NAME¶
esmtpd - The Courier mail server mail server ESMTP daemonSYNOPSIS¶
esmtpd {start}
esmtpd {stop}
esmtpd {restart}
esmtpd-msa {start}
esmtpd-msa {stop}
esmtpd-msa {restart}
DESCRIPTION¶
The command " esmtpd start" runs couriertcpd in the background, listening on the SMTP port. couriertcpd will run courieresmtpd in response to connection requests. The command " esmtpd stop" stops the couriertcpd daemon, shutting down the ESMTP service. The command " esmtpd-msa start" starts the server on the message submission port, port 587. " esmtpd-msa stop" stops it. The difference between esmtpd and esmtpd-msa is that the latter is set up for additional processing as defined by RFC 2476 (mainly that the messages will have the Message-ID: and Date: headers added, by default). Normally, makesmtpaccess(8)[1] automatically runs " esmtpd restart", in order to reread the /etc/courier/smtpaccess.dat access file, so you don't have to do it manually, yourself. Similarly, makesmtpaccess-msa(8)[1] automatically runs esmtpd-msa restartFILES¶
/etc/courier/esmtpdThis configuration file initializes various settings for
courieresmtpd.
/etc/courier/esmtpd-msa
This configuration file initializes the settings for
courieresmtpd when invoked by esmtpd-msa. Note that this file is
used to override the settings /etc/courier/esmtpd. The command "
esmtpd-msa start" first reads /etc/courier/esmtpd, then afterwards
/etc/courier/esmtpd-msa. Any settings in esmtpd-msa override the corresponding
settings in esmtpd
