Postfix/local

About
The local daemon processes delivery requests from the Postfix queue manager to deliver mail to local recipients. Each delivery  request  specifies  a queue file, a sender address, a domain or host to deliver to, and one  or  more recipients. This program expects to be run from the master process manager.

The local daemon updates queue files and marks recipients as finished, or it informs the queue manager that delivery should be tried again at a later time. Delivery status reports are sent to the bounce, defer, or trace daemon as appropriate.
