ERROR(8)                                                                                            ERROR(8)



NAME
       error - Postfix error/retry mail delivery agent

SYNOPSIS
       error [generic Postfix daemon options]

DESCRIPTION
       The  Postfix error(8) delivery agent processes delivery requests from the queue manager. Each request
       specifies a queue file, a sender address, the reason for non-delivery (specified as the next-hop des-tination), destination),
       tination),  and recipient information.  The reason may be prefixed with an RFC 3463-compatible detail
       code; if none is specified a default 4.0.0 or 5.0.0 code is used instead.  This program expects to be
       run from the master(8) process manager.

       Depending  on the service name in master.cf, error or retry, the server bounces or defers all recipi-ents recipients
       ents in the delivery request using the "next-hop" information as the  reason  for  non-delivery.  The
       retry service name is supported as of Postfix 2.4.

       Delivery status reports are sent to the bounce(8), defer(8) or trace(8) daemon as appropriate.

SECURITY
       The  error(8)  mailer  is  not  security-sensitive.  It  does not talk to the network, and can be run
       chrooted at fixed low privilege.

STANDARDS
       RFC 3463 (Enhanced Status Codes)

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

       Depending on the setting of the notify_classes parameter, the postmaster is notified of  bounces  and
       of other trouble.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
       Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically as error(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  exam-ples. examples.
