[Dovecot] lmtp server

I believe that dovecot lmtp server will be released with 2.0 version.

I working at a project that requires an lmtp server to have scalability. How about the stability of the actual version (alpha, beta ?). Is it mature to be used at production environment ?

Another question, my 'ideal' setup would be to receive a message by lmtp and delivers it to an external command (like maildrop). Would it be possible. ?
