Hi,

I can't seems to find any posting on how to configure sendmail to use
dovecot as lmtp. All I see is using it as LDA.  I am particularly interested
on how to tell sendmail to ask dovecot to deliver the message to the user.

In the wiki for lda it says to add the following in the sendmail  config:

FEATURE(`local_procmail',
`/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver',`/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d
$u')
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f')
MAILER(procmail)

Is this the same for lmtp? If so how does it know when to use lda or lmtp?
Beside, is procmail playing any role in any of these? Can the I just replace
the whole thing as:

FEATURE(`local_lmtp',`/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver',`/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
-d $u)
MAILER(`local')

Thanks.
