14 notifyd is a daemon started from master(8) that handles notification
15 requests on behalf of lmtpd(8). Notifyd accepts the request and per‐
16 forms the notification using the method specified in the request.
17
18 Note that for notifyd to run properly you must set proto=udp in its
19 cyrus.conf(5) services entry. prefork=1 is also recommended.
20
21 notifyd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
22 unless specified otherwise by -C.
23
24 notifysocket option is used to specify the Unix domain socket to listen
25 on for notifications.

30 default imapd.conf(5).

38 nection before shutting down. Note that a value of 0 (zero)
