Main features of the dovecot-lda are:
4 * Mailbox indexing during mail delivery, providing faster mailbox access later
* Quota enforcing by the quota plugin
*
Sieve language support by the Pigeonhole sieve plugin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-a address Destination address (e.g. user+ext@domain). Default is the same as
username . -------------------------------------
-c config_file Alternative configuration file path.
-------------------------------------
-d username Destination
username . If given, the user information is looked up from userdb.
Typically used with virtual users, but not necessarily with system users.
-------------------------------------
-e If mail gets rejected, write the rejection reason to stderr and exit with
status 77 (EX_NOPERM).
The default is to send a rejection mail ourself.
-------------------------------------
-f envelope_sender Envelope sender address.
-------------------------------------
-k Don\(aqt clear all environment at startup.
-------------------------------------
-m mailbox Destination mailbox (default is
INBOX ). If the mailbox doesn\(aqt exist, it will not be created (unless the
lda_mailbox_autocreate setting is set to
yes ). If a message couldn\(aqt be saved to the
mailbox for any reason, it\(aqs delivered to
INBOX instead.
---------------------------------
-o setting = value Overrides the configuration
setting from
@pkgsysconfdir@/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given
value . In order to override multiple settings, the
-o option may be specified multiple times.
-------------------------------------
-p path Path to the mail to be delivered instead of reading from stdin.
If using maildir the file is hard linked to the destination if possible.
This allows a single mail to be delivered to multiple users using hard
links, but currently it also prevents deliver from updating cache file so
it shouldn\(aqt be used unless really necessary.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 0 Delivery was successful. (EX_OK)
64 Invalid parameter given. (EX_USAGE)
77 -e option was used and mail was rejected. Typically this happens when user is over quota and quota_full_tempfail = no is configured. (EX_NOPERM)
75 A temporary failure. This is returned for almost all failures. See the log
file for details. (EX_TEMPFAIL)
