Hello all,
Is there a way to use LMTP (or LDA) so that maildir index and dovecot-uidlist are not updated?
My setup is such that mail delivery sees user's maildir as write only. This setup works well when using postfix for mail delivery, but when I try to switch to dovecot LMTP the lmtp process wants to read the dovecot-uidlist and fails on insufficient privileges. Is there a way around this without exposing the maildir and mail home for read access?

When indexes cannot be updated upon delivery, there is no real benefit in using dovecot's delivery mechanisms. So you could just simply let postfix deliver the messages.
