	    --dumpstats             displays usage statistics
	    --dumpcache             displays cache contents

	Networking:
	-i, --interface <dev>       listen on interface <dev>
	-p, --port <port>           listen on port <port>
            --proto <proto>         socket type (tcp or unix)

	    --loglen <int>          truncates syslogs after <int> chars

	Caching:
	-c, --cache <int>           sets the request-cache timeout to <int> seconds
	    --cache-no-size         ignores size attribute for caching
	    --cache-no-sender       ignores sender address in cache

=head1 DESCRIPTION


=head2 INTRODUCTION

postfwd is written to combine complex postfix restrictions in a ruleset similar to those of the most firewalls.
The program uses the postfix policy delegation protocol to control access to the mail system before a message
has been accepted (please visit L<http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html> for more information). 

postfwd allows you to choose an action (e.g. reject, dunno) for a combination of several smtp parameters
(like sender and recipient address, size or the client's TLS fingerprint). Also it offers simple macros/acls
which should allow straightforward and easy-to-read configurations.

I<Features:>

* Complex combinations of smtp parameters

* Combined RBL/RHSBL lookups with arbitrary actions depending on results

* Scoring system

* Date/time based rules

* Macros/ACLs, Groups, Negation

* Compare request attributes (e.g. client_name and helo_name)

* Internal caching for requests and dns lookups

* Built in statistics for rule efficiency analysis


=head2 CONFIGURATION

A configuration line consists of optional item=value pairs, separated by semicolons
(`;`) and the appropriate desired action:

	[ <item1>=<value>; <item2>=<value>; ... ] action=<result>

I<Example:>

	client_address=192.168.1.1 ; sender==no@bad.local ; action=REJECT

This will deny all mail from 192.168.1.1 with envelope sender no@bad.local. The order of the elements
is not important. So the following would lead to the same result as the previous example:

	action=REJECT ; client_address=192.168.1.1 ; sender==no@bad.local

The way how request items are compared to the ruleset can be influenced in the following way:

	====================================================================
	 ITEM == VALUE                true if ITEM equals VALUE
	 ITEM => VALUE                true if ITEM >= VALUE
	 ITEM =< VALUE                true if ITEM <= VALUE
	 ITEM =~ VALUE                true if ITEM ~= /^VALUE$/i
	 ITEM != VALUE                false if ITEM equals VALUE
	 ITEM !> VALUE                false if ITEM >= VALUE
	 ITEM !< VALUE                false if ITEM <= VALUE
	 ITEM !~ VALUE                false if ITEM ~= /^VALUE$/i
	 ITEM =  VALUE                default behaviour (see ITEMS section)
	====================================================================

To identify single rules in your log files, you may add an unique identifier for each of it:

	id=R_001 ; action=REJECT ; client_address=192.168.1.1 ; sender==no@bad.local

You may use these identifiers as target for the `jump()` command (see ACTIONS section below). Leading
or trailing whitespace characters will be ignored. Use '#' to comment your configuration. Others will
appreciate.

A ruleset consists of one or multiple rules, which can be loaded from files or passed as command line
arguments. Please see the COMMAND LINE section below for more information on this topic.

Since postfwd version 1.30 rules spanning span multiple lines can be defined by prefixing the following
lines with one or multiple whitespace characters (or '}' for macros):

	id=RULE001
		client_address=192.168.1.0/24
		sender==no@bad.local
		action=REJECT no access

postfwd versions prior to 1.30 require trailing ';' and '\'-characters:

	id=RULE001; \
		client_address=192.168.1.0/24; \
		sender==no@bad.local; \
		action=REJECT no access


=head2 ITEMS

	id			- a unique rule id, which can be used for log analysis
				  ids also serve as targets for the "jump" command.

	date, time		- a time or date range within the specified rule shall hit
				  # FORMAT:
				  # Feb, 29th
				  date=29.02.2008
				  # Dec, 24th - 26th
				  date=24.12.2008-26.12.2008
				  # from today until Nov, 23rd
				  date=-23.09.2008
				  # from April, 1st until today
				  date=01.04.2008-

	days, months		- a range of weekdays (Sun-Sat) or months (Jan-Dec)
				  within the specified rule shall hit

	score			- when the specified score is hit (see ACTIONS section)
				  the specified action will be returned to postfix
				  scores are set global until redefined!

	request_score		- this value allows to access a request's score. it
				  may be used as variable ($$request_score).

	rbl, rhsbl,	 	- query the specified RBLs/RHSBLs, possible values are:
	rhsbl_client,		  <name>[/<reply>/<maxcache>, <name>/<reply>/<maxcache>]
	rhsbl_sender,		  (defaults: reply=^127\.0\.0\.\d+$ maxcache=3600)
	rhsbl_reverse_client	  the results of all rhsbl_* queries will be combined
				  in rhsbl_count (see below).

	rblcount, rhsblcount	- minimum RBL/RHSBL hitcounts to match. if not specified
				  a single RBL/RHSBL hit will match the rbl/rhsbl items.
				  you may specify 'all' to evaluate all items, and use
				  it as variable in an action (see ACTIONS section)
				  (default: 1)

	sender_localpart,	- the local-/domainpart of the sender address
	sender_domain

	recipient_localpart,	- the local-/domainpart of the recipient address
	recipient_domain

	helo_address		- postfwd tries to look up the helo_name. use
				  helo_address=!!(0.0.0.0/0) to check for unknown.
				  Please do not use this for positive access control
				  (whitelisting), as it might be forged.

	sender_ns_names,	- postfwd tries to look up the names/ip addresses
	sender_ns_addrs		  of the nameservers for the sender domain part.
				  Please do not use this for positive access control
				  (whitelisting), as it might be forged.

