How would the lmtp transport be deprecatable by letting the smtp transport
deliver to a socket?
They're used for different protocols. LMTP gives per-recipient responses
post-DATA. LMTP is spoken by other applications. Eg, I use LMTP to deliver to
Cyrus.
That's not to say that there might not be use-cases for SMTP to Unix sockets,
but since LMTP gives better feedback, it tends to be used for local delivery
where the recipient is not expected to provide a spool.
