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 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 restart

FILES

/etc/courier/esmtpd

This 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
