     20 
     21 <b>DESCRIPTION</b>
     22        The Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> command implements the Postfix to Sendmail com-
     23        patibility interface.  For the  sake  of  compatibility  with  existing
     24        applications,  some  Sendmail  command-line  options are recognized but
     25        silently ignored.
     26 
     27        By default, Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> reads a  message  from  standard  input
     28        until  EOF  or  until  it  reads  a  line  with only a <b>.</b> character, and
     29        arranges for delivery.  Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>sendmail</b>(1)</a> relies on  the  <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a>
     30        command to create a queue file in the <b>maildrop</b> directory.
     31 
     32        Specific  command aliases are provided for other common modes of opera-
     33        tion:
     34 
     35        <b>mailq</b>  List the mail queue. Each entry shows the queue file ID, message
     36               size,  arrival  time, sender, and the recipients that still need
     37               to be delivered.  If mail could not be delivered upon  the  last
     38               attempt, the reason for failure is shown. The queue ID string is
     39               followed by an optional status character:
     40 
     41               <b>*</b>      The message is in the <b>active</b> queue, i.e. the  message  is
     42                      selected for delivery.
     43 
     44               <b>!</b>      The  message is in the <b>hold</b> queue, i.e. no further deliv-
     45                      ery attempt will be made until  the  mail  is  taken  off
     46                      hold.
     47 
     48               <b>#</b>      The  message  is  forced  to expire. See the <a href="postsuper.1.html"><b>postsuper</b>(1)</a>
     49                      options <b>-e</b> or <b>-f</b>.
     50 
     51               This  mode  of  operation  is  implemented  by   executing   the
     52               <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command.
     53 
     54        <b>newaliases</b>
     55               Initialize  the  alias  database.  If no input file is specified
     56               (with the <b>-oA</b> option, see  below),  the  program  processes  the
     57               file(s)  specified with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#alias_database">alias_database</a></b> configuration parame-
     58               ter.  If no alias database type is specified, the  program  uses
     59               the  type specified with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#default_database_type">default_database_type</a></b> configuration
     60               parameter.  This mode of operation is implemented by running the
     61               <a href="postalias.1.html"><b>postalias</b>(1)</a> command.
     62 
     63               Note: it may take a minute or so before an alias database update
     64               becomes visible. Use the "<b>postfix reload</b>" command  to  eliminate
     65               this delay.
     66 
     67        These  and other features can be selected by specifying the appropriate
     68        combination of command-line options. Some features  are  controlled  by
     69        parameters in the <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file.
     70 
     71        The following options are recognized:
     72 
     73        <b>-Am</b> (ignored)
     74 
     75        <b>-Ac</b> (ignored)
     76               Postfix  sendmail uses the same configuration file regardless of
     77               whether or not a message is an initial submission.
     78 
     79        <b>-B</b> <i>body</i><b>_</b><i>type</i>
     80               The message body MIME type: <b>7BIT</b> or <b>8BITMIME</b>.
     81 
     82        <b>-bd</b>    Go into daemon mode. This mode of operation  is  implemented  by
     83               executing the "<b>postfix start</b>" command.
     84 
     85        <b>-bh</b> (ignored)
     86 
     87        <b>-bH</b> (ignored)
     88               Postfix has no persistent host status database.
     89 
     90        <b>-bi</b>    Initialize alias database. See the <b>newaliases</b> command above.
     91 
     92        <b>-bl</b>    Go  into  daemon  mode. To accept only local connections as with
     93               Sendmail's <b>-bl</b> option, specify "<b><a href="postconf.5.html#inet_interfaces">inet_interfaces</a> =  loopback</b>"  in
     94               the Postfix <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file.
     95 
     96        <b>-bm</b>    Read mail from standard input and arrange for delivery.  This is
     97               the default mode of operation.
     98 
     99        <b>-bp</b>    List the mail queue. See the <b>mailq</b> command above.
    100 
    101        <b>-bs</b>    Stand-alone SMTP server mode. Read SMTP commands  from  standard
    102               input,  and  write responses to standard output.  In stand-alone
    103               SMTP server mode, mail relaying and other  access  controls  are
    104               disabled  by  default.  To  enable  them, run the process as the
    105               <b><a href="postconf.5.html#mail_owner">mail_owner</a></b> user.
    106 
    107               This mode of operation is implemented by  running  the  <a href="smtpd.8.html"><b>smtpd</b>(8)</a>
    108               daemon.
    109 
    110        <b>-bv</b>    Do  not  collect  or  deliver  a message. Instead, send an email
    111               report after verifying each recipient address.  This  is  useful
    112               for testing address rewriting and routing configurations.
    113 
    114               This feature is available in Postfix version 2.1 and later.
    115 
    116        <b>-C</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>file</i>
    117 
    118        <b>-C</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
    119               The  path  name  of  the  Postfix <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file, or of its parent
    120               directory. This information is  ignored  with  Postfix  versions
    121               before 2.3.
