By "sort" do you mean sort mail based on certain criteria (eg. put spam emails in one mailbox, non-spam in another), or do you mean the more basic sort email from one user vs. another, and deliver to the appropraite INBOX? Paul's response is in reference to the former: > It doesn't (yet). If you need sorting use the postfix->procmail->dbmail-smtp route. I understood the latter meaning when I read your message. If that's the case, then dbmail-lmtp knows based on the lmtp conversation (postfix tells it what address to deliver to, dbmail then looks that up in it's aliases table and sends the mail to where it should based on that). > > Is this scenario possible?

Again, if you mean to sort into one user's mailbox vs. another's, you don't actually use a system mailbox for this. dbmail gets setup as a postfix transport and all mail for your domain gets sent to it to be saved in the database. You don't need postfix to deliver to a local mbox to sort out later (no linux user accounts are required at all).
