G'Day,
LDA = Local Delivery Agent? Postfix is the MTA with Dovecot providing
POP3 and IMAP.

hello,
is your dovecot supposed to act as a LDA ?
G'Day,
I am trying to find a definitive answer to what the directory
permissions should be for my configuration under Centos 5.5. I see
a number of the following error messages in the maillog as a
consequence of permissions errors. After reading the FAQ, Wiki etc.
and browsing the web I am unable to determine just exactly what the
user security settings should be for the offending folders. If
anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Should you require additional diagnostic information let me know
and I will source it.
The error messages:
