Hi,

I've tried to work with the option NOT to get the INBOX, and to use "lmtp"

Email are stoill blocked into sendmail



Here is my _*sendmail config*_

define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `local_lmtp')dnl
dnl ############################  FIN OPENDKIM ######
dnl ###### boost traitement ############"dnl
FEATURE(`access_db', `hash -T<TMPF> -o /etc/mail/access.db')dnl
dnl # define(`confCONNECTION_RATE_THROTTLE',2800)dnl
FEATURE(local_procmail, `', `procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u')dnl
*FEATURE(`local_lmtp')*
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
MAILER(procmail)dnl
MAILER(dovecot)dnl   ->maybe totally useless if I declare : MAILER( local )


and my dovecot config
