Both Dovecot and Postfix speak LMTP, so why not use it for local mail transport? As the name suggests, that's what it was designed for, and the setup I described (my standard configuration) has proven to be both easy to configure and very reliable for me and my customers. > I don't know postfix much though, so maybe that's hard to do with > postfix, unlike my pet exim. It's easy, see mailbox_command et al. One could even configure different commands for each recipient, but I think LMTP beats launching an external process per delivery. -Ralph
