Delivering locally through the Submission Server

[lists]

It would be worth a $5 VPS investment to set up a proper email server with dovecot and postfix. Observe how they work together. Use maximum verbosity and read the logs. You can use one of those cheap TLDs nobody but the spammers use. They cost a dollar or so. Namecheap is peddling cyou.

OK, so I gather that the Submission Server cannot do that (yet).

My suggestion for a future version would then be: How about running dovecot-lda, if the user happens to be local, or a local alias? Or at least
provide some sort of pattern matching: anything matching *@example.com , pass the message to dovecot-lda .

It feels strange that a plug-in accessing the local user database for authentication purposes, and running on the same Dovecot server instance, needs
to use an MTA to deliver a local message, it is like going out to come back in again. But I do not know much about mail servers yet. Have I missed
some important concept here that makes this idea silly indeed?
