address verification probes.
address_verify_transport_maps ($transport_maps)
Overrides the transport_maps parameter setting for address verification probes.
Available in Postfix version 2.3 and later:
address_verify_sender_dependent_relayhost_maps ($sender_dependent_relayhost_maps)
Overrides the sender_dependent_relayhost_maps parameter setting for address verifi-
cation probes.
Available in Postfix version 2.7 and later:
address_verify_sender_dependent_default_transport_maps ($sender_dependent_default_trans-
port_maps)
Overrides the sender_dependent_default_transport_maps parameter setting for address
verification probes.
