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 manager of its arrival.

       The cleanup(8) daemon performs the following transformations:

       o      Insert missing  message  headers:  (Resent-)  From:,  To:,  Mes-
              sage-Id:, and Date:.
              This   is  enabled  with  the  local_header_rewrite_clients  and
              always_add_missing_headers parameter settings.

       o      Transform  envelope  and  header  addresses  to   the   standard
              user@fully-qualified-domain form that is expected by other Post-
              fix programs.  This task depends on the trivial-rewrite(8)  dae-
              mon.
              The  header  transformation is enabled with the local_header_re-
              write_clients parameter setting.

       o      Eliminate duplicate envelope recipient addresses.
              This is enabled with the duplicate_filter_limit  parameter  set-
              ting.

       o      Remove   message   headers:   Bcc,  Content-Length,  Resent-Bcc,
              Return-Path.
              This is enabled with the message_drop_headers parameter setting.

       o      Optionally,  rewrite all envelope and header addresses according
              to the mappings specified in the canonical(5) lookup tables.
              The header transformation is enabled with  the  local_header_re-
              write_clients parameter setting.

       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.
              The  header  transformation is enabled with the local_header_re-
              write_clients parameter setting.

       o      Optionally, expand envelope recipients according to  information
              found in the virtual_alias_maps lookup tables.

       The  cleanup(8)  daemon  performs  sanity checks on the content of each
       message. When it finds a problem, by default it  returns  a  diagnostic
       status to the cleanup service client, and leaves it up to the client to
       deal with the  problem.  Alternatively,  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) or postlogd(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)

              2.2, is turned off by default with Postfix version 2.1,  and  is
              always turned on with older Postfix versions).

              applications.

       header_from_format (standard)
              The format of the Postfix-generated From: header.

              independent from how a remote mail server handles  such  charac-
              ters.

BEFORE QUEUE MILTER CONTROLS
       As of version 2.3, Postfix supports the Sendmail version 8 Milter (mail
       filter) protocol. When mail is not received via  the  smtpd(8)  server,

              Optional  lookup  tables  with a) names of domains for which all
