I'm currently setting up a large mail system, with different services split out onto different machines. What I want is this: machine1: dovecot smtp auth, no pop/imap machine2: dovecot lda, no pop/imap machine3: pop/imap, nothing else machine3 is obviously not the issue. Is there a way to run machine1 and machine2 with just their respective services, but no pop/imap? -- Marshal Newrock Ideal Solution, LLC - http://www.idealso.com

Well, machine1 is also no issue. Just don't run Dovecot on it. Run an
SMTP server only, which is configured to support ASMTP.
For machine2, I am not sure what you want to achieve with the LDA. Is
this where the mailboxes will be located?
What are your plans on how the mailboxes are going to be accessed?

I was a bit bogged down at the time, so we just configured it to run pop3, but listen on localhost only. i.e. in dovecot.conf: protocols = pop3 ... protocol pop3 { listen = 127.0.0.1:110 ... } Might be worth revisiting so we can do protocols = none.
