dovecot - Jan 2006 - dovecot lda with sendmail

I'm trying to set up dovecot's deliver program as the lda for sendmail. 
  I seem to need a config file for it '/etc/dovecot-deliver.conf'.  Is 
there any documentation for this configuration file and it's contents?

sendmail will call it under the recipient's uid, and all it has to do is 
drop the message into the proper maildir as defined in /etc/dovecot.conf 
and update the indexes.

config sendmail to use it like:
FEATURE(`local_procmail', `pathto/libexec/dovecot/deliver', `deliver -c
pathto/dovecot/etc/dovecot-deliver.conf -d $u')
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f')

Then, in dovecot-deliver.conf, declare the socket to use
auth_socket_path = pathto/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master

in dovecot.conf, in auth default section, add this:
    socket listen {
        master {
            path = /opt/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master
            mode = 0666
        }
    }

And you're done :)
