I used the documentation to setup lmtp from here: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/howto/postfix_dovecot_lmtp/ When issuing this command: ss -lxn | grep lmtp And I get: u_str LISTEN 0 100 private/lmtp 64917 * 0 u_str LISTEN 0 100 /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp 63578 * 0 u_str LISTEN 0 100 /var/run/dovecot/lmtp 63575 * 0 When I expect: u_str LISTEN 0 100 private/lmtp 64917 * 0 u_str LISTEN 0 100 /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp 63578 * 0 The first entry I believe belongs to postfix. The second one is the one I set as above. The third seems to be an extra. I have an Ubuntu setup if that matters. Again, I don't think it is an issue. Everything seems to work, just thought it makes sense to understand what is going on. Mike
