Hi,
is there a *simple* HOWTO that explains a simple postfix+dovecot setup?
Up to now, I used postfix+cyrus, worked fine. But I do not get
postfix+dovecot to work. Currently, all emails go to /dev/null.
What really would help me is a dovecot lmtp server. Is there any?

Olaf

Olaf,
I'm quite new to both postfix and dovecot. This probably does not qualify as "simple" but
I found this link helpful:
