# LMTP is required for delivery
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=1
lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0
Can someone explain to me the difference of lmtp vs. lmtpunix?
I run cyrus and deliver to sendmail and currently simply use:
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0
..My setup is working fine, but I was wondering what the differences were
and if there was ANY advantage to using 'prefork=1' on lmtp?
In another note, I did set pop3 like this:
pop3 cmd="pop3d -C /etc/popd.conf" listen="pop3" prefork=1
..but I noticed that while pop3 is indeed preforked, whenever a single
person checks their email via pop3, another instance is spawned! - So what
the heck is the advantage of having a preforked pop3 ?!
Thanx in advance!
