CLEANUP(8)                                                          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  man-
       ager of its arrival.

       The cleanup(8) daemon always performs the following trans-
       formations:

       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 virtual(5) lookup tables.

       The cleanup(8) daemon performs sanity checks on  the  con-
       tent  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. Alterna-
       tively, 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 2822 (Internet Message Format)
       RFC 3463 (Enhanced Status Codes)
       RFC 3464 (Delivery status notifications)
       RFC 5322 (Internet Message Format)

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 (see 'postconf -d' output)
              Message  header  that the Postfix cleanup(8) server

              (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  ver-
