No. Dovecot is JUST an IMAP/Pop3 server. SMTP *MUST* be handled via an MTA (Mail transport agent). Exim, Postfix, Sendmail, qmail, others are MTA's for SMTP.

All,

I was wondering if it is possible to use Dovecot as both incoming and outgoing.

I have a friend that I am helping build a server, and he plans on using Dovecot for POP/IMAP and Postfix for SMTP and mailbox storage.

If I understand right, Dovecot can handle both services and that is the path I would like him to take for easier maintenance.

Can someone confirm this?
