Because these events also apply for more than just LMTP. You could be storing bunch of mails with IMAP APPEND.

The LUA code very faitfully implements the C API for push notifications in Dovecot.

There is no really good way to do this. You can error out in begin_txn, but that will emit error.

The only doable way, right now, is to maybe add key {disabled=True} to your context, and then add 

if ctx.disabled:
  return 

elsewhere.

This is what happens when you read unseen mail.
