The man page says:
The spawn(8) daemon provides the Postfix equivalent of inetd. It lis- tens on a port as specified in the Postfix master.cf file and spawns an external command whenever a connection is established. The connection can be made over local IPC (such as UNIX-domain sockets) or over non- local IPC (such as TCP sockets). The command's standard input, output and error streams are connected directly to the communication endpoint. But where is the behaviour documented, that these communication endpoints end up in $queue_directory/private/<servicename> ? -- Ralf Hildebrandt (Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de) spamtrap@charite.de http://www.postfix-book.com/ Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 Why you can't find your system administrators: they're busy rerouting their support telephone to the luser of the day |
