Notifyd is a daemon started from cyrus-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.
