[Dovecot] Disable maildir indexing and dovecot-uidlist on LMTP/LDA delivery

Hello all,

Is there a way to use LMTP (or LDA) so that maildir index and
dovecot-uidlist are not updated?

My setup is such that mail delivery sees user's maildir as write only. This
setup works well when using postfix for mail delivery, but when I try to
switch to dovecot LMTP the lmtp process wants to read the dovecot-uidlist
and fails on insufficient privileges. Is there a way around this without
exposing the maildir and mail home  for read access?

Regards,
Jouko Nikula
