notifyd - Cyrus IMAP documentation
Cyrus notification server
notifyd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ]
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(5) services entry.
prefork=1 is also recommended.
notifyd reads its configuration options out of the
imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
notifysocket option is used to specify the Unix domain
socket to listen on for notifications.
- -C config-file
- Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
default imapd.conf(5).
- -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.
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.
external
Send the notification via an external program. The path
to the program is specified using the notify_external option in the
configuration file.
