In 15-lda.conf, the default sendmail is used to send messges from Dovecot, such as "out of hours" and "redirected" emails controlled by sieves.

However, postfix/sendmail is looking in /etc/postfix/main.cf for the configuration file (as logged in /var/log/maillog), but I have the config file elsewhere, and I even have MAIL_CONFIG setup to point to the true config directory.

Is there a method of setting 15-lda.conf sendmail config to ensure it uese the correct postfix config file? Have you considered setting "sendmail_path" to your custom "sendmail wrapper" script? It should allow you to pass extra command line options to sendmail/postfix [e.g. non standard location of the configuration file].

IMHO on long run docvecot configuration should support passing extra command line parameters to sendmail (e.g. via "sendmail_options").
