Hi,

Previously we were running postfix 2.1.5 (Debian Sarge) and now have upgraded to 2.3.8 (Etch).

We have several lmtp transports in master.cf:

mail1     unix  -       -       n       -       -       lmtp
mail2     unix  -       -       n       -       -       lmtp
mail3     unix  -       -       n       -       -       lmtp

We used an ldap directory to route to the correct backend:
umTransport: mail1:mail1.ugent.be

In postfix 2.1.5 the destination port of our lmtp connections was *by default* 2003.

No, the built-in default LMTP TCP port was 24. However the precedence
has changed. With 2.1.5, Postfix would use lmtp_tcp_port only if
/etc/services had no entry for LMTP.

Ok, that clarifies it.

 Because we had the following entry  in /etc/services:
lmtp      2003/tcp

When I did the upgrade to 2.3.8 I noticed that was not the case anymore. It connected to an other port (I can't remember what anymore).

The built-in default LMTP TCP port is still 24. However the precedence
has changed. The lmtp_tcp_port parameter now overrides /etc/services.
If you want to use /etc/services, you now need to specify:

    lmtp_tcp_port = lmtp

I tried changing lmtp_tcp_port to 2003 but that didn't help.

You mis-typed something.

You are probably right.  It checked it again and that works.

I think the best way out is to drop support for lmtp_tcp_port,
for consistency with SMTP.

Thank you for your help.
