Hi There.

Hoping there are some Postfix gurus out there.

I am running up a test machine as I am thinking of moving from Sendmail
Just finished installing Postfix with mysql, Cyrus-imapd, Cyrus SSL. 

Below is an extract from /var/log/maillog.log
- (foo = Host - bar.com = domain name)

I been searching thru the web and haven't been able yet to find much
info on lmtp except that it seems to be a replacement for smtp.

Can anyone help me out here on what postfix is trying to do, what I
haven't configured correctly to get Postfix to use lmtp or canPostfix be
set up not to use lmtp just smtp?

Many thanks
Andy
