Re: [Dovecot] feature question: local delivery from SMTP

Does Dovecot really need a separate MTA for inbound mail? Or can it receive SMTP directly if there is no forwarding to do? What about spam/virus filtering in that case?

Dovecot does not receive mails. It only serves them to users via IMAP or POP3.

So, yes, you need a program like exim or postfix.
