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.
