-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 One other question; has anybody considered writing a tool that integrates Dovecot's deliver script and an LMTP server? I'm architecting my system so that my internet facing SMTP is Postfix, but the mail folders live on a different machine. Right now, I'm considering putting a highly restricted Postfix on the internal machine, which only accepts forwards from the external machine. IWBNI I could eliminate that extra Postfix process by just letting the external one deliver to an LMTP on the internal machine, which was integrated with Dovecot's deliver. Does anything like that exist? I have a reasonably robust Python LMTP server in the current Mailman trunk. Would it be insane to try to marry that with deliver? ;) - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRZC95XEjvBPtnXfVAQJgDQP+PxNPZ2453Bb8poBbwtgKAZjwmAJnX4L3 SzipzaoEE8/P8oj/sRwwRO19ViTPmXGZTgQQTF8ipqNL2YAL73QlyeLypzu0ZBBi WyplPkgFlgMeS5rnk9ibyejerO+JdsZt6zKnyKDqdhnhVsgTwvzMsNlu6MaWqtl8 fXPd5Gur6+M=HGgh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Would it be insane to > try to marry that with deliver? ;)I don't have plans to write LMTP server for Dovecot anytime soon, but I don't see any problems with integrating deliver to another LMTP server.. Of course the performance might not be as good as for a LMTP server that doesn't need to fork()+exec()+do lots of initialization for each delivery. But it won't be worse than Postfix+deliver :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Last days of November, I was searching some hints for an LMTP server, able to deliver like dovecot lda: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-November/017848.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-November/017850.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-November/017854.html As you can see, I've to setup a similar environment; in particular, the need of an lmtp server comes from hundreds of mailing-lists. Now I'm working only on a small lmtp server in C [not using inetd or similar like the one from pll] and calling deliver for each good mail, but it would be very interesting for my work trying also something different, and better.
