I set up my Cyrus system a long time ago to use LMTP, where the MTA and Cyrus live on the same machine.

I'm faced with a situation where I would like to have a central MTA on a private LAN service email, however it lacks the disk space to accomodate the inbound (anticipated) messaging. Therefore, I would like to place Cyrus on a server that has disk space.

I'm reading through RFC 2033, and while I get lost in the details, my query is about whether I can do LMTP from an MTA on the same LAN to another system where Cyrus-Imapd lives (the RFC recommends NOT to do this over a WAN, for understandable reasons). Or even if this is advisable... where I should them build a separate MTA on the Cyrus machine and service mail there (that machine is a NAS and also storing a lot of syslog data on a large RAID-5 array, I'd rather not put the primary MTA on it, too).

Pointers would be appreciated... thanks in advance.
