Now I ask, am I better off enabling dovecot lda with the sieve spam filter, or using postfix for filter? -Mike
Hello, I'd use Dovecot Lda for delivery if you want to use sieve. Hth Dave.

I am using lmtp from postfix to dovecot following the directions in: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP The howto's linked to from the dovecot wiki contain much valuable information and helped me allot in configuring dovecot/postfix. It depends on your distribution if postfix is chrooted or not and what path to the dovecot lmtp socket needs to be configured. In the wiki the postfix 'mailbox_transport' configuration is for a chrooted postfix instance as for example seen on Debian.> -Mike- christian
