Hi, I'm running the Debian package of exim 4.80 with Dovecot 2.1.7. Local deliveries are by Dovecot's LMTP server, which is working fine, except that they're not batching - each recipient is delivered individually.
My exim transport configuration is: lmtp: driver = lmtp socket = /var/run/dovecot/lmtp batch_max = 20 # delivery_date_add # envelope_to_add When delivering the same message to two local users, exim logs this: 2012-10-16 12:02:10 1TO4uO-0002n5-6W <= [email protected] U=root P=local S=315 2012-10-16 12:02:10 1TO4uO-0002n5-6W => roger <[email protected]> R=local_user T=lmtp S=326 2012-10-16 12:02:10 1TO4uO-0002n5-6W => test <[email protected]> R=local_user T=lmtp S=326 And Dovecot LMTP logs this: Oct 16 12:02:10 alphonse dovecot: lmtp(10737): Connect from local Oct 16 12:02:10 alphonse dovecot: lmtp(10737, roger): iXrCFrI+fVDxKQAAAFrtIw: sieve: msgid=<[email protected]>: stored mail into mailbox 'Server' Oct 16 12:02:10 alphonse dovecot: lmtp(10737): Disconnect from local: Client quit (in reset) Oct 16 12:02:10 alphonse dovecot: lmtp(10737): Connect from local Oct 16 12:02:10 alphonse dovecot: lmtp(10737, test): jXrCFrI+fVDxKQAAAFrtIw: sieve: msgid=<[email protected]>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Oct 16 12:02:10 alphonse dovecot: lmtp(10737): Disconnect from local: Client quit (in reset) Why is exim delivering individually, instead of batching? If I telnet to LMTP and deliver by hand, LMTP handles multiple addresses fine.
