CLEANUP(8postfix) CLEANUP(8postfix)
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 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, 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 vir-
tual(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 rela-
tionships.
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 includ-
ing examples.
COMPATIBILITY CONTROLS

no To: or Cc: message header.

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).

a general content filter.
