Many email Message Transfer Agent (MTA) supports LMTP delivery.
Some of them are covered here.
SMTP servers that are recommended for Aerogramme are the ones that support:
- TCP delivery over the LMTP protocol
- TCP authentication over the [Dovecot SASL Auth protocol](https://doc.dovecot.org/developer_manual/design/auth_protocol/)
Postfix supports these 2 features and is the only recommended choice *for now*.
## Postfix
Configuring Postfix requires to add these 2 lines to `main.cf`:
Configuring [Postfix](https://www.postfix.org/) requires to add these 4 lines to `main.cf`:

smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot

virtual_mailbox_domains = your-domain.tld
virtual_transport = lmtp:[::1]:1025
```

Aerogramme implements Dovecot SASL protocol. By configuring Postfix
with it,
Make sure that `your-domain.tld` is not already configured in the `mydomain` variable,
or it might conflict with Postfix local delivery logic.

You can learn more about Postfix LMTP capabilities on this page: [lmtp(8)](https://www.postfix.org/lmtp.8.html).
## Maddy
[Maddy](https://maddy.email/) is a more recent email server written in Go.
However it does not support LMTP delivery over TCP, only over UNIX socket: without a specific adapter, it's not yet compatible with Aerogramme.
For LMTP delivery, read [SMTP & LMTP transparent forwarding](https://maddy.email/reference/targets/smtp/#smtp-lmtp-transparent-forwarding).
For the Dovecot Auth Protocol, read [Dovecot SASL](https://maddy.email/reference/auth/dovecot_sasl/).

The syntax is described in their manpage [smtpd.conf(5)](https://man.openbsd.org/smtpd.conf#lmtp).
opensmtpd does not support Dovecot's SASL protocol, you can signal your interest [in their dedicated issue](https://github.com/OpenSMTPD/OpenSMTPD/issues/1085).
## Chasquid
[chasquid](https://blitiri.com.ar/p/chasquid/) supports [LMTP delivery](https://blitiri.com.ar/p/chasquid/howto/#configure-chasquid)
and the [Dovecot Auth Protocol](https://blitiri.com.ar/p/chasquid/docs/dovecot/) but only over UNIX sockets. Thus, it's not yet compatible with Aerogramme.
## Other servers
[Maddy](https://maddy.email/) might be configured to deliver LMTP messages to Aerogramme through its [SMTP & LMTP transparent forwarding](https://maddy.email/reference/targets/smtp/#smtp-lmtp-transparent-forwarding) feature.
[Exim](https://www.exim.org/) has some support [for LMTP](https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_lmtp_transport.html) too.
[sendmail](https://www.proofpoint.com/us/products/email-protection/open-source-email-solution) might deliver to LMTP through a dedicated binary named [smtpc](https://www.sympa.community/manual/customize/lmtp-delivery.html)
