ESMTPD(8) Double Precision, Inc. ESMTPD(8) NAME esmtpd - The Courier mail server mail server ESMTP daemon SYNOPSIS 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 connec- tion 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 or- der to reread the /usr/local/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 restart FILES /usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpd This configuration file initializes various settings for courieresmtpd. /usr/local/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 set- tings /usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpd. The command "esmtpd-msa start" first reads /usr/local/etc/courier/esmtpd, then afterwards /usr/lo- cal/etc/courier/esmtpd-msa. Any settings in esmtpd-msa override the corresponding settings in esmtpd SEE ALSO couriertcpd(8)[2], makesmtpaccess(8)[1].
