Muhammad Yousuf Khan articulated:
i was just trying to understand LDA my understanding with postfix is
that postfix is an MTA and procmail is an LDA to deliver email
however
i am using postfix alone and it is working great. it work with both
system user and virtual users with no issue. it receive email and
drop
it to virtual user directory or system user directory.
so my question if postfix delivering the message to all the users
then
what is the need of procmail/LDA?
Personally, I have no idea why anyone uses "procmail". For relatively
fine grain sorting of mail upon delivery, I use Dovecot and Sieve.
From
what I can ascertain, procmail hasn't even been maintained in over a
decade.
Just my 2¢ on the matter.
We have been using procmail on a relatively small set up (around 2000
users)
for about a decade. Rock solid has never refused to do anything I
wanted and I
can asuure you I have never used more than 5-10% of its abilities. I
have been looking
on Dovecot LDA recently just because of the Sieve language and its
integration
with many front ends (webmail apps etc).
