[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA and Postfix/local for local users.
Hello, I would like to configure dovecot lda for local users. My dovecot vesion is 1.2.15. Dovecot documentation for System users says that only thing I should add to main.cf is:
mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver (path to deliver)
After that should I commented postfix/local process from master cf ?
regards, Jarek

I've the same setup, and no, you don't need to comment anything in master.cf, since those are just "definitions", you decide the actual use via the main.cf (at least as regards the delivery).

When commented local in master.cf #local unix - n n - - local
I got errors:
[...] Mar 8 15:18:19 test-box1 postfix/error[13361]: 686A0422EB: to=<usr@testdomain.org>, relay=none, delay=2191, delays=2191/0.01/0/0.02, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable) [...]
When uncommented I can see in logs that although deliver is using - local is used somewhere. Can anyone explain how it works and why postfix/local is needed? Logs with uncomended local:

no. How else is postfix going to deliver to _local_ users?When uncommented I can see in logs that although deliver is using - local is used somewhere. Can anyone explain how it works and why postfix/local is needed? Logs with uncomended local:
postfix/local is the local handoff, hence its name.
