er.. Exim 3.3x can use LMTP over a pipe (ie "deliver") or TCP/IP.

Exim 4.12 can deliver straight to the lmtpunix socket. Even less overhead
(and less packet filtering to worry about) than either of the options for 
Exim 3.

I don't know about exim 3.35, but I know that exim 3.36 can use LMTP, 
which we use here.

The nicest thing about LMTP is the exim delivers straight, without 
haveing to call cyrus's deliver.  This leads to less overhead, and 
better overall performance...

Also, we switched due to some odd problems with heavy load, and have 
been very happy with it.

Hope this helps,
B

Hi.. you don't say which Exim you're using. I'd recommend at least Exim
4.12, which can use the "lmtp" transport to the unix domain socket Cyrus
lmtpd is listening on.
