Take any existing ESMTP client:

- If required add support for connecting to unix domain sockets

- Don't do MX record lookups when making TCP connections. Connect to the
"lmtp" port (24 not 25).

- Replace "EHLO" with "LHLO".

- After ".", read a separate "2XX", "4XX" or "5XX" response for each
accepted "RCPT TO" command, instead of a single response for the whole
message. If you only submit mail for one recipient at a time, this is
not different from the SMTP case.

- Use appropriate (likely more generous than SMTP) timeouts.

The rest is the same.
