+The LMTP protocol, which is very similar to ESMTP, is heavily based
+on the standard SMTP client. It's common to use Unix sockets for LMTP,
+so our connect() method must support that as well as a regular
+host:port server. To specify a Unix socket, you must use an absolute
+path for \var{host}, starting with a '/'.

+Authentication is supported, using the regular SMTP mechanism. When
+using a Unix socket, LMTP generally don't support or require any
+authentication, but your mileage might vary.
