    NAME

    virtual
    -
    Postfix virtual domain mail delivery agent
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    virtual [generic Postfix daemon options]
    
     

    DESCRIPTION

    The virtual(8) delivery agent is designed for virtual mail hosting services. Originally based on the Postfix local(8) delivery agent, this agent looks up recipients with map lookups of their full recipient address, instead of using hard-coded unix password file lookups of the address local part only.

    This delivery agent only delivers mail. Other features such as mail forwarding, out-of-office notifications, etc., must be configured via virtual_alias maps or via similar lookup mechanisms.  

    MAILBOX LOCATION

    
    
    The mailbox location is controlled by the virtual_mailbox_base
    and virtual_mailbox_maps configuration parameters (see below).
    The virtual_mailbox_maps table is indexed by the recipient
    address as described under TABLE SEARCH ORDER below.
    

    The mailbox pathname is constructed as follows:


       $virtual_mailbox_base/$virtual_mailbox_maps(recipient)

    where recipient is the full recipient address.  

    UNIX MAILBOX FORMAT

    
    
    When the mailbox location does not end in /, the message
    is delivered in UNIX mailbox format.   This format stores multiple
    messages in one textfile.
    

    The virtual(8) delivery agent prepends a "From sender time_stamp" envelope header to each message, prepends a Delivered-To: message header with the envelope recipient address, prepends an X-Original-To: header with the recipient address as given to Postfix, prepends a Return-Path: message header with the envelope sender address, prepends a > character to lines beginning with "From ", and appends an empty line.

    The mailbox is locked for exclusive access while delivery is in progress. In case of problems, an attempt is made to truncate the mailbox to its original length.  

    QMAIL MAILDIR FORMAT

    
    
    When the mailbox location ends in /, the message is delivered
    in qmail maildir format. This format stores one message per file.
    

    The virtual(8) delivery agent prepends a Delivered-To: message header with the final envelope recipient address, prepends an X-Original-To: header with the recipient address as given to Postfix, and prepends a Return-Path: message header with the envelope sender address.

    By definition, maildir format does not require application-level file locking during mail delivery or retrieval.  

    MAILBOX OWNERSHIP

    
    
    Mailbox ownership is controlled by the virtual_uid_maps
    and virtual_gid_maps lookup tables, which are indexed
    with the full recipient address. Each table provides
    a string with the numerical user and group ID, respectively.
    

    The virtual_minimum_uid parameter imposes a lower bound on numerical user ID values that may be specified in any virtual_uid_maps.  

    CASE FOLDING

    
    
    All delivery decisions are made using the full recipient
    address, folded to lower case. See also the next section
    for a few exceptions with optional address extensions.
     
    

    TABLE SEARCH ORDER

    
    
    Normally, a lookup table is specified as a text file that
    serves as input to the postmap(1) command. The result, an
    indexed file in dbm or db format, is used for fast
    searching by the mail system.
    

    The search order is as follows. The search stops upon the first successful lookup.

    *
    When the recipient has an optional address extension the user+extension@domain.tld address is looked up first.

    With Postfix versions before 2.1, the optional address extension is always ignored.

    *
    The user@domain.tld address, without address extension, is looked up next.
    *
    Finally, the recipient @domain is looked up.

    When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.

    Alternatively, a table can be provided as a regular-expression map where patterns are given as regular expressions. In that case, only the full recipient address is given to the regular-expression map.  

    SECURITY

    
    
    The virtual(8) delivery agent is not security sensitive, provided
    that the lookup tables with recipient user/group ID information are
    adequately protected. This program is not designed to run chrooted.
    

    The virtual(8) delivery agent disallows regular expression substitution of $1 etc. in regular expression lookup tables, because that would open a security hole.

    The virtual(8) delivery agent will silently ignore requests to use the proxymap(8) server. Instead it will open the table directly. Before Postfix version 2.2, the virtual delivery agent will terminate with a fatal error.  

    STANDARDS

    RFC 822 (ARPA Internet Text Messages)
    
     

    DIAGNOSTICS

    Mail bounces when the recipient has no mailbox or when the recipient is over disk quota. In all other cases, mail for an existing recipient is deferred and a warning is logged.

    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 afterwards.

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

    BUGS

    This delivery agent supports address extensions in email addresses and in lookup table keys, but does not propagate address extension information to the result of table lookup.

    Postfix should have lookup tables that can return multiple result attributes. In order to avoid the inconvenience of maintaining three tables, use an LDAP or MYSQL database.  

    CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

    
    
    Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically, as
    virtual(8)
    processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command
    "postfix reload" to speed up a change.

    HISTORY

    
    
    This delivery agent was originally based on the Postfix local delivery
    agent. Modifications mainly consisted of removing code that either
    was not applicable or that was not safe in this context: aliases,
    ~user/.forward files, delivery to "|command" or to /file/name.
    

    The Delivered-To: message header appears in the qmail system by Daniel Bernstein.

    The maildir structure appears in the qmail system by Daniel Bernstein.
