Is there a way to use LMTP (or LDA) so that maildir index and
dovecot-uidlist are not updated?
My setup is such that mail delivery sees user's maildir as write only. This
setup works well when using postfix for mail delivery, but when I try to
switch to dovecot LMTP the lmtp process wants to read the dovecot-uidlist
and fails on insufficient privileges. Is there a way around this without
exposing the maildir and mail home for read access?
You could create MEMORY indices e.g.
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY
which will allow all the other processing like sieve to work.
However, I would look at the cause of the "insufficient privileges":
it is a symptom of something that could lead to other problems.
