    just a small correction .... dovecot has its own delivery agent, 
which means it (dovecot) can handle the 'deliver mail to maildir' part. 
I'm not sure about mailbox, but maildir i'm sure dovecot delivery agent 
can handle.

    anyway, you'll still need an MTA to collect data from the network 
(via SMTP) and then forward it to dovecot delivery agent.

    dovecot is not an MTA so it cannot talk SMTP.
