Postfix shared connection cache server
SYNOPSIS
scache [generic Postfix daemon options]
DESCRIPTION
The scache(8) server maintains a shared multi-connection
cache. This information can be used by, for example, Postfix
SMTP clients or other Postfix delivery agents.
The connection cache is organized into logical destination
names, physical endpoint names, and connections.
As a specific example, logical SMTP destinations specify
(transport, domain, port), and physical SMTP endpoints
specify (transport, IP address, port). An SMTP connection
may be saved after a successful mail transaction.
In the general case, one logical destination may refer to
zero or more physical endpoints, one physical endpoint may
be referenced by zero or more logical destinations, and
one endpoint may refer to zero or more connections.
The exact syntax of a logical destination or endpoint name
is application dependent; the scache(8) server does
not care. A connection is stored as a file descriptor together
with application-dependent information that is needed to
re-activate a connection object. Again, the scache(8)
server is completely unaware of the details of that
information.
All information is stored with a finite time to live (ttl).
The connection cache daemon terminates when no client is
connected for max_idle time units.
Save the specified file descriptor and connection property data
under the specified endpoint name. The endpoint properties
are used by the client to re-activate a passivated connection
object.
find_endp endpoint
Look up cached properties and a cached file descriptor for the
specified endpoint.
Save the binding between a logical destination and an
endpoint under the destination name, together with destination
specific connection properties. The destination properties
are used by the client to re-activate a passivated connection
object.
find_dest destination
Look up cached destination properties, cached endpoint properties,
and a cached file descriptor for the specified logical destination.
SECURITY
The scache(8) server is not security-sensitive. It does not
talk to the network, and it does not talk to local users.
The scache(8) server can run chrooted at fixed low privilege.
The scache(8) server is not a trusted process. It must
not be used to store information that is security sensitive.
DIAGNOSTICS
Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8).
BUGS
The session cache cannot be shared among multiple machines.
When a connection expires from the cache, it is closed without
the appropriate protocol specific handshake.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
Changes to main.cf are picked up automatically as scache(8)
processes run for only a limited amount of time. Use the command
"postfix reload" to speed up a change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
postconf(5) for more details including examples.
RESOURCE CONTROLS
connection_cache_ttl_limit (2s)
The maximal time-to-live value that the scache(8) connection
cache server
allows.
connection_cache_status_update_time (600s)
How frequently the scache(8) server logs usage statistics with
connection cache hit and miss rates for logical destinations and for
physical endpoints.
MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS
config_directory (see 'postconf -d' output)
The default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf
configuration files.
daemon_timeout (18000s)
How much time a Postfix daemon process may take to handle a
request before it is terminated by a built-in watchdog timer.
ipc_timeout (3600s)
The time limit for sending or receiving information over an internal
communication channel.
max_idle (100s)
The maximum amount of time that an idle Postfix daemon process
waits for the next service request before exiting.
process_id (read-only)
The process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process.
process_name (read-only)
The process name of a Postfix command or daemon process.
syslog_facility (mail)
The syslog facility of Postfix logging.
syslog_name (postfix)
The mail system name that is prepended to the process name in syslog
records, so that "smtpd" becomes, for example, "postfix/smtpd".
