[Dovecot] Connecting to dovecot

[Grant Lowe]

As far as ls -la:

# ls -la /var/mail/wfoatst
-rw-------   1 wfoatst  users       1406 Sep 16 15:13 /var/mail/wfoatst
#

As far as the LDA, I'm using the dovecot LDA.  Here's the line from /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

######################*****##############
###   DOVECOT Mailer specification                              ###
##################*****##################

                 T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                 A=deliver -d $u

How about a "ls -la /var/mail/wfoatst"

What do you use for your LDA?
