P.S.: I'm pretty sure that whatever you've got configured on TCP/24,
it ain't LMTP.  It appears to basically be a fairly typical Sendmail
SMTP MTA, except modified with:

C 	don't perform hostname canonification
E 	disallow ETRN (see RFC 2476)

  Nobody uses ETRN anyway, so that's nothing.  Not performing hostname
canonification is a little weird.  Maybe it's a performance hack, on
the assumption that your list server software has already done so, so
no need to do it again?
