    Okay - my understanding was that LMTP was a very restricted subset of
    SMTP: so can postfix's LMTP agent talk to another postfix smtpd
    instance?

    This sounds mad (why not just use SMTP) - the LMTP backend has
    connection caching, and, probably applies less load to the machine
    (less DNS lookups).