    122 
    123               With Postfix version 3.2 and later, a non-default directory must
    124               be authorized in the default <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file,  through  the  alter-
    125               nate_config_directories  or  <a href="postconf.5.html#multi_instance_directories">multi_instance_directories</a>  parame-
    126               ters.
    127 
    128               With all Postfix versions, you can specify a directory  pathname
    129               with  the MAIL_CONFIG environment variable to override the loca-
    130               tion of configuration files.
    131 
    132        <b>-F</b> <i>full</i><b>_</b><i>name</i>
    133               Set the sender full name. This overrides  the  NAME  environment
    134               variable, and is used only with messages that have no <b>From:</b> mes-
    135               sage header.
    136 
    137        <b>-f</b> <i>sender</i>
    138               Set the envelope sender  address.  This  is  the  address  where
    139               delivery problems are sent to. With Postfix versions before 2.1,
    140               the  <b>Errors-To:</b>  message  header  overrides  the  error   return
    141               address.
    142 
    143        <b>-G</b>     Gateway  (relay)  submission, as opposed to initial user submis-
    144               sion.  Either do not rewrite addresses at all, or update  incom-
    145               plete  addresses  with  the  domain  information  specified with
    146               <b><a href="postconf.5.html#remote_header_rewrite_domain">remote_header_rewrite_domain</a></b>.
    147 
    148               This option is ignored before Postfix version 2.3.
    149 
    150        <b>-h</b> <i>hop</i><b>_</b><i>count</i> (ignored)
    151               Hop count limit. Use the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#hopcount_limit">hopcount_limit</a></b> configuration  parameter
    152               instead.
    153 
    154        <b>-I</b>     Initialize alias database. See the <b>newaliases</b> command above.
    155 
    156        <b>-i</b>     When  reading  a message from standard input, don't treat a line
    157               with only a <b>.</b> character as the end of input.
    158 
    159        <b>-L</b> <i>label</i> (ignored)
    160               The logging label. Use the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#syslog_name">syslog_name</a></b>  configuration  parameter
    161               instead.
    162 
    163        <b>-m</b> (ignored)
    164               Backwards compatibility.
    165 
    166        <b>-N</b> <i>dsn</i> (default: 'delay, failure')
    167               Delivery   status   notification   control.   Specify  either  a
    168               comma-separated list with one or more of <b>failure</b> (send notifica-
    169               tion  when delivery fails), <b>delay</b> (send notification when deliv-
    170               ery is delayed), or <b>success</b> (send notification when the  message
    171               is delivered); or specify <b>never</b> (don't send any notifications at
    172               all).
    173 
    174               This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
    175 
    176        <b>-n</b> (ignored)
    177               Backwards compatibility.
    178 
    179        <b>-oA</b><i>alias</i><b>_</b><i>database</i>
    180               Non-default alias database. Specify <i>pathname</i>  or  <i>type</i>:<i>pathname</i>.
    181               See <a href="postalias.1.html"><b>postalias</b>(1)</a> for details.
    182 
    183        <b>-O</b> <i>option=value</i> (ignored)
    184               Set  the named <i>option</i> to <i>value</i>. Use the equivalent configuration
    185               parameter in <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> instead.
    186 
    187        <b>-o7</b> (ignored)
    188 
    189        <b>-o8</b> (ignored)
    190               To send 8-bit or binary content, use an appropriate MIME  encap-
    191               sulation and specify the appropriate <b>-B</b> command-line option.
    192 
    193        <b>-oi</b>    When  reading  a message from standard input, don't treat a line
    194               with only a <b>.</b> character as the end of input.
    195 
    196        <b>-om</b> (ignored)
    197               The sender is never eliminated from alias etc. expansions.
    198 
    199        <b>-o</b> <i>x value</i> (ignored)
    200               Set option <i>x</i> to <i>value</i>. Use the equivalent configuration  parame-
    201               ter in <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> instead.
    202 
    203        <b>-r</b> <i>sender</i>
    204               Set  the  envelope  sender  address.  This  is the address where
    205               delivery problems are sent to. With Postfix versions before 2.1,
    206               the   <b>Errors-To:</b>  message  header  overrides  the  error  return
    207               address.
    208 
    209        <b>-R</b> <i>return</i>
    210               Delivery status notification control.  Specify "hdrs" to  return
    211               only  the header when a message bounces, "full" to return a full
    212               copy (the default behavior).
    213 
    214               The <b>-R</b> option specifies an upper bound; Postfix will return only
    215               the  header, when a full copy would exceed the <a href="postconf.5.html#bounce_size_limit">bounce_size_limit</a>
    216               setting.
    217 
    218               This option is ignored before Postfix version 2.10.
    219 
    220        <b>-q</b>     Attempt to deliver all queued mail. This is implemented by  exe-
    221               cuting the <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command.
    222 
    223               Warning:  flushing  undeliverable mail frequently will result in
    224               poor delivery performance of all other mail.
    225 
    226        <b>-q</b><i>interval</i> (ignored)
    227               The interval between queue runs. Use the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#queue_run_delay">queue_run_delay</a></b> config-
    228               uration parameter instead.
