Hmm. No idea. Dovecot LDA is probably implemented some day in this 
summer, but for 1.0-test versions which aren't yet stable.

There's a tool for it, cyrus2courier, which also supports Dovecot. I 
last checked it at v1.1 which is mirrored at http://dovecot.org/tools/. 
It's current version seems to be 1.3, hopefully it's still 
Dovecot-compatible.
