NOTIFYD(8)
NAME
  notifyd - Cyrus notification server

SYNOPSIS
  notifyd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ]
	  [ -D ]

DESCRIPTION
  Notifyd is a daemon started from master(8) that handles notification
  requests on behalf of lmtpd(8).  Notifyd accepts the request and performs
  the notification using the method specified in the request.

  Note that for notifyd to run properly you must set proto=udp in its
  cyrus.conf services entry.  prefork=1 is also recommended.

  Notifyd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
  unless specified otherwise by -C.  The notifysocket option is used to
  specify the Unix domain socket to listen on for notifications.

OPTIONS
  -C config-file
       Read configuration options from config-file.

  -U uses
       The maximum number of times that the process should be used for new
       connections before shutting down.  The default is 250.

  -T timeout
       The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new connection
       before shutting down.  Note that a value of 0 (zero) will disable the
       timeout.	 The default is 60.

  -D   Run external debugger specified in debug_command.

NOTIFICATION METHODS
  null Ignore the notification request.

  log  Log the notification to syslog (for testing).

  mailto
       Email the notification.	This method can ONLY be used in a Sieve
       'notify' action as it requires a mailto: URL to be specified as an
       :option.

  zephyr
       Send the notification as a zephyrgram.  If used in a Sieve 'notify'
       action, additional recipients can be specified as :options.
