 LMTP_AUTH connections via access
 
 # client AUTH
 AuthInfo:IP I:testuser P:test

 
 and put testuser to lmtp_admins on cyrus side
 lmtp_admins: testuser
 
 But this is still not secure of course. Would a openvpn or tinc tunnel
 be faster instead of a LMTPs connection?

TLS for lmtp connections between sendmail and cyrus seems to work out of
the box as soon as tls_cert_file, tls_key_file and tls_ca_file are set
on cyrus side and sendmail is configured with starttls and sasl. Nice!

But question is still if a permanent openvpn tunnel to an lmtpd started
with -a is faster than an authentication and starting tls for each
incoming email?

Ciao!

secure lmtp connection between sendmail and cyrus
