Hello Timo,
Although I haven't tried neither director nor deliver, I'm planning to try both. I've been catching up with threads on this list talking about director but I'm not sure about how deliver would fit into a setup using director.
Since deliver would touch indexes and dovecot-uidlist, wouldn't it need to be proxied as well through director ? Is that the case ? If not, how can we use deliver as LDA in a setup where n directors would proxy to m dovecot backends ?

If you are planning to use the director, you should switch to LMTP and not use deliver as LDA. LMTP can use the director.

Excuse my poor understanding of LMTP but what I don't understand is if some sort of LDA is supposed to be at the other side of an LMTP connexion.
For instance,
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2033
states
"Therefore, if the queue manager is configured to use LMTP instead of SMTP when transferring messages to the delivery agents"
which I might interpret as "an SMTP server connects via LMTP to an LDA". Or is the LMTP server able to directly put the message in the final mailbox ?

Yes. LMTP server could be thought of as LDA.
But then you loose early updating of indexes and dovecot-uidlist files you had with deliver. So my understanding is that it's either director or deliver.

No, you don't. dovecot-lda and Dovecot's LMTP server uses exactly the same code for writing mails.

Ok. Thanks. It would have been weird not to use such an advantage (early indexing) in a director environment.
