Does that mean that one, and only one, user may be running deliver manually 
(or from Getmail) to get his mail? This would make it quite impossible for a 
server with multiple real system users to use Getmail and deliver mail via 
Dovecot's LDA, wouldn't it?

Or am I not seeing the obvious solution to this problem?
