PIPE(8) PIPE(8)
NAME
pipe - Postfix delivery to external command
SYNOPSIS
pipe [generic Postfix daemon options] command_attributes...
DESCRIPTION
The pipe(8) daemon processes requests from the Postfix queue manager to deliver messages to external
commands. This program expects to be run from the master(8) process manager.
Message attributes such as sender address, recipient address and next-hop host name can be specified
as command-line macros that are expanded before the external command is executed.
The pipe(8) daemon updates queue files and marks recipients as finished, or it informs the queue man-ager manager
ager that delivery should be tried again at a later time. Delivery status reports are sent to the
bounce(8), defer(8) or trace(8) daemon as appropriate.
SINGLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY
Some destinations cannot handle more than one recipient per delivery request. Examples are pagers or
fax machines. In addition, multi-recipient delivery is undesirable when prepending a Delivered-to:
or X-Original-To: message header.
To prevent Postfix from sending multiple recipients per delivery request, specify
transport_destination_recipient_limit = 1
in the Postfix main.cf file, where transport is the name in the first column of the Postfix master.cf
entry for the pipe-based delivery transport.
COMMAND ATTRIBUTE SYNTAX
The external command attributes are given in the master.cf file at the end of a service definition.
The syntax is as follows:
chroot=pathname (optional)
Change the process root directory and working directory to the named directory. This happens
before switching to the privileges specified with the user attribute, and before executing the
optional directory=pathname directive. Delivery is deferred in case of failure.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.3.
directory=pathname (optional)
Change to the named directory before executing the external command. The directory must be
accessible for the user specified with the user attribute (see below). The default working
directory is $queue_directory. Delivery is deferred in case of failure.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.2.
eol=string (optional, default: \n)
The output record delimiter. Typically one would use either \r\n or \n. The usual C-style
backslash escape sequences are recognized: \a \b \f \n \r \t \v \ddd (up to three octal dig-its) digits)
its) and \\.
flags=BDFORXhqu.> (optional)
Optional message processing flags. By default, a message is copied unchanged.
B Append a blank line at the end of each message. This is required by some mail user
agents that recognize "From " lines only when preceded by a blank line.
D Prepend a "Delivered-To: recipient" message header with the envelope recipient address.
Note: for this to work, the transport_destination_recipient_limit must be 1 (see SIN-GLE-RECIPIENT SINGLE-RECIPIENT
GLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY above for details).
The D flag also enforces loop detection (Postfix 2.5 and later): if a message already
contains a Delivered-To: header with the same recipient address, then the message is
returned as undeliverable. The address comparison is case insensitive.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.0.
F Prepend a "From sender time_stamp" envelope header to the message content. This is
expected by, for example, UUCP software.
O Prepend an "X-Original-To: recipient" message header with the recipient address as
given to Postfix. Note: for this to work, the transport_destination_recipient_limit
must be 1 (see SINGLE-RECIPIENT DELIVERY above for details).
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.0.
R Prepend a Return-Path: message header with the envelope sender address.
X Indicate that the external command performs final delivery. This flag affects the sta-tus status
tus reported in "success" DSN (delivery status notification) messages, and changes it
from "relayed" into "delivered".
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.5.
h Fold the command-line $original_recipient and $recipient address domain part (text to
the right of the right-most @ character) to lower case; fold the entire command-line
$domain and $nexthop host or domain information to lower case. This is recommended for
delivery via UUCP.
q Quote white space and other special characters in the command-line $sender, $origi-nal_recipient $original_recipient
nal_recipient and $recipient address localparts (text to the left of the right-most @
character), according to an 8-bit transparent version of RFC 822. This is recommended
for delivery via UUCP or BSMTP.
The result is compatible with the address parsing of command-line recipients by the
Postfix sendmail(1) mail submission command.
The q flag affects only entire addresses, not the partial address information from the
$user, $extension or $mailbox command-line macros.
u Fold the command-line $original_recipient and $recipient address localpart (text to the
left of the right-most @ character) to lower case. This is recommended for delivery
via UUCP.
. Prepend "." to lines starting with ".". This is needed by, for example, BSMTP software.
> Prepend ">" to lines starting with "From ". This is expected by, for example, UUCP
software.
null_sender=replacement (default: MAILER-DAEMON)
Replace the null sender address (typically used for delivery status notifications) with the
specified text when expanding the $sender command-line macro, and when generating a From_ or
Return-Path: message header.
If the null sender replacement text is a non-empty string then it is affected by the q flag
for address quoting in command-line arguments.
The null sender replacement text may be empty; this form is recommended for content filters
that feed mail back into Postfix. The empty sender address is not affected by the q flag for
address quoting in command-line arguments.
