Ah, then Timo's reply was right. He suggested you do the lmtp-deliveries to the same server that you would send you imap-user to. You can do this trough dovecot director and lmtp-proxying.
So instead of:
lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
you should use:
lmtp:tcp:1.2.3.4:24
where 1.2.3.4 would be the Dovecot LMTP proxy that proxies to the same machine as you would use for imap for this particular recipient.
I see. So as far as I understood:
- I set up a new server as LMTP proxy for my two MX 10 to connect to
- the proxy redirects to my backend imap servers which will then store the mails on my shared storage and the index files to a local disk (so I have to enable LMTP additionally to enable this servers to store the mails)
- I set up a frontend imap server for my users to connect to which will redirect them to the backend servers
Am I right so far?
