/* NAME
/*	error 8
/* SUMMARY
/*	Postfix error mail delivery agent
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	\fBerror\fR [generic Postfix daemon options]
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	The Postfix error delivery agent processes delivery requests from
/*	the queue manager. Each request specifies a queue file, a sender
/*	address, a domain or host name that is treated as the reason for
/*	non-delivery, and recipient information.
/*	This program expects to be run from the \fBmaster\fR(8) process
/*	manager.
/*
/*	The error delivery agent bounces all recipients in the delivery
/*	request using the "next-hop"
/*	domain or host information as the reason for non-delivery, updates
/*	the queue file and marks recipients as finished or informs the
/*	queue manager that delivery should be tried again at a later time.
/*
/*	Delivery status reports are sent to the \fBbounce\fR(8),
/*	\fBdefer\fR(8) or \fBtrace\fR(8) daemon as appropriate.
/* SECURITY
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The error mailer is not security-sensitive. It does not talk
/*	to the network, and can be run chrooted at fixed low privilege.
/* STANDARDS
/*	None.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Problems and transactions are logged to \fBsyslogd\fR(8).
/*
/*	Depending on the setting of the \fBnotify_classes\fR parameter,
/*	the postmaster is notified of bounces and of other trouble.
/* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	Changes to \fBmain.cf\fR are picked up automatically as error(8)
/*      processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command
/*      "\fBpostfix reload\fR" to speed up a change.
/*
/*	The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
/*	postconf(5) for more details including examples.
/* .IP "\fB2bounce_notice_recipient (postmaster)\fR"
/*	The recipient of undeliverable mail that cannot be returned to
/*	the sender.
/* .IP "\fBbounce_notice_recipient (postmaster)\fR"
/*	The recipient of postmaster notifications with the message headers
/*	of mail that Postfix did not deliver and of SMTP conversation
/*	transcripts of mail that Postfix did not receive.
/* .IP "\fBconfig_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
/*	The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf
/*	configuration files.
/* .IP "\fBdaemon_timeout (18000s)\fR"
/*	How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a
/*	request before it is terminated by a built-in watchdog timer.
/* .IP "\fBdouble_bounce_sender (double-bounce)\fR"
/*	The sender address of postmaster notifications that are generated
/*	by the mail system.
/* .IP "\fBipc_timeout (3600s)\fR"
/*	The time limit for sending or receiving information over an internal
/*	communication channel.
/* .IP "\fBmax_idle (100s)\fR"
/*	The maximum amount of time that an idle Postfix daemon process
/*	waits for the next service request before exiting.
/* .IP "\fBmax_use (100)\fR"
/*	The maximal number of connection requests before a Postfix daemon
/*	process terminates.
/* .IP "\fBnotify_classes (resource, software)\fR"
/*	The list of error classes that are reported to the postmaster.
/* .IP "\fBprocess_id (read-only)\fR"
/*	The process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process.
/* .IP "\fBprocess_name (read-only)\fR"
/*	The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process.
/* .IP "\fBqueue_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
/*	The location of the Postfix top-level queue directory.
/* .IP "\fBsyslog_facility (mail)\fR"
/*	The syslog facility of Postfix logging.
/* .IP "\fBsyslog_name (postfix)\fR"
/*	The mail system name that is prepended to the process name in syslog
/*	records, so that "smtpd" becomes, for example, "postfix/smtpd".
