+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B dovecot\-lda
+is a local mail delivery agent which takes mail from an MTA and delivers
+it to a user\(aqs mailbox, while keeping Dovecot index files up to date.
+.PP
+Main features of the
+.B dovecot\-lda
+are:
+.TP 4
+*
+Mailbox indexing during mail delivery, providing faster mailbox access
+later
+.TP
+*
+Quota enforcing by the quota plugin
+.TP
+*
+Sieve language support by the Pigeonhole sieve plugin
+.\"------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH OPTIONS
+Options accepted by
+.BR dovecot\-lda :
+.\"-------------------------------------
+.TP
+.BI \-a\  address
+Destination address (e.g. user+ext@domain). Default is the same as
+.IR username .
+.\"-------------------------------------
+.TP
+.BI \-c\  config_file
+Alternative configuration file path.
+.\"-------------------------------------
+.TP
+.BI \-d\  username
+Destination
+.IR username .
+If given, the user information is looked up from userdb.
+Typically used with virtual users, but not necessarily with system users.
+.\"-------------------------------------
+.TP
+.B \-e
+If mail gets rejected, write the rejection reason to stderr and exit with
+status 77 (EX_NOPERM).
+The default is to send a rejection mail ourself.
+.\"-------------------------------------
+.TP
+.BI \-f\  envelope_sender
+Envelope sender address.
+.\"-------------------------------------
+.TP
+.B \-k
+Don\(aqt clear all environment at startup.
+.\"-------------------------------------
+.TP
+.BI \-m\  mailbox
+Destination mailbox (default is
+.BR INBOX ).
+If the mailbox doesn\(aqt exist, it will not be created (unless the
+.I lda_mailbox_autocreate
+setting is set to
+.BR yes ).
+If a message couldn\(aqt be saved to the
+.I mailbox
+for any reason, it\(aqs delivered to
+.B INBOX
+instead.
+.\"---------------------------------
+.TP
+.BI \-o\  setting = value
+Overrides the configuration
+.I setting
+from
+.I @pkgsysconfdir@/dovecot.conf
+and from the userdb with the given
+.IR value .
+In order to override multiple settings, the
+.B \-o
+option may be specified multiple times.
+.\"-------------------------------------
+.TP
+.BI \-p\  path
+Path to the mail to be delivered instead of reading from stdin.
+If using maildir the file is hard linked to the destination if possible.
+This allows a single mail to be delivered to multiple users using hard
+links, but currently it also prevents deliver from updating cache file so
+it shouldn\(aqt be used unless really necessary.
+.\"------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+.B dovecot\-lda
+will exit with one of the following values:
+.TP 4
+.B 0
+Delivery was successful. (EX_OK)
+.TP
+.B 64
+Invalid parameter given. (EX_USAGE)
+.TP
+.B 77
+.B \-e
+option was used and mail was rejected.
+Typically this happens when user is over quota and
+.B quota_full_tempfail = no
+is configured. (EX_NOPERM)
+.TP
+.B 75
+A temporary failure. This is returned for almost all failures. See the log
+file for details. (EX_TEMPFAIL)
