+DESCRIPTION
+ INTRODUCTION
+ hapolicy enables high availability, weighted loadbalancing and a
+ fallback action for postfix policy delegation services. Invoked via
+ postfix spawn it acts as a wrapper that queries other policy servers via
+ tcp connection. The order of the service queries can be influenced by
+ assigning a specific priority and weight to each service. A service is
+ considered 'failing', if the connection is refused or the specified
+ service timeout is reached. If all of the configured policy services
+ were failing, hapolicy returns a default action (e.g. dunno) to postfix.
+
+ With version 1.00 hapolicy has less than 200 lines of perl code using
+ only standard perl modules. It does not require any disk access nor
+ configuration files and runs under an unpriviledged user account. This
+ should allow fast and reliable operation.
+
+ CONFIGURATION
+ A service has the following attributes
+
+ "servicename" => {
+ ip => '127.0.0.1', # ip address
+ port => '10040', # tcp port
+ prio => '10', # optional, lower wins
+ weight => '1', # optional, for items with same prio (weighted round-robin), higher is better
+ timeout => '30', # optional, query timeout in seconds
+ },
+
+ You may define multiple services at the command line. Which means that
+
+ hapolicy -s "grey1=10.0.0.1:10031:10" -s "grey2=10.0.0.2:10031:20"
+
+ will always try first service *grey1* at ip 10.0.0.1 port 10031 and if
+ that service is not available or does not answer within the default of
+ 30 seconds the next service *grey2* at ip 10.0.0.2 port 10031 will be
+ queried.
+
+ If you want to load balance connections you may define
+
+ hapolicy -s "polw1=10.0.0.1:12525:10:2" -s "polw2=10.0.0.2:12525:10:1"
+
+ which queries service *polw1* at ip 10.0.0.1 twice as much as service
+ *polw2* at ip 10.0.0.2. Note that this setup also ensures high
+ availability for both services. If *polw1* is not available or does not
+ answer within the default of 30 seconds *polw2* will be queried and vice
+ versa. There is no reason to define a service twice.
+
+ INTEGRATION
+ Enter the following at the bottom of your postfix master.cf (usually
+ located at /etc/postfix):
+
+ # service description, note the leading blanks at the second line
+ 127.0.0.1:10060 inet n n n - 0 spawn
+ user=nobody argv=/usr/local/bin/hapolicy -l -s GREY1=10.0.0.1:10031:10 -s GREY2=10.0.0.2:10031:10
+
+ save the file and open postfix main.cf. Modify it as follows:
+
+ 127.0.0.1:10060_time_limit = 3600
+
+ smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
+ permit_mynetworks,
+ ... other authed permits ...
+ reject_unauth_destination,
+ ... other restrictions ...
+ check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10060 # <- hapolicy query
+
+ Now issue 'postfix reload' at the command line. Of course you can have
+ more enhanced setups using postfix restriction classes. Please see
+ "LINKS" for further options.

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

+=======================
+If you care about security and want to run postfwd2 within a chroot environment you have to setup it up before. This document will give you an idea about what has to be prepared.

+postfwd2 1.32
+=============
+- feature: new option --save_rates= allows to load and save

+- feature: nested commands are possible now, e.g.:
+ ------------------------------------------------------------
+ # throttle
+ action=rate(client_address/10/60/wait(3))
+ ------------------------------------------------------------
+- feature: new mail(server/helo/from/to/subject/body) action.

+ ------------------------------------------------------------
+ # alert
+ action=size(recipient_domain/100000000/86400/mail(mailhost/helo/from/to/subject/text))

+ Look for his notes at http://postfwd.org/postfwd2-chroot.html
+ on how to set up the required chroot environment.

+postfwd2 1.31
+=============
+- feature: single cache items can be wiped using --delcache
+ or --delrate options. use --dumpcache to identify
+- feature: sasl_username is logged if available
+ (thanks to Bernhard Schmidt)
+- code: rate limit action is executed, if the first request exceeds the limit
+- code: exceeded ratecounters will not be kept permanently anymore. this
+ allows further requests to pass, if they are below the limit
+- code: rate limits are evaluated at ruleset stage now, which leads to

+ if the following lines are prefixed by whitespace characters:
+ --------------------------------------
+ id=RCPTCOUNT
+ protocol_state == END-OF-MESSAGE
+ client_address != 10.1.1.0/24

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

+
+ A good point to start is postfwd's manual. You should be able to view it using the `postfwd -m` command or visit the documentation page. There are also some configuration examples on the webpage. Another very useful source of information is the Postfix SMTP Access Policy Delegation documentation.

+
+
+
+As you might have noticed, there are two different versions of postfwd available - postfwd(1) and postfwd2.
+Which version fits best for you depends on your setup. Both versions use the same ruleset parser*. They also share the basic command line arguments (use both with --help for details). This allows to switch easily between them.
+
+The following table might help you to decide which version to use. Basically you should stick with postfwd1 for the moment unless you encounter performance issues with dns based checks or very complex rulesets with thousands
+of checks. Please note that, due to implementation, rate limits are handled faster by postfwd1 at the moment. If performance really matters and you use a complex ruleset with rate limits and lots of dns based checks you should consider
+running two instances at different ports/sockets: postfwd1 for the rate limits and postfwd2 for the rest.

+\&\fBDescription\fR
+.PP
+The plugin interface allow you to define your own checks and enhance postfwd's
+functionality. Feel free to share useful things!
+.PP
+\&\fBWarning\fR
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+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).
+.PP
+\&\fB\s-1ITEMS\s0\fR
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+plugin-items can not be used selective. these functions will be executed for every
+request postfwd receives, so keep performance in mind.
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& SYNOPSIS: %result = postfwd_items_plugin{}(%request)
+.Ve
+.PP
+means that your subroutine, called , has access to a hash called \f(CW%request\fR,
+which contains all request attributes, like \f(CW$request\fR{client_name} and must
+return a value in the following form:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& save: $result{} =
+.Ve
+.PP
+this creates the new item containing , which will be integrated in
+the policy delegation request and therefore may be used in postfwd's ruleset.
