I'm replying to two (2) messages herein ...

In response to 'Steffen Kaiser': I haven't found in the thread, why 
you don't use Deliver as local LDA?

MY_Reply 1): we're following a dovecot.org article; trying to figure 
out if its something we are doing incorrectly, or if there is an 
installation, or some other such issue.


'Steffen Kaiser'-- BTW: You've defined  local_lmtp, why?
My_Reply 1a): It, local_lmtp, was already in the default file and things were 
working.