	sender_mx_names,	- postfwd tries to look up the names/ip addresses
	sender_mx_addrs		  of the mx records for the sender domain part.
				  Please do not use this for positive access control
				  (whitelisting), as it might be forged.

	version			- postfwd version, contains "postfwd n.nn"
				  this enables version based checks in your rulesets
				  (e.g. for migration). works with old versions too,
				  because a non-existing item always returns false:
				  # version >= 1.10
				  id=R01; version~=1\.[1-9][0-9]; sender_domain==some.org \
				  	; action=REJECT sorry no access

	ratecount		- only available for rate(), size() and rcpt() actions.
				  contains the actual limit counter:
					id=R01; action=rate(sender/200/600/REJECT limit of 200 exceeded [$$ratecount hits])
					id=R02; action=rate(sender/100/600/WARN limit of 100 exceeded [$$ratecount hits])

Besides these you can specify any attribute of the postfix policy delegation protocol.  
Feel free to combine them the way you need it (have a look at the EXAMPLES section below).

Most values can be specified as regular expressions (PCRE). Please see the table below
for details:

	# ==========================================================
	# ITEM=VALUE				TYPE
	# ==========================================================
	id=something				mask = string
	date=01.04.2007-22.04.2007		mask = date (DD.MM.YYYY-DD.MM.YYYY)
	time=08:30:00-17:00:00			mask = time (HH:MM:SS-HH:MM:SS)
	days=Mon-Wed				mask = weekdays (Mon-Wed) or numeric (1-3)
	months=Feb-Apr				mask = months (Feb-Apr) or numeric (1-3)
	score=5.0				mask = maximum floating point value
	rbl=zen.spamhaus.org			mask = <name>/<reply>/<maxcache>[,...]
	rblcount=2				mask = numeric, will match if rbl hits >= 2
	helo_address=<a.b.c.d/nn>		mask = CIDR[,CIDR,...]
	sender_ns_names=some.domain.tld		mask = PCRE
	sender_mx_names=some.domain.tld		mask = PCRE
	sender_ns_addrs=<a.b.c.d/nn>		mask = CIDR[,CIDR,...]
	sender_mx_addrs=<a.b.c.d/nn>		mask = CIDR[,CIDR,...]
	# ------------------------------
	# Postfix version 2.1 and later:
	# ------------------------------
	client_address=<a.b.c.d/nn>		mask = CIDR[,CIDR,...]
	client_name=another.domain.tld		mask = PCRE
	reverse_client_name=another.domain.tld	mask = PCRE
	helo_name=some.domain.tld		mask = PCRE
	sender=foo@bar.tld			mask = PCRE
	recipient=bar@foo.tld			mask = PCRE
	recipient_count=5			mask = numeric, will match if recipients >= 5
	# ------------------------------
	# Postfix version 2.2 and later:
	# ------------------------------
	sasl_method=plain			mask = PCRE
	sasl_username=you			mask = PCRE
	sasl_sender=				mask = PCRE
	size=12345				mask = numeric, will match if size >= 12345
	ccert_subject=blackhole.nowhere.local	mask = PCRE (only if tls verified)
	ccert_issuer=John+20Doe			mask = PCRE (only if tls verified)
	ccert_fingerprint=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:...	mask = PCRE (do NOT use "..." here)
	# ------------------------------
	# Postfix version 2.3 and later:
	# ------------------------------
	encryption_protocol=TLSv1/SSLv3		mask = PCRE
	encryption_cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA	mask = PCRE
	encryption_keysize=256			mask = numeric, will match if keysize >= 256
	...

the current list can be found at L<http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html>. Please read carefully about which
attribute can be used at which level of the smtp transaction (e.g. size will only work reliably at END-OF-MESSAGE level).
Pattern matching is performed case insensitive.

Multiple use of the same item is allowed and will compared as logical OR, which means that this will work as expected:

	id=TRUST001; action=OK; encryption_keysize=64
		ccert_fingerprint=11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99
		ccert_fingerprint=22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:00
		ccert_fingerprint=33:44:55:66:77:88:99:00:11
		sender=@domain\.local$

client_address, rbl and rhsbl items may also be specified as whitespace-or-comma-separated values:

	id=SKIP01; action=dunno
		client_address=192.168.1.0/24, 172.16.254.23
	id=SKIP02; action=dunno
		client_address=10.10.3.32 10.216.222.0/27

The following items currently have to be unique:

	id, minimum and maximum values, rblcount and rhsblcount

Any item can be negated by preceeding '!!' to it, e.g.:

	id=HOST001 ;  hostname == !!secure.trust.local ;  action=REJECT only secure.trust.local please

or using the right compare operator:

	id=HOST001 ;  hostname != secure.trust.local ;  action=REJECT only secure.trust.local please

To avoid confusion with regexps or simply for better visibility you can use '!!(...)':

	id=USER01 ;  sasl_username = !!( (bob|alice) )  ;  action=REJECT who is that?

Request attributes can be compared by preceeding '$$' characters, e.g.:

	id=R-003 ;  client_name = !! $$helo_name      ;  action=WARN helo does not match DNS
	# or
	id=R-003 ;  client_name = !!($$(helo_name))   ;  action=WARN helo does not match DNS

This is only valid for PCRE values (see list above). The comparison will be performed as case insensitive exact match.
Use the '-vv' option to debug.

These special items will be reset for any new rule:

	rblcount	- contains the number of RBL answers
	rhsblcount	- contains the number of RHSBL answers
	matches		- contains the number of matched items
	dnsbltext	- contains the dns TXT part of all RBL and RHSBL replies in the form
			  rbltype:rblname:<txt>; rbltype:rblname:<txt>; ...

