NAME

mta-sts-daemon - provide MTA-STS policy to Postfix as policy map

SYNOPSIS

mta-sts-daemon [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

This daemon opens a socket where Postfix can query and retrieve the MTA-STS policy for a domain. The configuration file is described in mta-sts-daemon.yml(5).

MTA-STS, specified in RFC 8461 [0], is a security standard for email servers. When a site configures MTA-STS, other mail servers can require the successful authentication of that site when forwarding mail there.

smtp_tls_policy_maps = socketmap:inet:127.0.0.1:8461:postfix
smtp_tls_CApath = /etc/ssl/certs/
