3.11.3 Using maidag with MeTA1.

MeTA1 (http://meta1.org) communicates with the delivery agent using LMTP.

LMTP mode is enabled in maidag by the ‘delivery-mode lmtp’ statement. The socket to listen on must be specified using server statement (see Server Settings). For the purposes of this section, let’s suppose maidag will listen on a UNIX socket /var/spool/meta1/lmtpsock. Then, the following (minimal) maidag configuration will do the job:

# Start in LMTP mode.
delivery-mode lmtp;
# Run as daemon.
mode daemon;
# Switch to this group after startup.
group meta1c;
# Configure server:
server unix:///var/spool/meta1/lmtpsock {
  transcript no;
};

To configure MeTA1 to use this socket, add the following statement to the ‘smtpc’ section in /etc/meta1/meta1.conf:

  LMTP_socket="lmtpsock";
