Administrator Guide

Valid mail delivery to external commands

This parameter restricts mail delivery to only those commands specified here. The default is to

disallow delivery to commands specified in :include: files, and allow execution of commands in alias

and forward files. This option correlates to the allow_mail_to_command directive.

Valid mail delivery to external files

This option restricts mail delivery to external files. The default is to disallow delivery to files specified

in :include: but to allow delivery to files specified in aliases and forward files. This option correlates

to the allow_mail_to_files directive.

Default rights of the local delivery agent

This option configures the privileges that the delivery agent will have for delivery to a file or

a command. This option should never be a privileged user or the Postfix owner. This option

corresponds to the default_privs directive and defaults to nobody.

Pathname of user mailbox file

When delivering mail locally, Postfix will drop mail in the directory configured here or in its default

mail spool directory. If you wish to use the maildir format for mail storage, this value can be

appended with a trailing slash. For example, to store mail in the user’s home directory in the Maildir

subdirectory, the value would be Maildir/. This option correlates to the home_mailbox directive and

usually defaults to some location under /var/spool/mail or /var/spool/postfix.

Destination address for unknown recipients

If a message is received for a recipient that does not exist, the message is normally bounced.

However, it is possible to instead have the message delivered to an alternate address. This option

corresponds to the luser_relay directive. Variable expansions matching those discussed for the

Search list for forward are also valid for this directive.

Spool directory

This option specifies the directory where UNIX-style mailboxes are stored. Defaults vary depending

on OS variant and version, but a common choice is /var/spool/mail. This option correlates to the

mail_spool_directory option.

External command to use instead of mailbox delivery

This option defines a command to use for delivery instead of delivering straight to the user’s

mailbox. The command will be run as the recipient of the message with appropriate HOME, SHELL

and LOGNAME environment variables set. This option is commonly used to set up system-wide

usage of procmail. If you use a command to deliver mail to all users, you must configure an alias

for root, as the command will be executed with the permissions of the $default_user. This option

correlates to the mailbox_command directive and is disabled by default.

Optional actual transport to use

This option configures the message transport to use for all local users, whether they are in the UNIX
