The Subject: is misleading. The OP wants merely to shorten this working setting:

As mouss pointed out: > >as per http://www.postfix.org/lmtp.8.html you can specify > >lmtp_port (default is 24). so you could do -o lmtp_port=10026 and with a master.cf entry: dovecot unix - - n - - lmtp -o lmtp_port=10026 He can use "virtual_transport = dovecot:[localhost]" (If this is the only use of lmtp, lmtp_port=10026 could as well be set in main.cf.) One final trick is possible: a DNS hack such that any domains which would be delivered by this virtual_transport all resolve with an MX record pointing to localhost. In fact if the Dovecot LMTP port is listening on the external IP address[es], this might work without a DNS hack. I'm not sure if that would cause a "loops back to myself" error, however. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
