The <b>cleanup</b> daemon always performs the following transfor- mations: <b>o</b> Insert missing message headers: (<b>Resent-</b>) <b>From:</b>, <b>To:</b>, <b>Message-Id:</b>, and <b>Date:</b>. <b>o</b> Transform envelope and header addresses to the standard <i>user@fully-qualified-domain</i> form that is expected by other Postfix programs. This task is delegated to the <a href="trivial-rewrite.8.html"><b>trivial-rewrite</b>(8)</a> daemon. <b>o</b> Eliminate duplicate envelope recipient addresses. The following address transformations are optional: <b>o</b> Optionally, rewrite all envelope and header addresses according to the mappings specified in the <a href="canonical.5.html"><b>canonical</b>(5)</a> lookup tables. <b>o</b> Optionally, masquerade envelope sender addresses and message header addresses (i.e. strip host or domain information below all domains listed in the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#masquerade_domains">masquerade_domains</a></b> parameter, except for user names listed in <b><a href="postconf.5.html#masquerade_exceptions">masquerade_exceptions</a></b>). By default, address masquerading does not affect envelope recipients. <b>o</b> Optionally, expand envelope recipients according to information found in the <a href="virtual.5.html"><b>virtual</b>(5)</a> lookup tables. The <b>cleanup</b> 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 <b>cleanup</b> daemon to bounce the message back to the sender in case of trouble. <b>STANDARDS</b> <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html">RFC 822</a> (ARPA Internet Text Messages) <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html">RFC 2045</a> (MIME: Format of Internet Message Bodies) <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2046.html">RFC 2046</a> (MIME: Media Types) <b>DIAGNOSTICS</b> Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8). <b>BUGS</b> Table-driven rewriting rules make it hard to express <b>if</b> <b>then else</b> and other logical relationships. <b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b> Changes to <b>main.cf</b> are picked up automatically, as <a href="cleanup.8.html">cleanup(8)</a> processes run for only a limited amount of time.
