thanks for the config. So you are tricking lmtp to querry the local
mupdate over tcp. This should work in our case, but I'm looking for
an other solution, because this would still add an overhead (tcp  
connection, ssl encryption), which is not needed IMHO.

By thew way, the reason I was so surprised in the first place was, that
I have been fooled by the documentation:
Quoting https://cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.4.17/install-murder.php

So frontend imapd and pop3d will ask the frontend mailboxdb.
I'm not sure  about timsieved.
But IHMO there is no need that lmtpd/lmtpproxyd will ask the
mupdate_master only in in standard murder.

I will try to patch lmtpd to use the local mailboxdb and will send a
patch after i have tested it.
