using postfix lmtp client instead of cyrdeliver

Hi all,

I read, that some people recommend using "the postfix lmtp client" instead of cyrdeliver.
Unfortunately, I cannot find any information about how to configure this client.
I can enable a network socket for cyrus. But how do I configure the mailbox_transport?

Does anyone know?

Thanks a lot,
Clemente

Well then, at least this one I could solve:

In postfix's main.cf, configure mailbox_transport as:

Code:

lmtp:localhost

And in cyrus' cyrus.conf, edit the SERVICES section this way:

Code:

        lmtp            cmd="lmtpd -a cyrus" listen="localhost:lmtp" prefork=0 maxchild=20
        #lmtpunix       cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp" prefork=0 maxchild=20

For some reason things did not work if both delivery services were enabled. But I didn't have the time to figure out the reason.
