#### 3.13.1 Using `lmtpd` with MeTA1. ¶

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

The socket to listen for LMTP requests must be specified using the `server` statement (see Server Settings). For the purposes of this section, let’s suppose `lmtpd` will listen on a UNIX socket `/var/spool/meta1/lmtpsock`. Then, the following (minimal) `lmtpd` configuration will do the job:

    # 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";
