Hi Folks,
I was mentioning to a friend how Cyrus now recieves messages over LMTP. Not
being familiar with the protocol (nor I), he skimmed over the LMTP RFC. From
this brief read, he came to the conclusion that LMTP was more or less
redundant, considering its close similarity to SMTP.
I couldn't give a definitive answer to him as to why LMTP is used apart
from saying that LMTP is more a "local" protocol, then a "across the Internet
protocol" (SMTP). So my question is, what are the main reasons/benefits of
using LMTP for delivering a message to Cyrus?
I don't have time to read the full RFC, so please don't respond with RTFM ;)
Just the main points would be nice. TIA
Regards,
