Excuse my poor understanding of LMTP but what I don't understand is if some
sort of LDA is supposed to be at the other side of an LMTP connexion.

For instance, 

  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2033

states 

  "Therefore, if the queue manager is configured to use LMTP instead of SMTP
   when transferring messages to the delivery agents"

which I might interpret as "an SMTP server connects via LMTP to an LDA". Or is
the LMTP server able to directly put the message in the final mailbox ?
