NAME

qpsmtpd-prefork - Preforkin server for qpsmtpd

SYNOPSIS

qpsmtpd-prefork [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

qpsmtpd-prefork is the qpsmtpd frontend script which binds to the SMTP TCP socket, and asynchronously forks new children in advance of new connections.

OPTIONS

--port port

Binds to a specific port , instead of the default 2525.

--user user

On startup, switch to run as user instead of the starting user. Applies only when started as root (as is normal when listening on port 25).

--limit-connections limit

Accept at most limit simultaneous connections. Inbound connections beyondthis limit will be deferred or refused.

--max-from-ip limit

Accept at most limit simultaneous connections from any given IP address; does not override --limit-connections , if set.

--children limit

Limit the total number of child processes to limit ; once all children are handling requests, further connections are deferred.

--idle-children count

Keep count child processes available, subject to the upper bound given via --children. Specify 0 to disable preforking entirely.

--interface addr

Bind to the local address addr , instead of the default behavior of binding to all interfaces. Can be specified multiple times to bind to more than one interface or local address.

--renice-parent delta

Adjust the priority of the parent process by delta , yielding more CPU time to other processes. The default is 5.

--detach

Detach from the controlling terminal at startup, to run as a standalone daemon. See also --pid-file .

--pid-file filename

Upon startup, and after daemonizing if applicable, write the process ID to filename , for use by sysvinit control scripts or similar utilities.

--pretty-child

Update child process names within the process table.

--version

Print the qpsmtpd release version and exit.

--debug

Be somewhat more verbose about logging during startup (has no effect once fully started).

--help

Display commandline help and exit.