    229 
    230        <b>-qI</b><i>queueid</i>
    231               Schedule immediate delivery of mail with the specified queue ID.
    232               This option is implemented by executing  the  <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a>  com-
    233               mand, and is available with Postfix version 2.4 and later.
    234 
    235        <b>-qR</b><i>site</i>
    236               Schedule  immediate  delivery of all mail that is queued for the
    237               named <i>site</i>. This option accepts only <i>site</i> names that are  eligi-
    238               ble  for the "fast flush" service, and is implemented by execut-
    239               ing the <a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> command.  See <a href="flush.8.html"><b>flush</b>(8)</a> for more information
    240               about the "fast flush" service.
    241 
    242        <b>-qS</b><i>site</i>
    243               This  command  is  not implemented. Use the slower "<b>sendmail -q</b>"
    244               command instead.
    245 
    246        <b>-t</b>     Extract recipients from message headers. These are added to  any
    247               recipients specified on the command line.
    248 
    249               With Postfix versions prior to 2.1, this option requires that no
    250               recipient addresses are specified on the command line.
    251 
    252        <b>-U</b> (ignored)
    253               Initial user submission.
    254 
    255        <b>-V</b> <i>envid</i>
    256               Specify the envelope ID for notification by servers that support
    257               DSN.
    258 
    259               This feature is available in Postfix 2.3 and later.
    260 
    261        <b>-XV</b> (Postfix 2.2 and earlier: <b>-V</b>)
    262               Variable  Envelope Return Path. Given an envelope sender address
    263               of the form <i>owner-listname</i>@<i>origin</i>,  each  recipient  <i>user</i>@<i>domain</i>
    264               receives mail with a personalized envelope sender address.
    265 
    266               By   default,   the  personalized  envelope  sender  address  is
    267               <i>owner-listname</i><b>+</b><i>user</i><b>=</b><i>domain</i>@<i>origin</i>. The default <b>+</b> and  <b>=</b>  charac-
    268               ters  are configurable with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#default_verp_delimiters">default_verp_delimiters</a></b> configu-
    269               ration parameter.
    270 
    271        <b>-XV</b><i>xy</i> (Postfix 2.2 and earlier: <b>-V</b><i>xy</i>)
    272               As <b>-XV</b>, but uses <i>x</i> and  <i>y</i>  as  the  VERP  delimiter  characters,
    273               instead of the characters specified with the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#default_verp_delimiters">default_verp_delim</a>-</b>
    274               <b><a href="postconf.5.html#default_verp_delimiters">iters</a></b> configuration parameter.
    275 
    276        <b>-v</b>     Send an email report of the first delivery attempt (Postfix ver-
    277               sions  2.1 and later). Mail delivery always happens in the back-
    278               ground. When multiple <b>-v</b> options are given, enable verbose  log-
    279               ging for debugging purposes.
    280 
    281        <b>-X</b> <i>log</i><b>_</b><i>file</i> (ignored)
    282               Log mailer traffic. Use the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#debug_peer_list">debug_peer_list</a></b> and <b><a href="postconf.5.html#debug_peer_level">debug_peer_level</a></b>
    283               configuration parameters instead.
    284 
    285 <b>SECURITY</b>
    286        By design, this program is not set-user (or group) id.  It is  prepared
    287        to handle message content from untrusted, possibly remote, users.
    288 
    289        However,  like  most  Postfix programs, this program does not enforce a
    290        security policy on its command-line arguments.  Instead, it  relies  on
    291        the  UNIX system to enforce access policies based on the effective user
    292        and group IDs of the process. Concretely, this means that running Post-
    293        fix  commands as root (from sudo or equivalent) on behalf of a non-root
    294        user is likely to create privilege escalation opportunities.
    295 
    296        If an application runs any Postfix programs on behalf of users that  do
    297        not have normal shell access to Postfix commands, then that application
    298        MUST restrict user-specified command-line arguments to avoid  privilege
    299        escalation.
    300 
    301        <b>o</b>      Filter  all  command-line  arguments, for example arguments that
    302               contain a pathname or that specify  a  database  access  method.
    303               These  pathname  checks  must reject user-controlled symlinks or
    304               hardlinks to sensitive files, and must not be vulnerable to TOC-
    305               TOU race attacks.
    306 
    307        <b>o</b>      Disable  command  options  processing  for all command arguments
    308               that contain user-specified data. For example, the Postfix <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>send-</b></a>
    309               <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>mail</b>(1)</a> command line MUST be structured as follows:
    310 
    311                   <b>/path/to/sendmail</b> <i>system-arguments</i> <b>--</b> <i>user-arguments</i>
    312 
    313               Here,  the  "<b>--</b>"  disables  command  option  processing  for all
    314               <i>user-arguments</i> that follow.
    315 
    316               Without the "<b>--</b>", a malicious user could  enable  Postfix  <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>send-</b></a>
    317               <a href="sendmail.1.html"><b>mail</b>(1)</a>  command  options,  by  specifying an email address that
    318               starts with "<b>-</b>".
    319 
    320 <b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
    321        Problems are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a>, and to  the  standard
