=== Installing and Configuring the Local Delivery Agent (LDA ) ===
Postfix is capable of performing the function of an LDA , but it has its LDA capabilities are limited configurability, and thus postfix is generally not used for that purpose. Currently , the most popular LDA is ''LMTP '', but we'll use dovecot-lda because will be installing, configuring and using an LDA called Dovecot since it's is also pretty popular and we'll will later be setting up Dovecot as an IMAP server. Using the two as a pair both Postfix and Dovecot will actually increase the performance of your our IMAP server.
'''Perform the following steps:''' #Edit your /etc/postfix/main.cf file and scroll down to (or search for) '''mailbox_command'''. Add the following line:
<pre>mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT"</pre>
