DESCRIPTION
The doveadm penalty command can be used to see the current penalties.
GLOBAL OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1)

Enables verbosity and debug messages.

age_version setting defaults to the latest version, but can be
overridden with

ment setting.

-i instance-name
If using multiple Dovecot instances, choose the config file based
on this instance name.
See instance_name setting for more information.
-c config-file

reads config socket, and then falls back to /etc/dovecot/dove-
cot.conf. You can also point this to config socket of some instance
running compatible version.
-o setting=value
Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
and from the userdb with the given value. In order to override mul-
tiple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times.
OPTIONS
-a anvil_socket_path
This option is used to specify an alternative socket. The option's
argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain socket,
or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order to connect a
remote host via a TCP socket.
By default doveadm(1) will use the socket
ARGUMENTS

in CIDR notation (ip/mask).
