CLEANUP(8)                                             CLEANUP(8)


NAME
       cleanup - canonicalize and enqueue Postfix message

SYNOPSIS
       cleanup [generic Postfix daemon options]

DESCRIPTION
       The cleanup daemon processes inbound mail, inserts it into
       the incoming mail queue, and informs the queue manager  of
       its arrival.

       The cleanup daemon always performs the following transfor-
       mations:

       o      Insert missing message  headers:  (Resent-)  From:,
              Message-Id:, and Date:.

       o      Extract envelope recipient addresses from (Resent-)
              To:, Cc: and Bcc: message headers when  no  recipi-
              ents are specified in the message envelope.

       o      Transform  envelope  and  header  addresses  to the
              standard user@fully-qualified-domain form  that  is
              expected  by  other Postfix programs.  This task is
              delegated to the trivial-rewrite(8) daemon.

       o      Eliminate duplicate envelope recipient addresses.

       The following address transformations are optional:

       o      Optionally,  rewrite  all   envelope   and   header
              addresses  according  to  the mappings specified in
              the canonical(5) lookup tables.

       o      Optionally, masquerade  envelope  sender  addresses
              and  message  header  addresses (i.e. strip host or
              domain information below all domains listed in  the
              masquerade_domains  parameter).  Address masquerad-
              ing does not affect envelope recipients.

       o      Optionally, expand envelope recipients according to
              information  found in the virtual(5) lookup tables.

       The cleanup daemon performs sanity checks on  the  content
       of  each  message.  When it finds a problem, by default it
       returns a diagnostic status to the client, and  leaves  it
       up  to the client to deal with the problem. Alternatively,
       the client can request the cleanup daemon  to  bounce  the
       message back to the sender in case of trouble.

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

BUGS
       Table-driven  rewriting  rules  make it hard to express if
       then else and other logical relationships.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
       The following main.cf parameters are  especially  relevant
       to  this  program. See the Postfix main.cf file for syntax
       details and for default values.  Use  the  postfix  reload
       command after a configuration change.

Miscellaneous
       hopcount_limit
              Limit the number of Received: message headers.

Address transformations
       canonical_maps
              Address mapping lookup table for sender and recipi-
              ent addresses in envelopes and headers.

       recipient_canonical_maps
              Address  mapping  lookup  table  for  envelope  and
              header recipient addresses.

       sender_canonical_maps
              Address  mapping  lookup  table  for  envelope  and
              header sender addresses.

       masquerade_domains
              List of domains that hide  their  subdomain  struc-
              ture.

       virtual_maps
              Address mapping lookup table for envelope recipient
              addresses.

Resource controls
       duplicate_filter_limit
              Limit the number of envelope  recipients  that  are
              remembered.

       header_size_limit
              Limit the amount of memory in bytes used to process
              a message header.
