Shell to use for delivery to external command
If a command shell is required to communicate properly with your chosen local delivery transport,
this option selects the one that will be used. By default, no shell is used and the transport command
will be executed directly. However, if the command contains shell meta-characters or shell built-in
commands, they will be passed to /bin/sh or whatever shell you configure here. A popular choice
for this is smrsh, or Sendmail’s Restricted Shell, which is included in recent Sendmail distributions.
smrsh allows more precise control over what commands users can execute from their .forward files.
This option corresponds to the local_command_shell and defaults to /bin/sh.
Search list for forward
This is a comma-separated list of possible locations for user forward files. Postfix will try each
entry in the list until a forward file is found, or until all have been checked and no match is found.
The forward file allows users to configure delivery options for themselves, including delivery-time
processing by a program like procmail, as well as the forwarding of messages to a different server. A
number of variable expansions are performed on the entries. The expansions:
Forward search path variable expansions
$user
The user name of the recipient.
$shell
The shell of the recipient.
$home
Recipient’s home directory.
$recipient
The full recipient address.
$extensions
Recipient address extensions. This is a separate part of the email address, separated by the
Separator between user names and address extensions defined on the General Options page.
$domain
The recipient’s domain name.
$local
The entire local part of the recipient address.
$recipient_delimiter
The separation delimiter for the recipient.
