Well, machine1 is also no issue. Just don't run Dovecot on it. Run an SMTP server only, which is configured to support ASMTP.
I would like to use dovecot sasl (with postfix) as it is much easier to set up. Also, the machines will all mostly be clones of each other, except for some config files and running services.
For machine2, I am not sure what you want to achieve with the LDA. Is this where the mailboxes will be located?
What are your plans on how the mailboxes are going to be accessed?
The mailboxes will be on another machine, accessed over NFS. I want to use the LDA for quota support, especially as it looks like it will update the usage in the database.
To give a little more detail, each of the three machines listed above will be a group of machines, hence the mailboxes through NFS.
