delivery-queue¶

Name¶

delivery-queue — LMTP/SMTP frontend for local delivery

Synopsis¶

delivery-queue [-c config]

Description¶

delivery-queue is an additional mail queue in front of delivery(8gx). It may be removed in a future version.

Options¶

-c config: Read configuration directives from the given file. If this option is not specified, /etc/gromox/smtp.cfg will be read if it exists.
-?: Display option summary.

All time-based command-line options and configuration file directives are subject to the syntax described in gromox(7), section "Duration specifications".

Configuration directives (gromox.cfg)¶

The following directives are recognized when reading from /etc/gromox/gromox.cfg, or when the -c option is used to specify a custom file:

daemons_fd_limit: In gromox-delivery-queue, this is treated as an alias for lda_fd_limit.
lda_fd_limit: Request that the file descriptor table be at least this large. The magic value 0 indicates that the system default hard limit (rlim_max, cf. setrlimit(2)) should be used.

Default: 0

Configuration directives (smtp.cfg)¶

The following directives are recognized when reading from /etc/gromox/smtp.cfg, or when the -c option is used to specify a custom file:

command_protocol: Selects what kind of hello command is accepted of clients. Can be lmtp, smtp or both.

Default: both
config_file_path: Colon-separated list of directories which will be scanned when locating further configuration files, especially those used by plugin instances.

Default: /etc/gromox/smtp:/etc/gromox
context_average_mem: Default: 256K
context_max_mem: Default: 2M
context_num: Default: 200
data_file_path: Colon-separated list of directories which will be scanned when locating data files.

Default: /usr/share/gromox/smtp
host_id: A unique identifier for this system. It is used for greeting lines emitted by delivery-queue on the network.

Default: (system hostname)
lda_listen_addr: AF_INET6 socket address to bind the LDA service to.

Default: ::
lda_listen_port: The TCP port to export the SMTP protocol service on.

Default: 25
lda_listen_tls_port: The TCP port to expose the implicit-TLS SMTP protocol service on.

Default: (unset)
lda_log_file: Target for log messages here. Special values: "-" (stderr/syslog depending on parent PID) or "syslog" are recognized.

Default: - (auto)
lda_log_level: Maximum verbosity of logging. 1=crit, 2=error, 3=warn, 4=notice, 5=info, 6=debug.

Default: 4 (notice)

Default: 40
lda_thread_init_num: The minimum number of client processing threads to keep around.

Default: 1
mail_max_length: Maximum permitted length of a message.

Default: 64M
running_identity: An unprivileged user account to switch the process to after startup. To inhibit the switch, assign the empty value.

Default: gromox
smtp_certificate_passwd: The password to unlock TLS certificates.

Default: (unset)
smtp_certificate_path: Filesystem path to a certificate file for use with encrypted connection. The complete certificate chain should be present (as there is no other config directive to pull CA certs in).

Default: (unset)
smtp_conn_timeout: If an SMTP connection stalls for the given period, the connection is terminated.

Default: 3 minutes
smtp_force_starttls: This flag controls whether clients must utilize TLS, either by way of implicit TLS (cf. lda_listen_tls_port), or through the STARTTLS command.

Default: false
smtp_private_key_path: Filesystem path to the key file needed to unlock the TLS certificate.

Default: (unset)
smtp_support_pipeline: This flag controls the offering of the PIPELINING extension (RFC 2920) to clients.

Default: true
smtp_support_starttls: This flag controls the offering of the STARTTLS extension (RFC 3027) to clients.

Default: false
state_path: Directory for runtime variadic data.

Default: /var/lib/gromox
