`local_hostname` is used as the FQDN of the local host in the

the local hostname is found using socket.getfqdn(). The

on the standard SMTP client. It's common to use Unix sockets for LMTP,
so our connect() method must support that as well as a regular
host:port server. To specify a Unix socket, you must use an absolute
host:port server. local_hostname and source_address have the same
meaning as they do in the SMTP class.
To specify a Unix socket, you must use an absolute
path as the host, starting with a '/'.
Authentication is supported, using the regular SMTP mechanism. When