These special items will be changed for any matching rule:

	request_hits	- contains ids of all matching rules

This means that it might be necessary to save them, if you plan to use these values in later rules:

	# set vals
	id=RBL01 ; rhsblcount=all; rblcount=all
		action=set(HIT_rhls=$$rhsblcount,HIT_rbls=$$rblcount,HIT_txt=$$dnsbltext)
		rbl=list.dsbl.org, bl.spamcop.net, dnsbl.sorbs.net, zen.spamhaus.org
		rhsbl_client=rddn.dnsbl.net.au, rhsbl.ahbl.org, rhsbl.sorbs.net
		rhsbl_sender=rddn.dnsbl.net.au, rhsbl.ahbl.org, rhsbl.sorbs.net

	# compare
	id=RBL02 ; HIT_rhls>=1 ; HIT_rbls>=1 ; action=554 5.7.1 blocked using $$HIT_rhls RHSBLs and $$HIT_rbls RBLs [INFO: $$HIT_txt]
	id=RBL03 ; HIT_rhls>=2               ; action=554 5.7.1 blocked using $$HIT_rhls RHSBLs [INFO: $$HIT_txt]
	id=RBL04 ; HIT_rbls>=2               ; action=554 5.7.1 blocked using $$HIT_rbls RBLs [INFO: $$HIT_txt]


=head2 FILES

Since postfwd1 v1.15 and postfwd2 v0.18 long item lists can be stored in separate files:

	id=R001 ;  ccert_fingerprint==file:/etc/postfwd/wl_ccerts ;  action=DUNNO

postfwd will read a list of items (one item per line) from /etc/postfwd/wl_ccerts. comments are allowed:

	# client1
	11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99
	# client2
	22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:00
	# client3
	33:44:55:66:77:88:99:00:11

To use existing tables in key=value format, you can use:

	id=R001 ;  ccert_fingerprint==table:/etc/postfwd/wl_ccerts ;  action=DUNNO

This will ignore the right-hand value. Items can be mixed:

	id=R002 ;  action=REJECT
		client_name==unknown
		client_name==file:/etc/postfwd/blacklisted

and for non pcre (comma separated) items:

	id=R003 ;  action=REJECT
		client_address==10.1.1.1, file:/etc/postfwd/blacklisted

	id=R004 ;  action=REJECT
		rbl=myrbl.home.local, zen.spamhaus.org, file:/etc/postfwd/rbls_changing

You can check your configuration with the --show_config option at the command line:

	# postfwd --showconfig --rule='action=DUNNO; client_address=10.1.0.0/16, file:/etc/postfwd/wl_clients, 192.168.2.1'

should give something like:

	Rule   0: id->"R-0"; action->"DUNNO"; client_address->"=;10.1.0.0/16, =;194.123.86.10, =;186.4.6.12, =;192.168.2.1"

If a file can not be read, it will be ignored:

	# postfwd --showconfig --rule='action=DUNNO; client_address=10.1.0.0/16, file:/etc/postfwd/wl_clients, 192.168.2.1'
	[LOG warning]: error: file /etc/postfwd/wl_clients not found - file will be ignored ?
	Rule   0: id->"R-0"; action->"DUNNO"; client_address->"=;10.1.0.0/16, =;192.168.2.1"

File items are evaluated at configuration stage. Therefore postfwd needs to be reloaded if a file has changed.

If you want to specify a file, that will be reloaded for each request, you can use lfile: and ltable:

	id=R001; client_address=lfile:/etc/postfwd/client_whitelist; action=dunno

This will check the modification time of /etc/postfwd/client_whitelist every time the rule is evaluated and reload it as
necessary. Of course this might increase the system load, so please use it with care.

The --showconfig option illustrates the difference:

	## evaluated at configuration stage
	# postfwd2 --nodaemon -L --rule='client_address=table:/etc/postfwd/clients; action=dunno' -C
	Rule   0: id->"R-0"; action->"dunno"; client_address->"=;1.1.1.1, =;1.1.1.2, =;1.1.1.3"

	## evaluated for any rulehit
	# postfwd2 --nodaemon -L --rule='client_address=ltable:/etc/postfwd/clients; action=dunno' -C
	Rule   0: id->"R-0"; action->"dunno"; client_address->"=;ltable:/etc/postfwd/clients"

Files can refer to other files. The following is valid.

	-- FILE /etc/postfwd/rules.cf --
	id=R001; client_address=file:/etc/postfwd/clients_master.cf; action=DUNNO

	-- FILE /etc/postfwd/clients_master.cf --
	192.168.1.0/24
	file:/etc/postfwd/clients_east.cf
	file:/etc/postfwd/clients_west.cf

	-- FILE /etc/postfwd/clients_east.cf --
	192.168.2.0/24

	-- FILE /etc/postfwd/clients_west.cf --
	192.168.3.0/24

Remind that there is currently no loop detection (/a/file calls /a/file) and that this feature is only available
with postfwd1 v1.15 and postfwd2 v0.18 and higher.


=head2 ACTIONS

I<General>

Actions will be executed, when all rule items have matched a request (or at least one of any item list). You can refer to
request attributes by preceeding $$ characters, like:

	id=R-003; client_name = !!$$helo_name; action=WARN helo '$$helo_name' does not match DNS '$$client_name'
	# or
	id=R-003; client_name = !!$$helo_name; action=WARN helo '$$(helo_name)' does not match DNS '$$(client_name)'

I<postfix actions>

Actions will be replied to postfix as result to policy delegation requests. Any action that postfix understands is allowed - see
"man 5 access" or L<http://www.postfix.org/access.5.html> for a description. If no action is specified, the postfix WARN action
which simply logs the event will be used for the corresponding rule.

postfwd will return dunno if it has reached the end of the ruleset and no rule has matched. This can be changed by placing a last
rule containing only an action statement:

	...
	action=dunno ; sender=@domain.local	# sender is ok
	action=reject				# default deny

