# SYNOPSIS

# DESCRIPTION

mda-lmtp is a very basic MDA that uses LMTP to do the mail delivery.

It takes command line arguments similar to maildrop or procmail, reads an
email via standard input, and sends it over the given LMTP server.  Supports
connecting to LMTP servers over UNIX sockets and TCP.

It can be used when your mail server does not support LMTP directly.
