*What doesn't work* I thought the next step would be to execute
dovecot-lda manually (as is suggested on the wiki and in numerous
newsgroup posts), but I can't figure out how to do this. When I execute
it as root and provide my non-root username via the -u option, it
hangs. I can see that it spawns a child process that executes as the
non-root user (specified with the -u option). So, could someone tell
how to execute dovecot-lda manually please?
Maybe use "-d"?
I had no trouble invoking
dovecot-lda -c config-file -d user < mailfile
If it doesn't work for you, I suggest process tracing it.
Also, when does LMTP process messages? When sending mail via SMTP, or
when reading mail via IMAP? I would prefer to use LMTP rather than
LDA.
The former.