I<postfwd actions>

postfwd actions control the behaviour of the program. Currently you can specify the following:

	jump (<id>)
	jumps to rule with id <id>, use this to skip certain rules.
	you can jump backwards - but remember that there is no loop
	detection at the moment! jumps to non-existing ids will be skipped.

	score (<score>)
	the request's score will be modified by the specified <score>,
	which must be a floating point value. the modificator can be either
		+n.nn	adds n.nn to current score
		-n.nn	sustracts n.nn from the current score
		*n.nn	multiplies the current score by n.nn
		/n.nn	divides the current score through n.nn
		=n.nn	sets the current score to n.nn
	if the score exceeds the maximum set by `--scores` option (see
	COMMAND LINE) or the score item (see ITEMS section), the action
	defined for this case will be returned (default: 5.0=>"REJECT postfwd score exceeded").

	set (<item>=<value>,<item>=<value>,...)
	this command allows you to insert or override request attributes, which then may be
	compared to your further ruleset. use this to speed up repeated comparisons to large item lists.
	please see the EXAMPLES section for more information. you may separate multiple key=value pairs
	by "," characters.

	rate (<item>/<max>/<time>/<action>)
	this command creates a counter for the given <item>, which will be increased any time a request
	containing it arrives. if it exceeds <max> within <time> seconds it will return <action> to postfix.
	rate counters are very fast as they are executed before the ruleset is parsed.
	please note that <action> is currently limited to postfix actions (no postfwd actions)!
	    # no more than 3 requests per 5 minutes
	    # from the same "unknown" client
	    id=RATE01 ;  client_name==unknown
	       action=rate(client_address/3/300/450 4.7.1 sorry, max 3 requests per 5 minutes)
	Please note also that the order of rate limits in your ruleset is important, which means
	that this:
		# works as expected
		id=R001; action=rcpt(sender/500/3600/REJECT limit of 500 recipients per hour for sender $$sender exceeded)
		id=R002; action=rcpt(sender/200/3600/WARN state YELLOW for sender $$sender)
	leads to different results than this:
		# rule R002 never gets executed
		id=R001; action=rcpt(sender/200/3600/WARN state YELLOW for sender $$sender)
		id=R002; action=rcpt(sender/500/3600/REJECT limit of 500 recipients per hour for sender $$sender exceeded)

	size (<item>/<max>/<time>/<action>)
	this command works similar to the rate() command with the difference, that the rate counter is
	increased by the request's size attribute. to do this reliably you should call postfwd from
	smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions. if you want to be sure, you could check it within the ruleset:
	   # size limit 1.5mb per hour per client
	   id=SIZE01 ;  protocol_state==END-OF-MESSAGE ;  client_address!=10.1.1.1
	      action=size(client_address/1572864/3600/450 4.7.1 sorry, max 1.5mb per hour)

	rcpt (<item>/<max>/<time>/<action>)
	this command works similar to the rate() command with the difference, that the rate counter is
	increased by the request's recipient_count attribute. to do this reliably you should call postfwd
	from smtpd_data_restrictions or smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions. if you want to be sure, you could
	check it within the ruleset:
	   # recipient count limit 3 per hour per client
	   id=RCPT01 ;  protocol_state==END-OF-MESSAGE ;  client_address!=10.1.1.1
	      action=rcpt(client_address/3/3600/450 4.7.1 sorry, max 3 recipients per hour)

	ask (<addr>:<port>[:<ignore>])
	allows to delegate the policy decision to another policy service (e.g. postgrey). the first
	and the second argument (address and port) are mandatory. a third optional argument may be
	specified to tell postfwd to ignore certain answers and go on parsing the ruleset:
	   # example1: query postgrey and return it's answer to postfix
	   id=GREY; client_address==10.1.1.1; action=ask(127.0.0.1:10031)
	   # example2: query postgrey but ignore the answer, if it matches 'DUNNO'
	   # and continue parsing postfwd's ruleset
	   id=GREY; client_address==10.1.1.1; action=ask(127.0.0.1:10031:^dunno$)

	wait (<delay>)
	pauses the program execution for <delay> seconds. use this for
	delaying or throtteling connections.

	note (<string>)
	just logs the given string and continues parsing the ruleset.
	if the string is empty, nothing will be logged (noop).

	quit (<code>)
	terminates the program with the given exit-code. postfix doesn`t
	like that too much, so use it with care.

You can reference to request attributes, like

	id=R-HELO ;  helo_name=^[^\.]+$ ;  action=REJECT invalid helo '$$helo_name'


=head2 MACROS/ACLS

Multiple use of long items or combinations of them may be abbreviated by macros. Those must be prefixed by '&&' (two '&' characters).
First the macros have to be defined as follows:

	&&RBLS { rbl=zen.spamhaus.org,list.dsbl.org,bl.spamcop.net,dnsbl.sorbs.net,ix.dnsbl.manitu.net; };

Then these may be used in your rules, like:

	&&RBLS ;  client_name=^unknown$				; action=REJECT
	&&RBLS ;  client_name=(\d+[\.-_]){4}			; action=REJECT
	&&RBLS ;  client_name=[\.-_](adsl|dynamic|ppp|)[\.-_]	; action=REJECT

Macros can contain actions, too:

	# definition
	&&GONOW { action=REJECT your request caused our spam detection policy to reject this message. More info at http://www.domain.local; };
	# rules
	&&GONOW ;  &&RBLS ;  client_name=^unknown$
	&&GONOW ;  &&RBLS ;  client_name=(\d+[\.-_]){4}
	&&GONOW ;  &&RBLS ;  client_name=[\.-_](adsl|dynamic|ppp|)[\.-_]

Macros can contain macros, too:

	# definition
	&&RBLS{
		rbl=zen.spamhaus.org
		rbl=list.dsbl.org

=head2 PLUGINS

B<Description>

The plugin interface allow you to define your own checks and enhance postfwd's
functionality. Feel free to share useful things!

