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.
