1.6 +By employing local SMTP, the burden of routing messages to suitable storage
1.7 +becomes a configuration problem within the mail system itself. Here, imip-agent
1.8 +connects to the mail transport agent (MTA) and sends a message to an
1.9 +explicitly-indicated local user such as, for example:
1.10 +
1.11 +{{{
1.12 +local+vincent.vole@example.com
1.13 +}}}
1.14 +
1.15 +The message is then routed to a mail delivery mechanism, perhaps by converting
1.16 +the local address to a local user identity:
1.17 +
1.18 +{{{
1.19 +vole
1.20 +}}}
1.21 +
1.22 +The local delivery mechanism would then deposit the message in the user's mailbox.
1.23 +
1.24 +Where the mail system must instead route messages to mailbox providers
1.25 +employing LMTP, some more effort is required. For Exim, some sample
1.26 +configuration files are provided in `conf/exim/lmtp` to route messages for local
1.27 +users to LMTP endpoints.
