As an MTA should, Postfix transports email. It can also handle local |

mail transport (say, in maildirs) and I guess one could call that |
| 8 |
"storing" mail, but to me that's stretching the term too far. |

As the OP is using Postfix to feed data to Dovecot, I strongly suggest |
| 14 |
configuring Dovecot's LMTP as a mailbox transport instead of having |

Postfix write directly to the file system. |
