POSTFIX-ADD-FILTER(8)                System Manager's Manual                POSTFIX-ADD-FILTER(8)



NAME
       postfix-add-filter - add filter service to Postfix master.cf

SYNOPSIS
       postfix-add-filter [smtp service name...] [smtpd port...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  postfix-add-filter(8)  command  adds  an smtp service named smtp service name and and
       smtpd server listening on smtpd port to etc/postfix/master.cf to facilitate integration of
       SMTP  filters such as amavisd-new or clamsmtp.  The configuration is based on the upstream
       recommendations for amavisd-new 2.6.0.  Adminstrators should verify it is appropriate  for
       their requirements.

       The original file is copied prior to modification and left in /etc/postfix to make it pos‐
       sible to revert changes easily.

       Available in the Debian package for Postfix version 2.5.3 and later.


DIAGNOSTICS
       If the given smtp service name or smtpd port already appear in the  master.cf,  a  message
       will be printed to standard out and master.cf will not be modified.


ENVIRONMENT
       MAIL_CONFIG
              Directory with Postfix configuration files.

              The postfix-add-filter(8) command should use this, but it currently doesn't.  It is
              hard coded to /etc/postfix.  This should be changed.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
       None

FILES
       /etc/postfix/master.cf
