As far as I know Dovecot doesn't serve SMTP.... You can configure dovecot to serve IMAP, IMAPs, POP3 and POP3s on the same instance.

Dovecot can also be used as an LDA (Local Delivery Agent).

For SMTP, you should use a MTA software, like Postfix, Qmail, Sendmail etc...

Hello again people,

OK, could someone verify this ?

One box, running linux CentOS.

One instance of Dovecot running for Imap/Imaps only

Another instance of a pop3/smtp server running to serve pop3/smtp .

will this work ?

Thank you kindly for your time,

Spyros
