Hmm. This would require lmtpd to speak [E]SMTP. There is client-side
LMTP code in lmtpengine.c which we might be able to use for this
purpose. This would eliminate problems with incompatible command-line
options (IIRC, Postfix doesn't like '-f <>') I would imagine that the
option would be something like 'host[:port]'. This way we could talk to
a MSA (port 587) as well as a MTA.
I can take a look at this possibility for 2.1.1.
