Hello.
I tried to use /usr/libexec/mail.local as a LMTP capable local
mailer in sendmail.mc:
FEATURE(`local_lmtp', `/usr/libexec/mail.local')
but found that LMTP was not supported - fragment from syslog:
"mail.local: usage: mail.local [-lL] [-f from] user ..."
Tell me, please, are there any reasons not to use mail.local
from /usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin/sendmail? Or maybe there is another
LMTP capable local mailer in OpenBSD...
PS. If LMTP is not supported by a local mailer then in some
cases the same message can be delivered to some recipients
several times. It's possible to turn off delivery to
multiple recipients for a local mailer:
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-m')
but this significantly increases CPU usage when delivering
the message to each recipient individually ("Sendmail
Performance Tuning" by Nick Christenson).
