DESCRIPTION
Lmtpd is an LMTP server used to deliver mail(1,8) to the IMAP mailstore. It
accepts commands on its standard input and responds on its standard
output. It MUST be invoked by master(5,8)(8) with those descriptors
attached to a remote client connection.
Lmtpd reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file(1,n)
unless specified otherwise by -C.

-T timeout(1,3x,3x cbreak)
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.