Caution: a null sender address is easily mis-parsed by naive software. For example, when the
pipe(8) daemon executes a command such as:
Wrong: command -f$sender -- $recipient
the command will mis-parse the -f option value when the sender address is a null string. For
correct parsing, specify $sender as an argument by itself:
Right: command -f $sender -- $recipient
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.3.
size=size_limit (optional)
Don't deliver messages that exceed this size limit (in bytes); return them to the sender
instead.
user=username (required)
user=username:groupname
Execute the external command with the user ID and group ID of the specified username. The
software refuses to execute commands with root privileges, or with the privileges of the mail
system owner. If groupname is specified, the corresponding group ID is used instead of the
group ID of username.
argv=command... (required)
The command to be executed. This must be specified as the last command attribute. The command
is executed directly, i.e. without interpretation of shell meta characters by a shell command
interpreter.
In the command argument vector, the following macros are recognized and replaced with corre-sponding corresponding
sponding information from the Postfix queue manager delivery request.
In addition to the form ${name}, the forms $name and $(name) are also recognized. Specify $$
where a single $ is wanted.
${client_address}
This macro expands to the remote client network address.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.2.
${client_helo}
This macro expands to the remote client HELO command parameter.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.2.
${client_hostname}
This macro expands to the remote client hostname.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.2.
${client_port}
This macro expands to the remote client TCP port number.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.5.
${client_protocol}
This macro expands to the remote client protocol.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.2.
${domain}
This macro expands to the domain portion of the recipient address. For example, with
an address user+foo@domain the domain is domain.
This information is modified by the h flag for case folding.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.5.
${extension}
This macro expands to the extension part of a recipient address. For example, with an
address user+foo@domain the extension is foo.
A command-line argument that contains ${extension} expands into as many command-line
arguments as there are recipients.
This information is modified by the u flag for case folding.
${mailbox}
This macro expands to the complete local part of a recipient address. For example,
with an address user+foo@domain the mailbox is user+foo.
A command-line argument that contains ${mailbox} expands to as many command-line argu-ments arguments
ments as there are recipients.
This information is modified by the u flag for case folding.
${nexthop}
This macro expands to the next-hop hostname.
This information is modified by the h flag for case folding.
${original_recipient}
This macro expands to the complete recipient address before any address rewriting or
aliasing.
A command-line argument that contains ${original_recipient} expands to as many command-line commandline
line arguments as there are recipients.
This information is modified by the hqu flags for quoting and case folding.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.5.
${recipient}
This macro expands to the complete recipient address.
A command-line argument that contains ${recipient} expands to as many command-line
arguments as there are recipients.
This information is modified by the hqu flags for quoting and case folding.
${sasl_method}
This macro expands to the name of the SASL authentication mechanism in the AUTH command
when the Postfix SMTP server received the message.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.2.
${sasl_sender}
This macro expands to the SASL sender name (i.e. the original submitter as per RFC
4954) in the MAIL FROM command when the Postfix SMTP server received the message.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.2.
${sasl_username}
This macro expands to the SASL user name in the AUTH command when the Postfix SMTP
server received the message.
This feature is available as of Postfix 2.2.
${sender}
This macro expands to the envelope sender address. By default, the null sender address
expands to MAILER-DAEMON; this can be changed with the null_sender attribute, as
described above.
This information is modified by the q flag for quoting.
${size}
This macro expands to Postfix's idea of the message size, which is an approximation of
the size of the message as delivered.
${user}
This macro expands to the username part of a recipient address. For example, with an
address user+foo@domain the username part is user.
A command-line argument that contains ${user} expands into as many command-line argu-ments arguments
ments as there are recipients.
This information is modified by the u flag for case folding.
STANDARDS
RFC 3463 (Enhanced status codes)
DIAGNOSTICS
Command exit status codes are expected to follow the conventions defined in <sysexits.h>. Exit sta-tus status
tus 0 means normal successful completion.
In the case of a non-zero exit status, a limited amount of command output is reported in an delivery
status notification. When the output begins with a 4.X.X or 5.X.X enhanced status code, the status
code takes precedence over the non-zero exit status (Postfix version 2.3 and later).
Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8). Corrupted message files are marked so that the
queue manager can move them to the corrupt queue for further inspection.
SECURITY
This program needs a dual personality 1) to access the private Postfix queue and IPC mechanisms, and
2) to execute external commands as the specified user. It is therefore security sensitive.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically as pipe(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.

RESOURCE AND RATE CONTROLS
In the text below, transport is the first field in a master.cf entry.
transport_destination_concurrency_limit ($default_destination_concurrency_limit)
Limit the number of parallel deliveries to the same destination, for delivery via the named
transport. The limit is enforced by the Postfix queue manager.
transport_destination_recipient_limit ($default_destination_recipient_limit)
Limit the number of recipients per message delivery, for delivery via the named transport.
The limit is enforced by the Postfix queue manager.
