NAME

       lmtpproxyd - Cyrus IMAP documentation

       This  is  a hard linked copy of lmtpd(8), retained for backwards compatibility from when a
       murder frontend used its own lmtpd binaries.

SYNOPSIS

          lmtpd [ -C config-file ]  [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ] [ -a ]

DESCRIPTION

       lmtpd is an LMTP server used to deliver mail to the IMAP mailstore.  It  accepts  commands
       on its standard input and responds on its standard output. It MUST be invoked by master(8)
       with those descriptors attached to a remote client connection.

       lmtpd reads its configuration options out  of  the  imapd.conf(5)  file  unless  specified
       otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
              Use   the   specified  configuration  file  config-file  rather  than  the  default
              imapd.conf(5).

       -U uses
              The maximum number of times that the process should be  used  for  new  connections
              before shutting down.  The default is 250.

       -T timeout
              The  number  of  seconds  that  the  process  will wait for a new connection before
              shutting down.  Note that a value of  0  (zero)  will  disable  the  timeout.   The
              default is 60.

       -D     Run external debugger specified in debug_command.

       -a     Preauthorize connections initiated on an internet socket, instead of requiring LMTP
              AUTH.  This should only be used for connections coming from trusted hosts.

EXAMPLES

       lmtpd is commonly included in the SERVICES section of cyrus.conf(5) like so:

          SERVICES {
              imap        cmd="imapd -U 30" listen="imap" prefork=0
              imaps       cmd="imapd -s -U 30" listen="imaps" prefork=0 maxchild=100
              lmtpunix    cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp" prefork=0 maxchild=20
              sieve       cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0
              notify      cmd="notifyd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/notify" proto="udp" prefork=1
              httpd       cmd="httpd" listen=8080 prefork=1 maxchild=20
          }
