Using Dovecot’s LMTP

In order to use Dovecot’s LMTP as virtual_transport with Postfix make sure you have have:

  • lmtp in your protocols setting (dovecot.conf)

  • configured a lmtp listener: service lmtp {} (conf.d/10-master.conf)

  • set lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp as the domain.transport in your vmm.cfg.

If you want to switch the transport of existing domains and/or accounts, you can use the subcommands domaintransport and usertransport.
