DESCRIPTION
       Lmtpd is an LMTP server used to deliver mail to the IMAP mailstore.  It accepts commands on its stan-dard standard
       dard input and responds on its standard output.  It MUST be invoked by master(8) with those  descrip-tors descriptors

              The  number  of  seconds that the process will wait for a new connection before shutting down.
