Postfix and Dovecot LDA vs. LMTP

Thanks again Jan.

I appear to have basic LMTP working now (messages are delivered to virtual
mailboxes of valid recipients and non-existent recipients are rejected).
Cool.  Still lots more work to do.

But I think I could really use the Dovecot book.  I find the wiki to be
lacking in explanation.  So, too often I'm just copying without knowing the
reason why or how some things fit together.

Peer:  Is there any way to get an English copy of your book?

Michael
