1.6 +When imip-agent is configured to use LMTP, it connects directly to mail
1.7 +storage solutions. By using LMTP from the agent software, the issue of
1.8 +configuring the mail system to integrate with such solutions is avoided, but
1.9 +then those solutions must expose their LMTP interface appropriately.
1.10 +
1.11 +Although this topic is largely beyond the scope of this document, systems such
1.12 +as Cyrus and Dovecot can be configured to provide a Unix domain socket
1.13 +offering support for LMTP connections.
1.14 +
1.15 +For Cyrus, the following bug report is pertinent:
1.16 +
1.17 + * https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494746
1.18 +
1.19 +A permanent change in permissions on the Cyrus LMTP socket is therefore
1.20 +required to make delivery available to the `lmtp` group:
1.21 +
1.22 +{{{
1.23 +dpkg-statoverride --force --update --add cyrus lmtp 750 /var/run/cyrus/socket
1.24 +}}}

1.26 +See the [[../../SystemUsers|system users]] documentation for a discussion of
1.27 +users and groups.
