Hi everyone:

Anyone knows what are the differences (or advantages and disadvantages)
between Postfix with Dovecot LDA Vs. Postfix with Procmail LDA?

Advantages and disadvantages for which use(s)?

- Answer will likely not be the same if you also have Dovecot installed
for POP3 or IMAP, another POP3/IMAP server, or neither
- Are your users likely to tweak delivery using either? What for? (eg,
selective forwarding or moving to per-ML folders, moving email tagged as
spam (in subject or other headers) to its own folder)

- dovecot supports Sieve (a mail filtering standard)
- maildrop uses pcre (a pattern matching standard)
- procmail uses its own ugly garbage.

http://simson.net/ref/ugh.pdf



- if you use dovecot as a pop/imap server, then dovecot lda is a
"natural" choice.
- elsif you use courier pop/imap, then use maildrop
- elsif you need no filtering, use postfix alone
- else, use maildrop