B<Warning>

Note that the plugin interface is still at devel stage. Please test your plugins
carefully, because errors may cause postfwd to break! It is also
allowed to override attributes or built-in functions, but be sure that you know
what you do because some of them are used internally.

Please keep security in mind, when you access sensible ressources and never, ever
run postfwd as privileged user! Also never trust your input (especially hostnames,
and e-mail addresses).

B<ITEMS>

Item plugins are perl subroutines which integrate additional attributes to requests
before they are evaluated against postfwd's ruleset like any other item of the
policy delegation protocol. This allows you to create your own checks.

plugin-items can not be used selective. these functions will be executed for every
request postfwd receives, so keep performance in mind.

	SYNOPSIS: %result = postfwd_items_plugin{<name>}(%request)

means that your subroutine, called <name>, has access to a hash called %request,
which contains all request attributes, like $request{client_name} and must
return a value in the following form:

	save: $result{<item>} = <value>

this creates the new item <item> containing <value>, which will be integrated in
the policy delegation request and therefore may be used in postfwd's ruleset.

	# do NOT remove the next line
	%postfwd_items_plugin = (

		# EXAMPLES - integrated in postfwd. no need to activate them here.
		
			# allows to check postfwd version in ruleset
	        	"version" => sub {
       	 		       	my(%request) = @_;
				my(%result) = (
       	 	        		"version" => $NAME." ".$VERSION,
				);
       	 		       	return %result;
			},
		
			# sender_domain and recipient_domain
       	 		"address_parts" => sub {
       	 		       	my(%request) = @_;
				my(%result) = ();
       	 			$request{sender} =~ /@([^@]*)$/;
       	 			$result{sender_domain} = ($1 || '');
       	 			$request{recipient} =~ /@([^@]*)$/;
				$result{recipient_domain} = ($1 || '');
       			       	return %result;
			},

	# do NOT remove the next line
	);

B<COMPARE>

Compare plugins allow you to define how your new items should be compared to the ruleset.
These are optional. If you don't specify one, the default (== for exact match, =~ for PCRE, ...)
will be used.

	SYNOPSIS:  <item> => sub { return &{$postfwd_compare{<type>}}(@_); },

	# do NOT remove the next line
	%postfwd_compare_plugin = (

		EXAMPLES - integrated in postfwd. no need to activate them here.
	
			# Simple example
			# SYNOPSIS:  <result> = <item> (return &{$postfwd_compare{<type>}}(@_))
			"client_address"  => sub { return &{$postfwd_compare{cidr}}(@_); },
			"size"            => sub { return &{$postfwd_compare{numeric}}(@_); },
			"recipient_count" => sub { return &{$postfwd_compare{numeric}}(@_); },
	
			# Complex example
			# SYNOPSIS:  <result> = <item>(<operator>, <ruleset value>, <request value>, <request>)
			"numeric" => sub {
				my($cmp,$val,$myitem,%request) = @_;
				my($myresult) = undef;	$myitem ||= "0"; $val ||= "0";
				if ($cmp eq '==') {
					$myresult = ($myitem == $val);
				} elsif ($cmp eq '=<') {
					$myresult = ($myitem <= $val);
				} elsif ($cmp eq '=>') {
					$myresult = ($myitem >= $val);
				} elsif ($cmp eq '!=') {
					$myresult = not($myitem == $val);
				} elsif ($cmp eq '!<') {
					$myresult = not($myitem <= $val);
				} elsif ($cmp eq '!>') {
					$myresult = not($myitem >= $val);
				} else {
					$myresult = ($myitem >= $val);
				};
				return $myresult;
			},

	# do NOT remove the next line
	);

B<ACTIONS>

Action plugins allow to define new postfwd actions. By setting the $stop-flag you can decide to
continue or to stop parsing the ruleset.

	SYNOPSIS:  (<stop rule parsing>, <next rule index>, <return action>, <logprefix>, <request>) =
			<action> (<current rule index>, <current time>, <command name>, <argument>, <logprefix>, <request>)

	# do NOT remove the next line
	%postfwd_actions_plugin = (

		# EXAMPLES - integrated in postfwd. no need to activate them here.
	
			# note(<logstring>) command
			"note"  => sub {
				my($index,$now,$mycmd,$myarg,$myline,%request) = @_;
				my($myaction) = $default_action; my($stop) = 0;
				mylogs 'info', "[RULES] ".$myline." - note: ".$myarg if $myarg;
				return ($stop,$index,$myaction,$myline,%request);
			},
	
			# skips next <myarg> rules
        		"skip" => sub {
				my($index,$now,$mycmd,$myarg,$myline,%request) = @_;
				my($myaction) = $default_action; my($stop) = 0;
				$index += $myarg if ( $myarg and not(($index + $myarg) > $#Rules) );
				return ($stop,$index,$myaction,$myline,%request);
        		},
	
			# dumps current request contents to syslog
        		"dumprequest" => sub {
				my($index,$now,$mycmd,$myarg,$myline,%request) = @_;
				my($myaction) = $default_action; my($stop) = 0;
				map { mylogs 'info', "[DUMP] rule=$index, Attribute: $_=$request{$_}" } (keys %request);
				return ($stop,$index,$myaction,$myline,%request);
        		},

	# do NOT remove the next line
	);


=head2 COMMAND LINE

I<Ruleset>

The following arguments are used to specify the source of the postfwd ruleset. This means
that at least one of the following is required for postfwd to work.

	-f, --file <file>
	Reads rules from <file>. Please see the CONFIGURATION section
	below for more information.

