    QMQPD(8)                                                              QMQPD(8)

    NAME
           qmqpd - Postfix QMQP server

    SYNOPSIS
           qmqpd [generic Postfix daemon options]

    DESCRIPTION
           The Postfix QMQP server receives one message per connection.  Each mes-
           sage is piped through the cleanup(8) daemon, and  is  placed  into  the
           incoming queue as one single queue file.  The program expects to be run
           from the master(8) process manager.

           The QMQP server implements one access policy:  only  explicitly  autho-
           rized client hosts are allowed to use the service.

    SECURITY
           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.

    DIAGNOSTICS
           Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8) or postlogd(8).

    BUGS
           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.

    CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
           Changes  to  main.cf are picked up automatically, as qmqpd(8) processes
           run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command "postfix reload"
           to speed up a change.
