[Dovecot] Step-by-set Postfix/Dovecot/LDA?
Anyone know of a /complete/ step-by-step HOWTO for setting up a system using Postfix, Dovecot, and Deliver? I'm looking to put a new mail server together that will host three domains with pretty low volumes of email. Later adding three or four more for some non-profits that I host.
I'm finding my self skipping all around the Postfix and Dovecot sites trying to come up with this setup.
I have set up Postfix in several different configurations: inbound spool, outbound SMTP, regular mail server, etc. And with Dovecot I was lucky as it ran for me pretty much out of the box. Of course that was on a single domain mail server. (Not to mention it is a really old version.)
Since it went up I've added a couple of domains to my personal collection and rather than add a new mail server for each I thought I'd go the virtual route.
Anyone have a complete set of example .conf files they could share?
main.cf, master.cf dovecot.conf
Isn't it about time for a Dovecot book?
TIA, Rod

Thanks Markus. This looks very promising. Between an example I received and what I've done so far hopefully I'll have it today.
The interesting issue right now is I think I've got my firewall in a knot. I can't even telnet to the mail server port. So I can't even test if what I've got so far is any where near good. !#$%
