Hi to all, i have qmail installed on my system with dot-qmail files format to deliver to mailbox (maildir format with dovecot 2.2.12); currently i use LDA to delivery agent but we would migrate to LMTP is it possible? and if yes someone could bring me to the right direction to implement this? thanks.
is not possibile to use Dovecot/LMTP with Qmail. LDA works fine for me (with qmail), why you need LMTP?
why do you need qmail?
the latest release is 1.0.3 from 1998 who right in his mind installs a 16 years unmaintained software?
Umaintained doesn't neccessarily mean problematic. Qmail does what it's supposed to do (accept mails and either relay them or deliver into mailbox) and it does it well enough. AFAIK there's have been no security holes in these 16 years.
It's missing features, yes, but you don't always need them. (Plus a lot can be added with unoffical patches.)
On the other hand, personally I don't know any patch to add LMTP support into qmail, neither on transmitting, nor on receiving side.
