*What doesn't work* I thought the next step would be to execute dovecot-lda manually (as is suggested on the wiki and in numerous newsgroup posts), but I can't figure out how to do this. When I execute it as root and provide my non-root username via the -u option, it hangs. I can see that it spawns a child process that executes as the non-root user (specified with the -u option). So, could someone tell how to execute dovecot-lda manually please?
Maybe use "-d"? D'oh! I meant -d. *hangs head in shame*
I had no trouble invoking
dovecot-lda -c config-file -d user < mailfile Aha! Piping a message to the process was the step I was not aware of. Thanks Joseph!
