Dear Barry,

there is at least one interested in.
Last days of November, I was searching some hints for an LMTP server,
able to deliver like dovecot lda:

As you can see, I've to setup a similar environment; in particular, the
need of an lmtp server comes from hundreds of mailing-lists.
Now I'm working only on a small lmtp server in C [not using inetd or
similar like the one from pll] and calling deliver for each good mail,
but it would be very interesting for my work trying also something
different, and better.
