SCACHE(8postfix) SCACHE(8postfix)
NAME
scache - Postfix shared connection cache server
SYNOPSIS
scache [generic Postfix daemon options]
DESCRIPTION
The scache(8) server maintains a shared multi-connection cache. This information can be
used by, for example, Postfix SMTP clients or other Postfix delivery agents.
The connection cache is organized into logical destination names, physical endpoint names,
and connections.
As a specific example, logical SMTP destinations specify (transport, domain, port), and
physical SMTP endpoints specify (transport, IP address, port). An SMTP connection may be
saved after a successful mail transaction.
In the general case, one logical destination may refer to zero or more physical endpoints,
one physical endpoint may be referenced by zero or more logical destinations, and one end-
point may refer to zero or more connections.
The exact syntax of a logical destination or endpoint name is application dependent; the
scache(8) server does not care. A connection is stored as a file descriptor together with
application-dependent information that is needed to re-activate a connection object.
Again, the scache(8) server is completely unaware of the details of that information.
All information is stored with a finite time to live (ttl). The connection cache daemon
terminates when no client is connected for max_idle time units.
This server implements the following requests:
save_endp ttl endpoint endpoint_properties file_descriptor
Save the specified file descriptor and connection property data under the specified
endpoint name. The endpoint properties are used by the client to re-activate a pas-
sivated connection object.
find_endp endpoint
Look up cached properties and a cached file descriptor for the specified endpoint.
save_dest ttl destination destination_properties endpoint
Save the binding between a logical destination and an endpoint under the destina-
tion name, together with destination specific connection properties. The destina-
tion properties are used by the client to re-activate a passivated connection ob-
ject.
find_dest destination
Look up cached destination properties, cached endpoint properties, and a cached
file descriptor for the specified logical destination.
SECURITY
The scache(8) server is not security-sensitive. It does not talk to the network, and it
does not talk to local users. The scache(8) server can run chrooted at fixed low privi-
lege.
The scache(8) server is not a trusted process. It must not be used to store information
that is security sensitive.
DIAGNOSTICS
Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8) or postlogd(8).
BUGS
The session cache cannot be shared among multiple machines.
When a connection expires from the cache, it is closed without the appropriate protocol
specific handshake.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically as scache(8) processes run for only a lim-
ited amount of time. 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.
RESOURCE CONTROLS
connection_cache_ttl_limit (2s)
The maximal time-to-live value that the scache(8) connection cache server allows.
connection_cache_status_update_time (600s)
How frequently the scache(8) server logs usage statistics with connection cache hit
and miss rates for logical destinations and for physical endpoints.
MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS
config_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)
The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf configuration files.
daemon_timeout (18000s)
How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a request before it is
terminated by a built-in watchdog timer.
ipc_timeout (3600s)
The time limit for sending or receiving information over an internal communication
channel.
max_idle (100s)
The maximum amount of time that an idle Postfix daemon process waits for an incom-
ing connection before terminating voluntarily.
process_id (read-only)
The process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process.
process_name (read-only)
The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process.
syslog_facility (mail)
The syslog facility of Postfix logging.
syslog_name (see 'postconf -d' output)
A prefix that is prepended to the process name in syslog records, so that, for ex-
ample, "smtpd" becomes "prefix/smtpd".
Available in Postfix 3.3 and later:
service_name (read-only)
The master.cf service name of a Postfix daemon process.
