I've almost finished writing this primitive LMTP server.
Here is a result of experiment of posting 100 messages to a list and
measuring arriving/leaving times on my laptop coLinux (Debian) with
Postfix-2.1.5/Python2.4. Time recording is based on the message header
and mail.log, so it is a very rough experiment.
MTA:In MTA:Out MM:Out sec
program:
first 08:56:49 08:56:51 08:56:53 4
last 08:56:54 08:57:27 08:57:38 44
sec 5 36 49
maildir:
first 08:48:13 08:48:14 08:48:16 3
last 08:48:19 08:48:19 08:48:29 10
sec 6 5 16
lmtp:
first 09:12:26 09:12:26 09:12:27 1
last 09:12:31 09:12:32 09:12:41 10
sec 5 6 15
With the current default method of invoking mailman post program and
pipelineing takes 49 seconds for the last 100th message to reach the
list member (a local user), while maildir and lmtp interface reduce this
time to 15 or 16 seconds. You can also see most of the difference
occured in MTA's In and Out, which means execution of mailman post
program is the most heavy load. Also, maildir and lmtp passing of
message from MTA to mailman is a relatively small task than the
processing the list message like cooking headers and appending footers
and all like those.
Conclusion: Maildir or LMTP will not likely be a bottleneck.