	-r, --rule <rule>
	Adds <rule> to ruleset. Remember that you might have to quote
	strings that contain whitespaces or shell characters.

I<Scoring>

	-s, --scores <val>=<action>
	Returns <action> to postfix, when the request's score exceeds <val>

Multiple usage is allowed. Just chain your arguments, like:

	postfwd -r "<item>=<value>;action=<result>" -f <file> -f <file> ...
	  or
	postfwd --scores 4.5="WARN high score" --scores 5.0="REJECT postfwd score too high" ...

In case of multiple scores, the highest match will count. The order of the arguments will be
reflected in the postfwd ruleset.

I<Control>

	-d, --daemon
	postfwd will run as daemon and listen on the network for incoming
	queries (default 127.0.0.1:10040).

	-k, --kill
	Stops a running postfwd daemon.

	--reload
	Reloads configuration.

	--dumpstats
	Displays program usage statistics.

	--dumpcache
	Displays cache contents.

I<Networking>

postfwd can be run as daemon so that it listens on the network for incoming requests.
The following arguments will control it's behaviour in this case.

	-i, --interface <dev>
	Bind postfwd to the specified interface (default 127.0.0.1).

	-p, --port <port>
	postfwd listens on the specified port (default tcp/10040).

	--proto <type>
	The protocol type for postfwd's socket. Currently you may use 'tcp' or 'unix' here.
	To use postfwd with a unix domain socket, run it as follows:
	    postfwd --proto=unix --port=/somewhere/postfwd.socket

	-u, --user <name>
	Changes real and effective user to <name>.

	-g, --group <name>
	Changes real and effective group to <name>.

	--umask <mask>
	Changes the umask for filepermissions (unix domain sockets, pidfiles).
	Attention: This is umask, not chmod - you have to specify the bits that
	should NOT apply. E.g.: umask 077 equals to chmod 700.

	-R, --chroot <path>
	Chroot the process to the specified path.
	Test this before using - you might need some libs there.

	--pidfile <path>
	The process id will be saved in the specified file.

	--facility <f>
	sets the syslog facility, default is 'mail'

	--socktype <s>
	sets the Sys::Syslog socktype to 'native', 'inet' or 'unix'.
	Default is to auto-detect this depening on module version and os.

	-l, --logname <label>
	Labels the syslog messages. Useful when running multiple
	instances of postfwd.

	--loglen <int>
	Truncates any syslog message after <int> characters.

I<Plugins>

	--plugins <file>
	Loads postfwd plugins from file. Please see http://postfwd.org/postfwd.plugins
	or the plugins.postfwd.sample that is available from the tarball for more info.

I<Optional arguments>

These parameters influence the way postfwd is working. Any of them can be combined.

	-v, --verbose
	Verbose logging displays a lot of useful information but can cause
	your logfiles to grow noticeably. So use it with caution. Set the option
	twice (-vv) to get more information (logs all request attributes).

	-c, --cache <int>    (default=600)
	Timeout for request cache, results for identical requests will be
	cached until config is reloaded or this time (in seconds) expired.
	A setting of 0 disables this feature.

	--cache-no-size
	Ignores size attribute for cache comparisons which will lead to better
	cache-hit rates. You should set this option, if you don't use the size
	item in your ruleset.

	--cache-no-sender
	Ignores sender address for cache comparisons which will lead to better
	cache-hit rates. You should set this option, if you don't use the sender
	item in your ruleset.

	--cache-rdomain-only 
	This will strip the localpart of the recipient's address before filling the
	cache. This may considerably increase cache-hit rates.

	--cache-rbl-timeout <timeout>     (default=3600)
	This default value will be used as timeout in seconds for rbl cache items,
	if not specified in the ruleset.

	--cache-rbl-default <pattern>    (default=^127\.0\.0\.\d+$)
	Matches <pattern> to rbl/rhsbl answers (regexp) if not specified in the ruleset.

	--cacheid <item>, <item>, ...
	This csv-separated list of request attributes will be used to construct
	the request cache identifier. Use this only, if you know exactly what you
	are doing. If you, for example, use postfwd only for RBL/RHSBL control,
	you may set this to
		postfwd --cache=3600 --cacheid=client_name,client_address
	This increases efficiency of caching and improves postfwd's performance.
	Warning: You should list all items here, which are used in your ruleset!

	--cleanup-requests <interval>    (default=600)
	The request cache will be searched for timed out items after this <interval> in
	seconds. It is a minimum value. The cleanup process will only take place, when
	a new request arrives.

	--cleanup-rbls <interval>    (default=600)
	The rbl cache will be searched for timed out items after this <interval> in
	seconds. It is a minimum value. The cleanup process will only take place, when
	a new request arrives.

	--cleanup-rates <interval>    (default=600)
	The rate cache will be searched for timed out items after this <interval> in
	seconds. It is a minimum value. The cleanup process will only take place, when
	a new request arrives.

	-S, --summary <int>    (default=600)
	Shows some usage statistics (program uptime, request counter, matching rules)
	every <int> seconds. This option is included by the -v switch.
	This feature uses the alarm signal, so you can force postfwd to dump the stats
	using `kill -ALRM <pid>` (where <pid> is the process id of postfwd).

	Example:
	Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Counters: 213000 seconds uptime, 39 rules
	Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Requests: 71643 overall, 49 last interval, 62.88% cache hits
	Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Averages: 20.18 overall, 4.90 last interval, 557.30 top
	Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Contents: 44 cached requests, 239 cached dnsbl results
	Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Rule ID: R-001   matched: 2704 times
	Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Rule ID: R-002   matched: 9351 times
	Aug 19 12:39:45 mail1 postfwd[666]: [STATS] Rule ID: R-003   matched: 3116 times
	...

	--no-rulestats
	Disables per rule statistics. Keeps your log clean, if you do not use them.
	This option has no effect without --summary or --verbose set.

