[Dovecot] dovecot howto?

[Olaf Zaplinski]

Hi,

is there a *simple* HOWTO that explains a simple postfix+dovecot setup? Up 
to now, I used postfix+cyrus, worked fine. But I do not get postfix+dovecot 
to work. Currently, all emails go to /dev/null.

What really would help me is a dovecot lmtp server. Is there any?

Regards
Olaf

# -- delivery options

      user = postfix
