Not wishing to hijack the thread, but I've been trying for years, intermittently, to get LAN mail working. It did work once, years ago, but I'm damned if I can get it going again now. My problem is not with dovecot but with postfix. Mail originating on the posfix machine goes where it should, but not any from others on the LAN. -- Regards, Peter.
