Hi to all, i have qmail installed on my system with dot-qmail files format to deliver to mailbox (maildir format with dovecot 2.2.12); currently i use LDA to delivery agent but we would migrate to LMTP is it possible? and if yes someone could bring me to the right direction to implement this? thanks.

Hi Davide,
is not possibile to use Dovecot/LMTP with Qmail. LDA works fine for me (with qmail), why you need LMTP?

why do you need qmail?
the latest release is 1.0.3 from 1998 who right in his mind installs a 16 years unmaintained software?

Because (other than you having absolutely no idea what the latest release is) it's better than whatever you're using, so there.

Well the "better than whatever you're using" part is somewhat doubtful. I had the opportunity to compare qmail and Postfix on a server with identical functionality and user base. Standard qmail setup (tcpserver - rblsmtpd - qmail-smtpd - qmail-qfilter) choked badly on million+ incoming connections per day (most of that being spam outbreak rejected by rblsmtpd, i.e. qmail-smtpd was never invoked)
That situation forced deployment of second server with same MX priority and even with that some clients weren't able to connect, because it choked as the first one.
After migration to Postfix one box handles even worse spam outbreaks (10M connections per day) with ease and with stock source base you can do things that required creating your own software and/or patching qmail with your own patches.
So you might want to tone it down with statements like that. Same goes for telling people they have no idea about something.

I'm running an installation with the inverse situation, qmail works fine under pressure and postfix not.
I think that is only a "tuning/configuration" problem. I'm very familiar with qmail and not with postfix, so for me is more simple to work with qmail.
If you are familiar with postfix, postfix will works better for you, if you are familiar with qmail you will install qmail.

Umaintained doesn't neccessarily mean problematic. Qmail does what it's supposed to do (accept mails and either relay them or deliver into mailbox) and it does it well enough. AFAIK there's have been no security holes in these 16 years.
It's missing features, yes, but you don't always need them. (Plus a lot can be added with unoffical patches.)
On the other hand, personally I don't know any patch to add LMTP support into qmail, neither on transmitting, nor on receiving side.
