I can't use LMTP, here is the raison why.
In contrast OpenSMTPD's own MDA and dovecot-lda both work well.
I have multiple domains and bob@domain1 has not to be confused with
bob@domain2.
Using OpenSMTPD's own MDA works well
--------------
accept .... deliver to maildir
"/var/mail/users/%{dest.domain}/%{user.username}/Maildir"
--------------
Using dovecot-lda works well
--------------
accept .... deliver to mda "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f
%{sender} -d %{dest}"
--------------
I find this second method better, because it is only up to one server to
mind about mailbox location, and dovecot can create all the tree to the
mailbox if configured to do so.
----- dovecot.conf -----------
mail_home=/var/mail/users/%d/%n
----------------------------
The better solution would be using LMTP, but OpenSMTP doesn't send
enough information for dovecot being able to be find out the intended
mail box location. The domain part is missing. I spied the dialog
between OpenSMTP and the LMTP server to get evidence of that.
First I sent manually to devcot-lmtp:
--------
socat - unix-connect:/var/run/dovecot/lmtp # YES I don't need socat,
netcat is enough !
220 mail.mondomaine.fr Dovecot ready.

So dovecot-lmtp did what I wanted it to do.
Now, let OpenSMTPD talk to dovecot-lmtp
------ smtpd.conf ----------
accept ...deliver to lmtp localhost:5000
--------- shell -------------
mknod backpipe p
nc -l 5000 < backpipe | tee -a in | nc -U /var/run/dovecot/lmtp | tee -a
out > backpipe
---------------------------
Here is what OpenSMTP sent:
--------- cat in ---
cat in
LHLO xxx.mondomaine.fr
MAIL FROM:<[email protected]>
RCPT TO:<phil>
....
------------------
I browsed the source
--------- delivery_lmtp.c----
case LMTP_MAIL_FROM:
if (buffer[0] != '2')
errx(1, "MAIL FROM rejected: %s\n", buffer);
fprintf(fp, "RCPT TO:<%s>\r\n", deliver->user);
state = LMTP_RCPT_TO;
break;
----------
The "RCPT TO:<%s>\r\n", deliver->user makes it clear.
I suggest that selecting which piece of info is to be passed in the RCPT
TO be an option
------
accept .... deliver to lmtp <socket> rcpt-to %{dest}
------
would be fine for me.
I tried hard with OpenSMTPD tables ( virtual and userbase ) to bypass
this limitation, without any succes. I am going back to dovecot-lda.
Hope my experiments will help some.
