.SH DESCRIPTION
.I lmtptest
is a utility that allows you to authenticate to a LMTP server
and interactively issue commands to it. Once authenticated you may
issue any LMTP command by simply typing it in. It is capable
of multiple SASL authentication mechanisms and handles encryption
layers transparently. This utility is often used for testing the
operation of a lmtp server. Also those developing LMTP clients
find it useful.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-t " keyfile"
Enable TLS.  \fIkeyfile\fR contains the TLS public and private keys.
Specify \fB""\fR to negotiate a TLS encryption layer but not use TLS
authentication.
.TP
.BI \-p " port"
Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to \fBlmtp\fR as defined
in /etc/services.
.TP
.BI -m " mechanism"
Force lmtptest to use \fImechanism\fR for authentication. If not specified
the strongest authentication mechanism supported by the server is
chosen.
.TP
.BI -a " userid"
Userid to use for authentication; defaults to the current user.
This is the userid whose password or credentials will be presented to
the server for verification.
.TP
.BI -u " userid"
Userid to use for authorization; defaults to the current user.
This is the userid whose identity will be assumed after authentication.
\fBNOTE:\fR This is only used with SASL mechanisms that allow proxying
(e.g. PLAIN, DIGEST-MD5).
.TP
.BI -k " num"
Minimum protection layer required.
.TP
.BI -l " num"
Maximum protection layer to use (\fB0\fR=none; \fB1=\fRintegrity;
etc).  For example if you are using the KERBEROS_V4 authentication
mechanism specifying \fB0\fR will force lmtptest to not use any layer
and specifying \fB1\fR will force it to use the integrity layer.  By
default the maximum supported protection layer will be used.
.TP
.BI -r " realm"
Specify the \fIrealm\fR to use. Certain authentication mechanisms
(e.g. DIGEST-MD5) may require one to specify the realm.
.TP
.BI -f " file"
Pipe \fIfile\fR into connection after authentication.
.TP
.BI -n " num"
Number of authentication attempts; default = 1.  The client will
attempt to do SSL/TLS session reuse and/or fast reauth
(e.g. DIGEST-MD5), if possible.
.TP
.B -c
Enable challenge prompt callbacks.  This will cause the OTP mechanism
to ask for the the one-time password instead of the secret pass-phrase
(library generates the correct response).
.TP
.B -i
Don't send an initial client response for SASL mechanisms, even if the
protocol supports it.
.TP
\fB-o \fIoption\fB=\fIvalue\fR
Set the SASL \fIoption\fR to \fIvalue\fR.
.TP
.B -v
Verbose. Print out more information than usual.
