Subject: [Exim] Re: exim - cyrus deliver
I have an LMTP setup that uses TCP/IP and works fine. We are using
exim-3.20 and cyrus-2.0.11. Details as follows:

In configure:

# TRANSPORTS

localuser_transport:
        driver = smtp
        protocol = lmtp
        batch_max = 20
        return_path_add
        delivery_date_add
        hosts = 127.0.0.1
        allow_localhost
        authenticate_hosts = localhost


# DIRECTORS

userdelivery_director:
        driver = aliasfile
        file = EXIMDIR/etc/mailboxes
        search_type = lsearch
        transport = localuser_transport


It's not the most efficient way for us, as we are actually delivering to
the local machine using LMTP over TCP/IP - we should really change to
using a socket ourselves. However, we're not a high volume site though,
and it does seem to work nicely.

Hope that helps,

Regards, Ben.
