My system has a great big four users. The Dovecot wiki says LMTP is more efficient, and someone on IRC told me I'd need it if I were ever to use sieve, which at this time I have no intention of doing. Should I stick with LDA, or just implement LMTP so I'm ready if ever I need it in the future? The bottom line is, it's unclear from the wiki how to explicitly specify use of one or the other, so that's my question.
Im using Dovecot for LMTP for all my mail users, since this way they are completely virtual (i.e. dont need to have a local account at all), all mail gets delivered to Maildirs owned by dovecot. Also LMTP makes it easier to insert scripts and do any custom processing which presumably is where Sieve comes in. Its also pretty easy to setup.

OK, so how is Dovecot told to use LMTP instead of LDA? I must not be understanding something about what's in either 15-lda.conf or 20-lmtp.conf.
