[Dovecot] Using Dovecot LDA with Sendmail

[Scott Peron]

Hi all,

After looking at the LDA/Sendmail page in the dovecot wiki, I wanted 
to contribute another method to easily configure Sendmail to use 
deliver.  Instead of adding a new mailer definition, as already 
suggested, one can simply use the following line in their sendmail.mc 
file instead:

   FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver', `deliver 
-d $u', `SPhnu9')dnl

And further on, still use:

   MAILER(procmail)dnl

The location of deliver will of course vary for each OS and distro, 
etc, but this redefines the "procmail" mailer in the resulting 
sendmail.cf to use deliver instead, with the correct flags.  For most 
setups, I believe this is the simplest configuration path.
