My fundamental question about migrating to dovecot. Following the above model, I feel I ought to use only "deliver" (not mixed with "mail.local", nor "procmail" nor anything else) to touch the mailboxes. With dovecot,
Most of my mailboxes are delivered via procmail. The *huge* mailboxes, I use dovecot LDA; as well as a small number of Sieve users are using it. the LDA does caching of headers at delivery time, which is why I use it on huge mailboxes (100,000 messages in the mailbox). Small mailboxes, I don't see so much benefit to using deliver (ie, <10,000 messages).
That's my experience, at least, on a high volume but small number of users mail system.
