.TH "DOVEADM-EXEC" "1" "May 2026" "e5ac02a" "Dovecot" .SH "NAME" \fBdoveadm-exec\fR - Easily execute commands from Dovecot's libexec directory. .SH "SYNOPSIS" .P \fBdoveadm\fR \[lB]\fIGLOBAL OPTIONS\fR\[rB] \fBexec\fR \fIbinary\fR \[lB]\fIbinary arguments\fR\[rB] .SH "DESCRIPTION" .P This command allows administrators and local users to simply execute commands from within \fI/usr/libexec/dovecot\fR. So for example a logged in system user could start a pre-authenticated imap session, using the command: \fBdoveadm exec imap\fR. An administrator would use the command \fBdoveadm exec imap -u\fR \fIusername\fR. .SH "GLOBAL OPTIONS" .P Global doveadm(1) \fIoptions\fR: .P \fB-D\fR .RS 0 .RS 4 .P Enables \fIverbosity\fR and debug messages. .RE 0 .RE 0 .P \fB-O\fR .RS 0 .RS 4 .P Do not read any config file, just use defaults. The \fBdovecot_storage_version\fR setting defaults to the latest version, but can be overridden with \fB-o\fR. .RE 0 .RE 0 .P \fB-k\fR .RS 0 .RS 4 .P Preserve entire environment for doveadm, not just \fBimport_environment\fR setting. .RE 0 .RE 0 .P \fB-v\fR .RS 0 .RS 4 .P Enables verbosity, including progress counter. .RE 0 .RE 0 .P \fB-i\fR \fIinstance-name\fR .RS 0 .RS 4 .P If using multiple Dovecot instances, choose the config file based on this instance name. .P See \fBinstance_name\fR setting for more information. .RE 0 .RE 0 .P \fB-c\fR \fIconfig-file\fR .RS 0 .RS 4 .P Read configuration from the given \fIconfig-file\fR. By default it first reads config socket, and then falls back to \fI/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf\fR. You can also point this to config socket of some instance running compatible version. .RE 0 .RE 0 .P \fB-o\fR \fIsetting\fR\fB=\fR\fIvalue\fR .RS 0 .RS 4 .P Overrides the configuration \fIsetting\fR from \fI/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf\fR and from the userdb with the given \fIvalue\fR. In order to override multiple settings, the \fB-o\fR option may be specified multiple times. .RE 0 .RE 0 .SH "ARGUMENTS" .P \fIbinary\fR .RS 0 .RS 4 .P the name of an executable located in \fI/usr/libexec/dovecot\fR. .RE 0 .RE 0 .P \fIbinary arguments\fR .RS 0 .RS 4 .P options and arguments, which will be passed through to the \fIbinary\fR. .RE 0 .RE 0 .SH "EXAMPLE" .P This example demonstrates how to deliver a message from a file to a user's mailbox. .P .RS 2 .nf doveadm exec dovecot-lda -d user@example.net -f admin@example.net < ~/stuff/welcome.msg .fi .RE .SH "REPORTING BUGS" .P Report bugs, including \fIdoveconf -n\fR output, to the Dovecot Mailing List \fI\(ladovecot@dovecot.org\(ra\fR.
