LDA
Now even though your machine's name is vm2.yoursenecaid.org - your postfix will also receive emails for yoursenecaid.org
=== LDA ===
Postfix is capable of performing the function of an LDA but it has limited configurability, and is generally not used for that purpose. Currently the most popular LDA is LMTP but we'll use dovecot-lda because it's also pretty popular and we'll later be setting up Dovecot as an IMAP server. Using the two as a pair will increase the performance of your IMAP server.
If you look - you'll see that dovecot-lda doesn't exist yet. Install the dovecot package - that will come with dovecot-lda.
Finally, edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf and set where you want your mail delivered: <pre>./conf.d/10-mail.conf:mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir</pre> Don't forget to restart your postfix service. dovecot-lda is just a program invoked by Postfix, it doesn't have an associated service.
