TLSPROXY(8) TLSPROXY(8)
<b>NAME</b>
tlsproxy - Postfix TLS proxy
<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<b>tlsproxy</b> [generic Postfix daemon options]
<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
The <a href="tlsproxy.8.html"><b>tlsproxy</b>(8)</a> server implements a server-side TLS proxy. It is used
by <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> to talk SMTP-over-TLS with remote SMTP clients that
are not whitelisted (including clients whose whitelist status has
expired), but it should also work for non-SMTP protocols.
Although one <a href="tlsproxy.8.html"><b>tlsproxy</b>(8)</a> process can serve multiple sessions at the
same time, it is a good idea to allow the number of processes to
increase with load, so that the service remains responsive.
<b>PROTOCOL EXAMPLE</b>
The example below concerns <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a>. However, the <a href="tlsproxy.8.html"><b>tlsproxy</b>(8)</a>
server is agnostic of the application protocol, and the example is eas-
ily adapted to other applications.
After receiving a valid remote SMTP client STARTTLS command, the
<a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> server sends the remote SMTP client endpoint string, the
requested role (server), and the requested timeout to <a href="tlsproxy.8.html"><b>tlsproxy</b>(8)</a>.
<a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> then receives a "TLS available" indication from
<a href="tlsproxy.8.html"><b>tlsproxy</b>(8)</a>. If the TLS service is available, <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> sends the
remote SMTP client file descriptor to <a href="tlsproxy.8.html"><b>tlsproxy</b>(8)</a>, and sends the plain-
text 220 greeting to the remote SMTP client. This triggers TLS negoti-
ations between the remote SMTP client and <a href="tlsproxy.8.html"><b>tlsproxy</b>(8)</a>. Upon completion
of the TLS-level handshake, <a href="tlsproxy.8.html"><b>tlsproxy</b>(8)</a> translates between plaintext
from/to <a href="postscreen.8.html"><b>postscreen</b>(8)</a> and ciphertext to/from the remote SMTP client.
<b>SECURITY</b>
The <a href="tlsproxy.8.html"><b>tlsproxy</b>(8)</a> server is moderately security-sensitive. It talks to
untrusted clients on the network. The process can be run chrooted at
fixed low privilege.
<b>DIAGNOSTICS</b>
Problems and transactions are logged to <b>syslogd</b>(8).
<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
Changes to <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> are not picked up automatically, as <a href="tlsproxy.8.html"><b>tlsproxy</b>(8)</a> pro-
cesses may run for a long time depending on mail server load. Use the
command "<b>postfix reload</b>" to speed up a change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>postconf</b>(5)</a> for
more details including examples.
