NAME
       imapd - IMAP server process

SYNOPSIS
       imapd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ]
	     [ -s ] [ -p ssf ]

DESCRIPTION
       Imapd  is  an  IMAP4rev1	 server.   It accepts commands on its standard
       input and responds on its standard output.  It MUST be invoked by  mas‐
       ter(8) with those descriptors attached to a remote client connection.

       Imapd  reads  its  configuration	 options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
       unless specified otherwise by -C.

       If the file msg/shutdown is created under the  directory	 specified  in
       the configdirectory configuration option, then imapd will shut down the
       connection, sending the first line contained in the file to the	client
       as the reason.  New connections are denied.

       If  the	file  msg/motd is created under the directory specified in the
       configdirectory configuration option, then imapd will  send  the	 first
       line  contained in the file to clients upon connect as an ALERT message
       which IMAP-compliant clients are	 required  to  display.	  This	option
       serves  to  annoy  users mostly.	 Unfortunately clients tend to connect
       far more frequently than is apparent, causing each connection to gener‐
       ate  a  seperate server ALERT for each connection.  Many clients do not
       display these properly, if they do anything with them at all.

       If the directory log/user exists under the directory specified  in  the
       configdirectory	configuration  option, then imapd will create protocol
       telemetry logs for sessions authenticating as user.  The telemetry logs
       will  be	 stored in the log/user directory with a filename of the imapd
       process-id.

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 con‐
	      nection 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.

       -s     Serve  IMAP  over	 SSL  (imaps).	 All data to and from imapd is
	      encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer.

       -p ssf Tell imapd that an external  layer  exists.   An	SSF  (security
	      strength	factor)	 of  1	means  an  integrity  protection layer
	      exists.  Any higher SSF implies some form of privacy protection.
