    TRIVIAL-REWRITE(8)                             TRIVIAL-REWRITE(8)

    NAME
           trivial-rewrite  - Postfix address rewriting and resolving
           daemon

    SYNOPSIS
           trivial-rewrite [generic Postfix daemon options]

    DESCRIPTION
           The trivial-rewrite daemon processes three types of client
           service requests:

           rewrite
                  Rewrite  an  address to standard form. The trivial-
                  rewrite daemon  by  default  appends  local  domain
                  information  to  unqualified  addresses, swaps bang
                  paths to domain form,  and  strips  source  routing
                  information.  This process is under control of sev-
                  eral configuration parameters (see below).

           resolve
                  Resolve an address to a (transport, nexthop, recip-
                  ient) triple. The meaning of the results is as fol-
                  lows:

                  transport
                         The delivery agent to use. This is the first
                         field of an entry in the master.cf file.

                  nexthop
                         The  host  to  send to and optional delivery
                         method information.

                  recipient
                         The  envelope  recipient  address  that   is
                         passed on to nexthop.

           verify Resolve  an  address  for address verification pur-
                  poses.

    DEFAULT DELIVERY METHODS
           By default, Postfix uses one  of  the  following  delivery
           methods.   This  may be overruled with the optional trans-
           port(5) table.  The default delivery method is selected by
           matching  the  recipient address domain against one of the
           following:

           $mydestination

           $inet_interfaces
                  The transport and optional  nexthop  are  specified
                  with  $local_transport.  The default nexthop is the
                  recipient domain.

           $virtual_alias_domains
                  The  recipient  address  is   undeliverable   (user
                  unknown).   By definition, all known addresses in a
                  virtual  alias  domain   are   aliased   to   other
                  addresses.

           $virtual_mailbox_domains
                  The  transport  and  optional nexthop are specified
                  with $virtual_transport.  The  default  nexthop  is
                  the recipient domain.

           $relay_domains
                  The  transport  and  optional nexthop are specified
                  with $relay_transport. This overrides the  optional
                  nexthop  information that is specified with $relay-
                  host.  The default nexthop is the recipient domain.

           none of the above
                  The  transport  and  optional nexthop are specified
                  with  $default_transport.    This   overrides   the
                  optional nexthop information that is specified with
                  $relayhost.  The default nexthop is  the  recipient
                  domain.

    SERVER PROCESS MANAGEMENT
           The trivial-rewrite servers run under control by the Post-
           fix master server.  Each server can handle multiple simul-
           taneous  connections.   When  all servers are busy while a
           client connects, the master creates a new server  process,
           provided  that the trivial-rewrite server process limit is
           not  exceeded.   Each  trivial-rewrite  server  terminates
           after serving at least $max_use clients of after $max_idle
           seconds of idle time.

    STANDARDS
           None. The command  does  not  interact  with  the  outside
           world.

    SECURITY
           The  trivial-rewrite daemon is not security sensitive.  By
           default, this daemon does not  talk  to  remote  or  local
           users.   It can run at a fixed low privilege in a chrooted
           environment.

    DIAGNOSTICS
           Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8).

    BUGS
    CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
           The following main.cf parameters are  especially  relevant
           to  this  program. See the Postfix main.cf file for syntax
           details and for default values.  Use  the  postfix  reload
           command after a configuration change.

    Miscellaneous
           empty_address_recipient
                  The  recipient  that  is  substituted  for the null
                  address.

           inet_interfaces
                  The  network  interfaces  that  this  mail   system
                  receives  mail  on.   This  information  is used to
                  determine if user@[net.work.addr.ess] is  local  or
                  remote.   Mail  for  local  users  is  given to the
                  $local_transport.

           mydestination
                  List of domains that are given to the $local_trans-
                  port.

           virtual_alias_domains
                  List  of  virtual  alias  domains (domains with all
                  recipients aliased to some other  local  or  remote
                  domain).

           virtual_mailbox_domains
                  List  of  domains  that  are  given  to  the  $vir-
                  tual_transport.

           relay_domains
                  List of domains that are given to the $relay_trans-
                  port.

           resolve_unquoted_address
                  When resolving an address, do not quote the address
                  localpart as per RFC 822, so that additional  @,  %
                  or  !   characters  remain visible. This is techni-
                  cally  incorrect,  but  allows  us  to  stop  relay
                  attacks  when forwarding mail to a Sendmail primary
                  MX host.

           relocated_maps
                  Tables with contact information for users, hosts or
                  domains that no longer exist. See relocated(5).

    Rewriting
           myorigin
                  The domain that locally-posted mail appears to come
                  from.

           allow_percent_hack
                  Rewrite user%domain to user@domain.

           append_at_myorigin
                  Rewrite user to user@$myorigin.

           append_dot_mydomain
                  Rewrite user@host to user@host.$mydomain.

           swap_bangpath
                  Rewrite site!user to user@site.

    Routing
           local_transport
                  Where to deliver mail for destinations  that  match
                  $mydestination  or  $inet_interfaces.   The default
                  transport is local:$myhostname.

                  Syntax is transport:nexthop; see  transport(5)  for
                  details. The :nexthop part is optional.

           virtual_transport
                  Where  to  deliver  mail for non-local domains that
                  match $virtual_mailbox_domains.  The default trans-
                  port is virtual.

                  Syntax  is  transport:nexthop; see transport(5) for
                  details. The :nexthop part is optional.

           relay_transport
                  Where to deliver mail for  non-local  domains  that
                  match  $relay_domains.   The  default  transport is
                  relay (which normally is a clone of the smtp trans-
                  port).

                  Syntax  is  transport:nexthop; see transport(5) for
                  details. The :nexthop part is optional.

           default_transport
                  Where to deliver all  other  non-local  mail.   The
                  default transport is smtp.

                  Syntax  is  transport:nexthop; see transport(5) for
                  details. The :nexthop part is optional.

           parent_domain_matches_subdomains
                  List of Postfix features that use  domain.tld  pat-
                  terns   to  match  sub.domain.tld  (as  opposed  to
                  requiring .domain.tld patterns).

           relayhost
                  The default host to send non-local mail to when  no
                  host   is   specified   with   $relay_transport  or
                  $default_transport, and when the recipient  address
                  does not match the optional the transport(5) table.

           transport_maps
                  List of tables with recipient or domain to  (trans-
                  port, nexthop) mappings.

    Address verification
           By default, address verification probes use the same route
           as regular mail. To override specific aspects  of  message
           routing  for  address  verification probes, specify one or
           more  of  the  following:  address_verify_local_transport,
           address_verify_virtual_transport,             address_ver-
           ify_relay_transport,     address_verify_default_transport,
           address_verify_relayhost, address_verify_transport_maps.
