TRIVIAL-REWRITE(8)					    TRIVIAL-REWRITE(8)

NAME
       trivial-rewrite - Postfix address rewriting and resolving daemon

SYNOPSIS
       trivial-rewrite [generic Postfix daemon options]

DESCRIPTION
       The  trivial-rewrite(8)	daemon processes three types of client service
       requests:

       rewrite context address
	      Rewrite an address to standard form, according  to  the  address
	      rewriting context:

	      local  Append  the  domain  names	 specified  with  $myorigin or
		     $mydomain to incomplete addresses; do  swap_bangpath  and
		     allow_percent_hack	 processing  as	 described  below, and
		     strip source routed  addresses  (@site,@site:user@domain)
		     to user@domain form.

	      remote Append  the domain name specified with $remote_header_re‐
		     write_domain  to  incomplete  addresses.  Otherwise   the
		     result  is identical to that of the local address rewrit‐
		     ing context. This prevents	 Postfix  from	appending  the
		     local domain to spam from poorly written remote clients.

       resolve sender address
	      Resolve  the address to a (transport, nexthop, recipient, flags)
	      quadruple. The meaning of the results is as follows:

	      transport
		     The delivery agent to use. This is the first field of  an
		     entry in the master.cf file.

	      nexthop
		     The host to send to and optional delivery method informa‐
		     tion.

	      recipient
		     The envelope recipient address that is passed on to  nex‐
		     thop.

	      flags  The address class, whether the address requires relaying,
		     whether the address has problems, and whether the request
		     failed.

       verify sender address
	      Resolve the address for address verification purposes.

SERVER PROCESS MANAGEMENT
       The  trivial-rewrite(8) servers run under control by the Postfix master
       server.	Each server  can  handle  multiple  simultaneous  connections.
       When all servers are busy while a client connects, the master creates a
       new server process, provided that the  trivial-rewrite  server  process
       limit  is  not  exceeded.  Each trivial-rewrite server terminates after
       serving at least $max_use clients of after $max_idle  seconds  of  idle
       time.

STANDARDS
       None. The command does not interact with the outside world.

SECURITY
       The  trivial-rewrite(8)	daemon is not security sensitive.  By default,
       this daemon does not talk to remote or local users.  It can  run	 at  a
       fixed low privilege in a chrooted environment.

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

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
       On  busy	 mail  systems	a  long	 time may pass before a main.cf change
       affecting trivial-rewrite(8) is picked up.  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
       resolve_dequoted_address (yes)
	      Resolve a recipient address  safely  instead  of	correctly,  by
	      looking inside quotes.

       resolve_null_domain (no)
	      Resolve  an  address  that ends in the "@" null domain as if the
	      local hostname were specified, instead of rejecting the  address
	      as invalid.

       resolve_numeric_domain (no)
	      Resolve	"user@ipaddress"  as  "user@[ipaddress]",  instead  of
	      rejecting the address as invalid.

       Available with Postfix version 2.5 and later:

       allow_min_user (no)
	      Allow a sender or recipient address to have  `-'	as  the	 first
	      character.

ADDRESS REWRITING CONTROLS
       myorigin ($myhostname)
	      The  domain  name that locally-posted mail appears to come from,
	      and that locally posted mail is delivered to.

       allow_percent_hack (yes)
	      Enable the rewriting of the form "user%domain" to "user@domain".

       append_at_myorigin (yes)
	      With locally submitted mail, append the string  "@$myorigin"  to
	      mail addresses without domain information.

       append_dot_mydomain (yes)
	      With  locally  submitted mail, append the string ".$mydomain" to
	      addresses that have no ".domain" information.

       recipient_delimiter (empty)
	      The  separator  between  user  names  and	  address   extensions
	      (user+foo).

       swap_bangpath (yes)
	      Enable the rewriting of "site!user" into "user@site".

       Available in Postfix 2.2 and later:

       remote_header_rewrite_domain (empty)
	      Don't  rewrite  message  headers from remote clients at all when
	      this parameter is empty; otherwise, rewrite message headers  and
	      append the specified domain name to incomplete addresses.

ROUTING CONTROLS
       The  following is applicable to Postfix version 2.0 and later.  Earlier
       versions do not have support for:  virtual_transport,  relay_transport,
       virtual_alias_domains, virtual_mailbox_domains or proxy_interfaces.

       local_transport (local:$myhostname)
	      The default mail delivery transport and next-hop destination for
	      final delivery to domains listed	with  mydestination,  and  for
	      [ipaddress]   destinations   that	  match	  $inet_interfaces  or
	      $proxy_interfaces.

       virtual_transport (virtual)
	      The default mail delivery transport and next-hop destination for
	      final delivery to domains listed with $virtual_mailbox_domains.

       relay_transport (relay)

	      remote delivery to domains listed with $relay_domains.

       default_transport (smtp)
	      The default mail delivery transport and next-hop destination for
	      destinations that do not match $mydestination, $inet_interfaces,
	      $proxy_interfaces,    $virtual_alias_domains,	$virtual_mail‐
	      box_domains, or $relay_domains.

       parent_domain_matches_subdomains (see 'postconf -d' output)
	      What Postfix features match subdomains of "domain.tld" automati‐
	      cally, instead of requiring an explicit ".domain.tld" pattern.

       relayhost (empty)
	      The next-hop destination of non-local mail; overrides  non-local
	      domains in recipient addresses.

       transport_maps (empty)
	      Optional	lookup	tables with mappings from recipient address to
	      (message delivery transport, next-hop destination).

       Available in Postfix version 2.3 and later:

       sender_dependent_relayhost_maps (empty)
	      A sender-dependent override for the global  relayhost  parameter
	      setting.

       empty_address_relayhost_maps_lookup_key (<>)
	      The  sender_dependent_relayhost_maps  search string that will be
	      used instead of the null sender address.

ADDRESS VERIFICATION CONTROLS
       Postfix version 2.1 introduces sender and recipient  address  verifica‐
       tion.  This feature is implemented by sending probe email messages that
       are not actually delivered.  By default,	 address  verification	probes
       use  the	 same  route  as regular mail. To override specific aspects of
       message routing for address verification probes, specify one or more of
       the following:

       address_verify_local_transport ($local_transport)
	      Overrides the local_transport parameter setting for address ver‐
	      ification probes.

       address_verify_virtual_transport ($virtual_transport)
	      Overrides the virtual_transport parameter	 setting  for  address
	      verification probes.

       address_verify_relay_transport ($relay_transport)
	      Overrides the relay_transport parameter setting for address ver‐
	      ification probes.

       address_verify_default_transport ($default_transport)
	      Overrides the default_transport parameter	 setting  for  address
	      verification probes.

       address_verify_relayhost ($relayhost)
	      Overrides	 the relayhost parameter setting for address verifica‐
	      tion probes.

       address_verify_transport_maps ($transport_maps)
	      Overrides the transport_maps parameter setting for address veri‐
	      fication probes.

       Available in Postfix version 2.3 and later:

       address_verify_sender_dependent_relayhost_maps	       ($sender_depen‐
       dent_relayhost_maps)
	      Overrides the sender_dependent_relayhost_maps parameter  setting
	      for address verification probes.

MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS
