Hello,
Yes OpenSMTPD can work with Dovecot via LDA, but from my experience
LMTP is much faster. With LDA, the LDA process is spawned for every
incoming connection. With LMTP, you have a single process listening
which accepts connections via TCP. I've seen my server load drop
significantly after switching from LDA to LMTP.
Yes... I stopped using LMTP because it inexplicably refused to work over
local TCP sockets. IIRC there was some other feature the command-line
gave me that LMTP didn't, as well, but I haven't gone back and re-tested
since I got it working - it's entirely possible it now works perfectly.
Perhaps I was using "deliver" instead of "relay", which would not be
obvious.
Agreed that LMTP over UNIX socket should, in theory, be the
fastest/lowest-overhead way to deliver local mail through dovecot.
