Indeed. I *never* run an incoming MTA on the imap/pop3 hosts if I can avoid it. LMTP was designed for this. mailbox_transport = lmtp:[dbmail]:24 virtual_transport = lmtp:[dbmail]:24 where 'dbmail' can be any IP or hostname you prefer. Of course, normal latency considerations apply. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul J Stevens pjstevns @ gmail, twitter, github, linkedin www.nfg.nl/i...@nfg.nl/+31.85.877.99.97 _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list DBmail@dbmail.org http://mailman.fastxs.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
