If you are unsure how Postfix and Dovecot work together take a moment and go back to the <em>big picture</em> page.</p>
<p>In a previous chapter we made sure that Postfix knows which emails it is allowed to receive. Now what to do with the email? It has to be saved to disk into the mailbox of the mail user who is eagerly waiting for it. You could let Postfix handle that using its built-in mail delivery agent (MDA) called “<em>virtual</em>“. However compared to the capabilities that Dovecot provides like server-based sieve rules or quotas the Postfix delivery agent is pretty basic. We are using Dovecot anyway to provide the IMAP (and optionally POP3) service. So lets use its <em>delivery agent</em>.</p>
<p>How can we make Postfix hand over the email to Dovecot? There are generally two ways to establish that link.</p>
<ol>
<li>Using the <em>dovecot-lda</em> (local delivery agent) process. It can process one email at a time. And it starts up a new process for every email. This was for long the default way. But as you can imagine that it does not scale well.</li>
<li>The better option is to use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Mail_Transfer_Protocol">LMTP (local mail transport protocol)</a> that was conceived for this purpose. It can handle multiple recipients at the same time and has a permanently running process which provides a better performance than using the LDA. In short, LMTP is a variant of SMTP with fewer features. It is meant for email communication between internal services that trust each other.</li>
</ol>
<p>You guessed it already we will go for the second option. You installed the <em>dovecot-lmtpd</em> package earlier. So lets configure it.</p>

<p>Edit Dovecots configuration file that deals with the LMTP daemon you can find it at <code dir="auto">/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf</code>. Look for the “service lmtp” section and edit it so that it looks like:</p>
<div class="expressive-code"><link rel="stylesheet" href="/_astro/ec.v4551.css"><script type="module" src="/_astro/ec.0vx5m.js"></script><figure class="frame not-content"><figcaption class="header"></figcaption><pre data-language="plaintext"><code><div class="ec-line"><div class="code"><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53">service lmtp {</span></div></div><div class="ec-line"><div class="code"><span class="indent"><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53"> </span></span><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53">unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp {</span></div></div><div class="ec-line"><div class="code"><span class="indent"><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53"> </span></span><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53">group = postfix</span></div></div><div class="ec-line"><div class="code"><span class="indent"><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53"> </span></span><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53">mode = 0600</span></div></div><div class="ec-line"><div class="code"><span class="indent"><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53"> </span></span><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53">user = postfix</span></div></div><div class="ec-line"><div class="code"><span class="indent"><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53"> </span></span><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53">}</span></div></div><div class="ec-line"><div class="code"><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53">}</span></div></div></code></pre><div class="copy"><div aria-live="polite"></div><button title="Copy to clipboard" data-copied="Copied!" data-code="service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix }}"><div></div></button></div></figure></div>
<p>This makes Dovecots <em>lmtp daemon</em> create a UNIX socket at /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp. Just like in the section dealing with setting up Dovecot we make it put a socket into the /var/spool/postfix chroot directory because Postfix is restricted to that directory and cannot access anything outside of it. So from Postfixs point of view the socket is located at “/private/dovecot-lmtp”.</p>
<p>Restart Dovecot…</p>

<p>This is even easier. The “<em>virtual_transport</em>” in Postfix defines the service to use for delivering emails to the local system. Dovecot has created a socket file and is ready to listen to incoming LMTP connections. We just need to tell Postfix to send emails there:</p>
<div class="expressive-code"><figure class="frame not-content"><figcaption class="header"></figcaption><pre data-language="plaintext"><code><div class="ec-line"><div class="code"><span style="--0:#d6deeb;--1:#403f53">postconf virtual_transport=lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp</span></div></div></code></pre><div class="copy"><div aria-live="polite"></div><button title="Copy to clipboard" data-copied="Copied!" data-code="postconf virtual_transport=lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp"><div></div></button></div></figure></div>
<p>The syntax looks crazy, but its actually simple. You just told Postfix to use the LMTP protocol. And that we want to use a UNIX socket on the same system (instead of a TCP connection). And the socket file is located at <code dir="auto">/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp</code>.</p>
<p>(You will find further information on these steps in the <a href="https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/howto/postfix_dovecot_lmtp/">Dovecot configuration on Postfix integration</a>.)</p>

<p>One of my favorite features of Dovecot are automatic rules for incoming email that are processed on the server. You can sort away your mailing list emails into special folders. You can reject certain senders. Or you can set up vacation auto-responders. No need to have a mail client running it all happens automatically on the server even when your mail users are not connected.</p>
<p>The open standard (RFC 5228) for such rules is called Sieve. Basically, Sieve is a way to manage server-side email rules. A rule consists of conditions and actions. For example if the sender address matches <code dir="auto">steve@example.org</code> you could tell Dovecot to move such emails to your “steve” folder automatically. These rules are stored on the Dovecot server and executed automatically. Whether you connect from your smartphone your laptop or use the webmail access the rules always work and require no configuration on the client side.</p>
<p>As we use LMTP thats where we need to tell the lmtp service that we want to use Dovecots “sieve” plugin. Edit the file <code dir="auto">/etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf</code> and within the “protocol lmtp” section change the “mail_plugins” line to:</p>
