    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

    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)

                  sender  address  (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 versions).

                  Replace  each  stray  <CR>  or <LF> character in message content
                  with a space character, to prevent outbound SMTP smuggling,  and
                  to make the evaluation of Postfix-added DKIM or other signatures
                  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,
           the cleanup(8) server will simulate SMTP events to the extent that this
           is possible. For details see the MILTER_README document.
