You can use postfix with dovecot without having to enable the DOVECOT option -- as I recall, that's something to do with postfix using the dovecot authentication mechanisms. You only need OPENLDAP turned on for postfix if you want to use ldap lookups. (Well Duh!) For a stand-alone system without many users, ldap is overkill, and you would generally be better off using lmdb or bdb files instead (I prefer lmdb -- seems simpler and to have fewer overheads= ). > Is there anything special needed in Dovecot? No. Either you configure postfix to use dovecot's delivery agent, or you make postfix speak LMTP to dovecot: from dovecot's perspective it doesn't need to know anything about or do anything differently depending on what MTA you're using.
