I'm asking trying to learn:
Is there a benefit of using LMTP for local delivery when using Dovecot?
Why not use Dovecot LDA (without using LMTP)?
Better scalability, performance, and error handling than is possible
with the pipe-to-command interface.
In Postfix documentation, I've read about lmtp that "The advantage of
this setup is that one Postfix machine can feed multiple mailbox servers
over LMTP. The opposite is true as well: one mailbox server can be fed
over LMTP by multiple Postfix machines."
And I wonder:
1. Can't this be done also with Dovecot LDA?
Yes, if you limit yourself to one machine.

Besides that, you need dovecot-lda to be setuid-root or call it with sudo
(according to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA) to get it to cooperate with
Postfix. I think using LMTP is a much more cleaner solution.
