receiving and associating emails to single a/c

[David Tildesley]

Hi Steffen,

Many thanks for your reply. I suspect I will be prevented from using 
LMTP as the protocol from DMZ MTA to the Dovecot and will be asked to 
use SMTP.

In which case, I am thinking to install PostFix on the same Dovecot 
server and associate the email addresses/domains there and use LMTP from 
Postfix to Dovecot on local unix socket.

Would this work?

Regards,

David.
