After much googling, it appears that one can use either exim or dovecot as the LDA - the
trade offs are not clear.
It seems that the amount of mass mails all needing to get indexed at the same time would
make dovecot as the LDA create a higher server peak, -- I think the inbox is only indexed in
the case of exim as the LDA when users check their mail - thus spreading the load. On the
other hand, I don't see where the advantage of using dovecot as the LDA is documented. It
could be important for indexing, caching.
