Hi,Looking for advice.Scenario: we have a dmz mta that currently redirects received emails for a selection of email domains to specific internal ms exchange servers.?We want this mta to redirect incoming customer emails directed to a set of email addresses numbering about 30, to a dovecot server and associate these emails to a single dovecot user account so that a contact Centre platform can pull these emails on a frequent cycle.How to go about configuring this on the dovecot? I assume a postfix server needs to be installed on the dovecot server for the dmz mta to send these emails to dovecot inbox? Any advice most appreciated. David. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

First, configure the Dovecot server so, that those addresses are mapped to the same (virtual) user account via a userdb. Second, enabled LMTP in Dovecot. Third, configure the MTA in the DMZ to drop the messages via LMTP to Dovecot. Forth, configure a passdb{} in Dovecot so that the contact people may access the same mail storage. There are many different ways for step 1 and for LMTP itself. - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEVAwUBV61xvnz1H7kL/d9rAQJEkggApg16h2Xxbxa0Bj1ut3EewqxsfYdtOfE3 yM1URhunMN4YIZ/hwuA9DrUo104+0spnOjNdz5GaDfi3Y3QfwLNTUQrmS24Ih9zG YGbmtsC0izfudfGeLb5zHRC+GDJV4g2j67pSEg7rwQdfnS6LTgtwPyMrcCxLtRjQ OCCya26u3TJLwgZ73BTe53HLSlfFYL739rvpk16aLhl/B6i8Ue9PYYNEa6hk2tRe FMc3QLv3iBvsfDrT38oXpwaoF7J20LH7jWNExgF2ZAeBLdpESCNK6jHNeS9qjAaI DZY9ZJ6D/oQXnq+iScYBgWLrz8cS6v1TckOxjQSvqUH8gKXJO9PShQ==7mdJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hi Steffen, Many thanks for your reply. I suspect I will be prevented from using LMTP as the protocol from DMZ MTA to the Dovecot and will be asked to use SMTP. In which case, I am thinking to install PostFix on the same Dovecot server and associate the email addresses/domains there and use LMTP from Postfix to Dovecot on local unix socket. Would this work? Regards, David.