	-L, --stdoutlog
	Redirects all syslog messages to stdout for debugging. Never use this with postfix!

	-t, --test
	In test mode postfwd always returns "dunno", but logs according
	to it`s ruleset. -v will be set automatically with this option.

	-n, --nodns
	Disables all DNS based checks like RBL checks. Rules containing
	such elements will be ignored.

	-n, --nodnslog
	Disables logging of dns events.

	--dns_timeout     (default: 14)
	Sets the timeout for asynchonous dns queries in seconds. This value will apply to
	all dns items in a rule.

	--dns_timeout_max    (default: 10)
	Sets the maximum timeout counter for dnsbl lookups. If the timeouts exceed this value
	the corresponding dnsbl will be deactivated for a while (see --dns_timeout_interval).

	--dns_timeout_interval    (default=1200)
	The dnsbl timeout counter will be cleaned after this interval in seconds. Use this
	in conjunction with the --dns_timeout_max parameter.

	--dns_async_txt
	Perform dnsbl A and TXT lookups simultaneously (otherwise only for listings with at
	least one A record). This needs more network bandwidth due to increased queries but
	might increase throughput because the lookups can be parallelized.

	--dns_max_ns_lookups     (default=0)
	maximum ns names to lookup up with sender_ns_addrs item. use 0 for no maximum.

	--dns_max_mx_lookups     (default=0)
	maximum mx names to lookup up with sender_mx_addrs item. use 0 for no maximum.

	-I, --instantcfg
	The config files, specified by -f will be re-read for every request
	postfwd receives. This enables on-the-fly configuration changes
	without restarting. Though files will be read only if necessary
	(which means their access times changed since last read) this might
	significantly increase system load.

	--keep_rates    (default=0)
	With this option set postfwd does not clear the rate limit counters on reload. Please
	note that you have to restart (not reload) postfwd with this option if you change
	any rate limit rules.

	--config_timeout    (default=3)
	timeout in seconds to parse a single configuration line. if exceeded, the rule will
	be skipped. this is used to prevent problems due to large files or loops.
	

I<Informational arguments>

These arguments are for command line usage only. Never ever use them with postfix spawn!

	-C, --showconfig
	Displays the current ruleset. Use -v for verbose output.

	-P, --perfmon
	This option turns of any syslogging and output. It is included
	for performance testing.

	-V, --version
	Displays the program version.

	-h, --help
	Shows program usage.

	-m, --manual
	Displays the program manual.


=head2 REFRESH

In daemon mode postfwd reloads it's ruleset after receiving a HUP signal. Please see the description of
the '-I' switch to have your configuration refreshed for every request postfwd receives.

=head2 PARSER

I<Configuration>

The postfwd ruleset can be specified at the commandline (-r option) or be read from files (-f). The order of your arguments will be kept. You should
check the parser with the -C | --showconfig switch at the command line before applying a new config. The following call:

	postfwd --showconfig \
		-r "id=TEST; recipient_count=100; action=WARN mail with 100+ recipients" \
		-f /etc/postfwd.cf \
		-r "id=DEFAULT; action=dunno";

will produce the following output:

	Rule   0: id->"TEST" action->"WARN mail with 100+ recipients"; recipient_count->"100"
	...
	... <content of /etc/postfwd.cf> ...
	...
	Rule <n>: id->"DEFAULT" action->"dunno"

Multiple items of the same type will be added to lists (see the L</ITEMS> section for more info):

	postfwd --showconfig \
		-r "client_address=192.168.1.0/24; client_address=172.16.26.32; action=dunno"

will result in:

	Rule   0: id->"R-0"; action->"dunno"; client_address->"192.168.1.0/24, 172.16.26.32"

Macros are evaluated at configuration stage, which means that

	postfwd --showconfig \
		-r "&&RBLS { rbl=bl.spamcop.net; client_name=^unknown$; };" \
		-r "id=RBL001; &&RBLS; action=REJECT listed on spamcop and bad rdns";

will result in:

	Rule   0: id->"RBL001"; action->"REJECT listed on spamcop and bad rdns"; rbl->"bl.spamcop.net"; client_name->"^unknown$"

I<Request processing>

When a policy delegation request arrives it will be compared against postfwd`s ruleset. To inspect the processing in detail you should increase
verbority using use the "-v" or "-vv" switch. "-L" redirects log messages to stdout.

Keeping the order of the ruleset in general, items will be compared in random order, which basically means that

	id=R001; action=dunno; client_address=192.168.1.1; sender=bob@alice.local

equals to

	id=R001; sender=bob@alice.local; client_address=192.168.1.1; action=dunno

Lists will be evaluated in the specified order. This allows to place faster expressions at first:

	postfwd -vv -L -r "id=RBL001; rbl=localrbl.local zen.spamhaus.org; action=REJECT" /some/where/request.sample

produces the following

	[LOGS info]: compare rbl: "remotehost.remote.net[68.10.1.7]"  ->  "localrbl.local"
	[LOGS info]: count1 rbl:  "2"  ->  "0"
	[LOGS info]: query rbl:   localrbl.local 7.1.10.68 (7.1.10.68.localrbl.local)
	[LOGS info]: count2 rbl:  "2"  ->  "0"
	[LOGS info]: match rbl:   FALSE
	[LOGS info]: compare rbl: "remotehost.remote.net[68.10.1.7]"  ->  "zen.spamhaus.org"
	[LOGS info]: count1 rbl:  "2"  ->  "0"
	[LOGS info]: query rbl:   zen.spamhaus.org 7.1.10.68 (7.1.10.68.zen.spamhaus.org)
	[LOGS info]: count2 rbl:  "2"  ->  "0"
	[LOGS info]: match rbl:   FALSE
	[LOGS info]: Action: dunno

