Have you checked out Dovecot's own LDA?
No, but I just did, and it looks like exactly what I need... except that it doesn't support passwd-file auth. Or am I missing that?
It uses dovecot-auth directly, so you don't have to configure users for the LDA separately.
The website documentation on this matter is noticeably outdated.
Do you, by chance, have your mail partition mounted 'noatime'?
No, but I think that my indexing problem is that my self-made LDA/MDA is not following maildir spec in file naming and construction. I'd prefer to use deliver if I could.
As long as the filenames are always unique (eg. inode numbers get reused), there should be no problem. Dovecot doesn't require any index updates either from MDA. What errors are you getting?
