NAME

6       dbmail-lmtpd - receive messages from an MTA supporting the Lightweight
7       Mail Transport Protocol, as specified in RFC 2033.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       dbmail-lmtpd [-f configfile] [-p pidfile] [-nvVh]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The dbmail-lmtpd daemon will spawn child processes as specified in the
14       dbmail.conf file. These processes listen, by default, on port 24 of the
15       localhost interface. Mail Transfer Agents, MTA's such as Postfix and
16       Exim, speak LMTP to their Mail Delivery Agents which receive and store
17       messages. DBMail implements such a system using a database backend.

OPTIONS

20       -p pidfile
21          Specify an alternate pid file. The daemons are currently hardcoded
22          to use /var/run/dbmail-<daemon> for their pid files, and will halt
23          if the pid file cannot be written. Use the -p pidfile option to
24          place the pid file in your system's preferred location.
25
26       -n
27          No daemonize. The program remains attached to the console from which
28          it was started. This is quite useful for debugging when combined
29          with the -v option.
30

COMMON OPTIONS

32       -f configfile
33          Specify an alternate config file. The utilities are currently
34          hardcoded to use /etc/dbmail.conf for their configs, and will halt
35          if the config file cannot be found. Use the -f configfile option to
36          specify your system's preferred config file location.
37
38       -q
39          Quietly skip interactive prompts and helpful status messages which
40          would otherwise be printed to stdout. Use two -q's to silence errors
41          which would otherwise be printed to stderr.
42
43       -v
44          Operate verbosely. Some of the utilities in the DBMail suite can
45          take two -v's for extra verbosity. Those which don't understand this
46          convention won't complain about having the extra -v and will simply
47          operate at their normal verbosity.
48
49       -V
50          Show the version and copyright, then exit.
51
52       -h
53          Show a brief summary of options, then exit.
