paul@973 | 3 | When imip-agent is configured to use LMTP, it connects directly to |
paul@973 | 4 | [[../../MailboxIntegration|mail storage solutions]]. By using LMTP from the |
paul@973 | 5 | agent software, the issue of configuring the mail system to integrate with |
paul@973 | 6 | such solutions is avoided, but then those solutions must expose their LMTP |
paul@973 | 7 | interface appropriately. |

paul@973 | 9 | Although this topic is largely beyond the scope of this documentation, |
paul@973 | 10 | systems such as Cyrus and Dovecot can be configured to provide a Unix domain |
paul@973 | 11 | socket offering support for LMTP connections. |
paul@955 | 12 | |
paul@955 | 13 | For Cyrus, the following bug report is pertinent: |

paul@973 | 17 | A permanent change in permissions on the Cyrus LMTP socket may be required to |
paul@973 | 18 | make delivery available to the `lmtp` group: |
