Sure. I used the documentation to setup lmtp from here:
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/howto/postfix_dovecot_lmtp/
When issuing this command:
ss -lxn | grep lmtp
And I get:
u_str LISTEN 0 100
private/lmtp 64917 * 0
u_str LISTEN 0 100
/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp 63578 * 0
u_str LISTEN 0 100
/var/run/dovecot/lmtp 63575 * 0
When I expect:
u_str LISTEN 0 100
private/lmtp 64917 * 0
u_str LISTEN 0 100
/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp 63578 * 0
The first entry I believe belongs to postfix.
The second one is the one I set as above.
The third seems to be an extra.
I have an Ubuntu setup if that matters.
Again, I don't think it is an issue. Everything seems to work, just
thought it makes sense to understand what is going on.

Check `doveconf service/lmtp`
Aki
service {
chroot =
client_limit = 1
drop_priv_before_exec = no
executable = lmtp -L
extra_groups = $default_internal_group
group =
idle_kill = 0
privileged_group =
process_limit = 0
process_min_avail = 0
protocol = lmtp
service_count = 0
type =
unix_listener {
group = postfix
mode = 0600
user = postfix
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp
}
unix_listener {
group =
mode = 0666
user =
path = lmtp
}
user =
vsz_limit = 18446744073709551615 B
name = lmtp
}
I assume the second unix_listener stanza is where the other entry
comes from, but I haven't a clue where it is getting defined.
I'll keep looking.
Thanks.
Mike
