[Question] Postfix and Dovecot delivery integration

[tyranron]

According to current (release 2.0.0) configuration Postfix delivers mails to account's mailboxes via LDA command:

/target/postfix/main.cf:64-65

# Enable Dovecot Sieve
virtual_transport = dovecot

/target/postfix/master.cf:66-71

#
# Dovecot LDA configuration
#

dovecot unix    -       n       n       -       -      pipe
  flags=DRhu user=docker argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -m ${extension}

So Postfix uses /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver util to deliver message to Dovecot. This applies some additional requirements, i.e. Postfix and Dovecot should have access to this directory under the same user and etc.

My question is:
Why not use LMTP over unix socket as this page recommends?
LMTP really simplifies configuration and decreases processes coupling.
Do I miss any caveats?

Why still hesitate? @tyranron can you implement LMTP in docker-mailserver?

[tyranron]

@Josef-Friedrich yeap, I'll try in next few days.

@tomav oops, sorry. Totally forget about this. It was better to say "few months" =/
