Hi,
Is there any way to make communication in a secure way using lmtp? I would like to have postfix and cyrus on separate machines.
Do you really want to encrypt *all* of the traffic or just the authentication information? Your email is most likely getting to Postfix in plaintext anyways.
lmtpd will support non-plaintext authentication methods (and should support TLS+PLAIN)
Encrypting only the autenthication is the best (CPU utilization) and is enough for me. Do you know any Howto or FAQ where I can find something how to configure postfix and cyrus with non-plaintext authentication (the delivery between postfix and cyrus only of course).
Cyrus does it out of the box, provided SASL is configured correctly. As far as Postfix, that is a question which I don't have an answer to. You should take that to the Postfix forum(s).
