Not nesessarily, you can make procmail hand over the message to dovecot-lda
if you like:

Something lik this:

	DELIVER="/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda"

	:0
	* ^X-RSS-Feed: .*rss2email
	| $DELIVER -m System.rss2email/

works flawless.

This example is af course very symplified, I still use a nice procmail
script to filter uot all my maillists befor handing over the rest to
dovecot.
