Here's an example of a mailer definition that does LMTP over TCP:

Mlocal,         P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqSmXzwWA5@/:|, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, E=\r\n,
                T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                A=TCP [cyrus-server-host.domain] lmtp

I wrote my own m4 feature to generate this definition.
