NAME

       lmtpd - LMTP server process

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
       cyrmaster(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
              Read configuration options from config-file.

       -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.
