Hey, that wasn't so bad. I was expecting some monster that would take
over my system, like djbdns or daemontools but ucspi-ipc just compiled
and installed in /usr/local, and ipcconnect acts just like socket or
telnet over TCP/IP. Cool.

Anyway, having seen LMTP, I'm thinking of using Exim to deliver to Cyrus
directly and cutting cyrdeliver out, as all it does is speak to the
lmtpd daemon. I think "command = ipcconnect /var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp"
will do, as Exim doesn't take a pathname, just a command to run it's
LMTP session.
