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 an 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 recom‐
       mendations for amavisd-new 2.6.0.  Administrators should verify it is appropriate  for  their
       requirements.

       The  original file is copied prior to modification and left in /etc/postfix to make it possi‐
       ble 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
