paul@955 | 3 | When imip-agent is configured to use LMTP, it connects directly to mail |
paul@955 | 4 | storage solutions. By using LMTP from the agent software, the issue of |
paul@955 | 5 | configuring the mail system to integrate with such solutions is avoided, but |
paul@955 | 6 | then those solutions must expose their LMTP interface appropriately. |

paul@955 | 8 | Although this topic is largely beyond the scope of this document, systems such |
paul@955 | 9 | as Cyrus and Dovecot can be configured to provide a Unix domain socket |
paul@955 | 10 | offering support for LMTP connections. |

paul@955 | 12 | For Cyrus, the following bug report is pertinent: |

paul@955 | 16 | A permanent change in permissions on the Cyrus LMTP socket is therefore |
paul@955 | 17 | required to make delivery available to the `lmtp` group: |
