[Dovecot] Dovecot sieve with postfix.

[/#!/JoePea]

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm new to all this. How can I tell if postfix is
deferring messages, or if it thinks they've been delieverd? Where is the
postfix log?

How do I feed a message to dovecot-lda manually, as mailman?

How do I use LMTP instead of LDA?
