In almost all setups MTA delivers mails to LDA one at a time. Multiple
deliveries are useful only if you want to try to get the same mail file
hard linked to all recipients. So normally this is a non-issue.
I guess my sendmail is not normal. The default configuration does pool
multiple recipient delivery and run mail.local with all these users as
arguments in one invocation.
dovecot-lda doesn't seem to support multiple recipients per invocation,
so this won't be a problem. The implication for sendmail users,
though, is that multiple concurrent deliveries must be disabled if you
use dovecot-lda (the 'm' flag must be removed from LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS)
as implicitely done in
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail
I notice the 'A' flag is missing here: doesn't this kill aliasing? If and
when I can fully test my setup, I will update this page.

IIRC /usr/ucb/ps shows the changes.
Ah. I'll take your word for it since I only have the SysV stuff
installed. Thanks for the info.
