DESCRIPTION

15       Lmtpd is an LMTP server used to deliver mail to the IMAP mailstore.  It
16       accepts commands on its standard input and  responds  on  its  standard
17       output.   It  MUST  be  invoked  by  master(8)  with  those descriptors
18       attached to a remote client connection.
19
20       Lmtpd reads its configuration options out  of  the  imapd.conf(5)  file
21       unless specified otherwise by -C.
22

OPTIONS

24       -C config-file
25              Read configuration options from config-file.
26
27       -U uses
28              The  maximum number of times that the process should be used for
29              new connections before shutting down.  The default is 250.
30
31       -T timeout
32              The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new  con‐
33              nection  before  shutting  down.   Note that a value of 0 (zero)
34              will disable the timeout.  The default is 60.
35
36       -D     Run external debugger specified in debug_command.
37
38       -a     Preauthorize  connections  initiated  on  an  internet   socket,
39              instead  of  requiring  LMTP AUTH.  This should only be used for
40              connections coming from trusted hosts.
