lmtp read error

[Scott M. Likens]

If you are getting connection refused trying to connect to the socket, then
you have the line commented out in the configuration file for the binding of
the lmtp socket.

I've used lmtp over socket for quite some time and found it to be the best
method to date.

Indeed. That's my setup exactly.  However, I just run lmtpd -a, bound to a
private network where only the LMTP servers and the SMTP servers are
connected to.  Thus, no authorization worries, and no SASL overhead.

It is MUCH faster to use Unix sockets in most OSes, for one thing...
