Re: Dovecot - Do I need this?
All you have to do is just have the final delivery happen to an mbox location. For example: action "action01" mbox alias action "action02" relay match from any for domain "example.org" action "action01" match from local for any action "action02" >From there you should be able to use a mail reader like alpine or mutt.

Whatever program you're planing on using has to be able to access the Maildir/mbox directly on the file system level. Mutt is able to do this. I'm not sure whether roundcube is capable of it. A quick look at the website says it's a IMAP-client. So you would need dovecot as a IMAP-server. IIRC SquirrelMail can work with direct Maildir access. -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to misc@opensmtpd.org To unsubscribe, send a mail to: misc+unsubscr...@opensmtpd.org
Re: Dovecot - Do I need this?
You don't have to use Dovecot. Dovecot is just very popular because it is stable, secure, and scales very well!

Dovecot - Do I need this?
Hi, I am currently building a mail server using OpenSMTPD on OpenBSD 6.3 I see a lot of examples on the web about configurations and nearly all of them are using a combination of OpenSMTPD, Dovecot, Spamassassin and so on. I understand the reason behind the selection of software and the intended purpose of each software. My question is, Can I use OpenSMTPD with Spamd (OpenBSD - Spamd, Greylisting, Graytrapping) and not have anything to do with Dovecot or any other MDA. I also know the configuration is having a syntax change (pool.org) and I see that they have no reference to Dovecot or other third party software. In particular, pools.org has reference to Maildir in their configuration examples and that is what I am trying to achieve too in OpenSMTPD.