The negation operator !!(<value>) has the highest priority and therefore will be evaluated first. Then variable substitutions are performed:

	postfwd -vv -L -r "id=TEST; action=REJECT; client_name=!!($$heloname)" /some/where/request.sample

will give

	[LOGS info]: compare client_name:     "unknown"  ->  "!!($$helo_name)"
	[LOGS info]: negate client_name:      "unknown"  ->  "$$helo_name"
	[LOGS info]: substitute client_name:  "unknown"  ->  "english-breakfast.cloud8.net"
	[LOGS info]: match client_name:  TRUE
	[LOGS info]: Action: REJECT


I<Ruleset evaluation>

A rule hits when all items (or at least one element of a list for each item) have matched. As soon as one item (or all elements of a list) fails
to compare against the request attribute the parser will jump to the next rule in the postfwd ruleset.

If a rule matches, there are two options:

* Rule returns postfix action (dunno, reject, ...)
The parser stops rule processing and returns the action to postfix. Other rules will not be evaluated.

* Rule returns postfwd action (jump(), note(), ...)
The parser evaluates the given action and continues with the next rule (except for the jump() or quit() actions - please see the L</ACTIONS> section
for more information). Nothing will be sent to postfix.

If no rule has matched and the end of the ruleset is reached postfwd will return dunno without logging anything unless in verbose mode. You may
simply place a last `catch-all´ rule to change that behaviour:

	... <your rules> ...
	id=DEFAULT ;  action=dunno

will log any request that passes the ruleset without having hit a prior rule.


=head2 INTEGRATION

I<Integration via daemon mode>

The common way to use postfwd is to start it as daemon, listening at a specified tcp port.
As postfwd will run in a single instance (multiplexing mode), it will take most benefit of
it`s internal caching in that case. Start postfwd with the following parameters:

	postfwd -d -f /etc/postfwd.cf -i 127.0.0.1 -p 10040 -u nobody -g nobody -S

For efficient caching you should check if you can use the options --cache-rdomain-only, --cache-no-sender
and --cache-no-size.

Now check your syslogs (default facility "mail") for a line like:

	Aug  9 23:00:24 mail postfwd[5158]: postfwd n.nn ready for input

and use `netstat -an|grep 10040` to check for something like

	tcp  0  0  127.0.0.1:10040  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN

If everything works, open your postfix main.cf and insert the following

	127.0.0.1:10040_time_limit      = 3600						<--- integration
	smtpd_recipient_restrictions    = permit_mynetworks				<--- recommended
                                  	  reject_unauth_destination			<--- recommended
				  	  check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10040	<--- integration

Reload your configuration with `postfix reload` and watch your logs. In it works you should see
lines like the following in your mail log:

	Aug  9 23:01:24 mail postfwd[5158]: rule=22, id=ML_POSTFIX, client=english-breakfast.cloud9.net[168.100.1.7], sender=owner-postfix-users@postfix.tld, recipient=someone@domain.local, helo=english-breakfast.cloud9.net, proto=ESMTP, state=RCPT, action=dunno

If you want to check for size or rcpt_count items you must integrate postfwd in smtp_data_restrictions or
smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions. Of course you can also specify a restriction class and use it in your access
tables. First create a file /etc/postfix/policy containing:

	domain1.local		postfwdcheck
	domain2.local		postfwdcheck
	...

Then postmap that file (`postmap hash:/etc/postfix/policy`), open your main.cf and enter

	# Restriction Classes
	smtpd_restriction_classes       = postfwdcheck, <some more>...				<--- integration
	postfwdcheck                    = check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10040		<--- integration

	127.0.0.1:10040_time_limit      = 3600							<--- integration
	smtpd_recipient_restrictions    = permit_mynetworks,					<--- recommended
                                  	  reject_unauth_destination,				<--- recommended
				  	  ...							<--- optional
				  	  check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/policy,	<--- integration
				  	  ...							<--- optional

Reload postfix and watch your logs.

I<Integration via xinetd>

There might be several reasons for you to use postfwd via a tcp wrapper package like xinetd (see L<http://www.xinetd.org/>).
I won`t discuss that here. If you plan to do so, just add the following line to your /etc/services file:

	# postfwd port
	postfwd     10040/tcp

Then create a file '/etc/xinetd.d/postfwd':

	{
		interface       = 127.0.0.1
		socket_type     = stream
		protocol        = tcp
		wait            = no
		user            = nobody
		server          = /usr/local/bin/postfwd
		server_args     = -f /etc/postfwd.cf
		disable         = no
	}

and restart the xinetd daemon (usually a SIGHUP should be fine). If you experience problems
you might want to check your system's log for xinetd errors like "socket already in use".

The integration with postfix is similar to the I<Integration via daemon mode> section above.
Reload postfix and watch your logs to see if everything works.


=head2 TESTING

First you have to create a ruleset (see Configuration section). Check it with

	postfwd -f /etc/postfwd.cf -C

There is an example policy request distributed with postfwd, called 'request.sample'.
Simply change it to meet your requirements and use

	postfwd -f /etc/postfwd.cf <request.sample

You should get an answer like

	action=<whateveryouconfigured>

For network tests I use netcat:

	nc 127.0.0.1 10040 <request.sample

to send a request to postfwd. If you receive nothing, make sure that postfwd is running and
listening on the specified network settings.


=head2 PERFORMANCE

Some of these proposals might not match your environment. Please check your requirements and test new options carefully!

	- use caching options
	- use the correct match operator ==, <=, >=
	- use ^ and/or $ in regular expressions
	- use item lists (faster than single rules)
	- use set() action on repeated item lists
	- use jumps and rate limits
	- use a pre-lookup rule for rbl/rhsbls with empty note() action
