CLEANUP(8)		    System Manager's Manual		    CLEANUP(8)



NAME
       cleanup - canonicalize and enqueue Postfix message

SYNOPSIS
       cleanup [generic Postfix daemon options]

DESCRIPTION
       The  cleanup(8)	daemon	processes  inbound  mail,  inserts it into the
       incoming mail queue, and informs the queue manager of its arrival.

       The cleanup(8) daemon always performs the following transformations:

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

       o      Transform	  envelope   and  header  addresses  to	 the  standard
	      user@fully-qualified-domain form that is expected by other Post-
	      fix  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, except
	      for user names listed in	masquerade_exceptions).	  By  default,
	      address masquerading does not affect envelope recipients.

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

       The cleanup(8) 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(8) daemon to
       bounce the message back to the sender in case of trouble.

STANDARDS
       RFC 822 (ARPA Internet Text Messages)
       RFC 2045 (MIME: Format of Internet Message Bodies)
       RFC 2046 (MIME: Media Types)
       RFC 3463 (Enhanced Status Codes)
       RFC 3464 (Delivery status notifications)

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
       Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically, as cleanup(8) processes
       run for only a limited 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 including examples.

COMPATIBILITY CONTROLS
       undisclosed_recipients_header (To: undisclosed-recipients:;)

       enable_errors_to (no)
	      Report  mail  delivery  errors to the address specified with the
	      non-standard Errors-To: message header, instead of the  envelope
	      sender  address  (this  feature  is removed with Postfix version
	      2.2, is turned off by default with Postfix version 2.1,  and  is
	      always turned on with older Postfix versions).

       Available in Postfix version 2.6 and later:

BEFORE QUEUE MILTER CONTROLS
       As of version 2.3, Postfix supports the Sendmail version 8 Milter (mail
       filter) protocol. When mail is not received via	the  smtpd(8)  server,
