Hey all, I've been reading the tutorial on workaround.org and it uses the variable 'virtual_mailbox_domains' to list all the domains Postfix/Dovecot needs to receive emails for. Of course this also means you need to change the 'virtual_transport' setting to use LMTP/dovecot-lda to deliver the email to Dovecot - instead of using 'virtual' to store the email on your local drive. I understand this concept and it makes sense to me.
Last week however, I was reading a book on Dovecot written by Peer Heinlein and he says that if you put a Postfix server in front of Dovecot you should use 'relay_domains' for these domains, combined with 'transport_maps'. Is there any real difference in using one method or the other and, perhaps more importantly, what is the recommended way of sending emails from Postfix to Dovecot? The advantage of Peer's method is that you can place the Postfix server in a DMZ and it does not need access to your MySQL/... database for username information. Best regards, Tom
