[Dovecot] Receive Mail via lmtp/tcp
hi,
we have IMAP and SMTP (sendmail(solaris)) on different hosts. Sendmail delivers Mails via LMTP to Cyrus and Cyrus puts the mails into the (hopefully) right box. Now I want to replace the Cyrus host with Dovecot. I've searched a bit in Google but there isn't much about LMTP via TCP in combination with DoveCot. Version 2 seems to be get the feature, but we have round about 5k users, so beta is no choice. Also I red something about maidag (mailutils from Gnu) that could do the Job, but maybe there is a better way. I do not want to install Postfix (or any other SMTP service) on that IMAP Server. So I'm asking is there anybody who has the same construct. Important is, that Quota full etc. messages (RFC) gets back to sendmail, so that the MTA reject the mails, before accepting.

LMTP support is a new feature for dovecot v2, and will not be backported to v1...
So, your best bet is to wait until 2.0 is released (or better, 2.0.1+).

Dunno anything about that... maybe it could serve as an interim solution until 2.0 gets to where you want it.
You didn't say what OS/distro dovecot would be running on - will it be on solaris too?

no choice. The IMAP needs now (next two or three weeks with testing)

yupp, bad Solaris 10 too ;-)
At the moment it seems to be the best to install Postfix as second MTA without any more things.

Hi, there's a 'catch all' mailbox transport for configuring a backend Postfix? Now my Postfix backend do a DB query to discover for local virtual domains.. but it's a duplicated control! I have already my Postfix frontend doing virtual domains e mailboxes lookups on tables and spam-filtering.
any idea ??
