#Move to your '''vm3''' machine.
#Dovecot is not installed when you installed your Virtual machines in previous labs.<br>Install the Dovecot application by issuing the following command:<br><source>yum install dovecot</source>
#Edit your '''/etc/postfix/main.cf ''' file and scroll down to (or search for) '''mailbox_command'''. Add the following line:<br><presource>mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT"</presource>
:NOTE: Do <u>'''not'''</u> replace any variables, those are set automatically by Postfix when it runs the LDA. If you are interested in learning more about the Dovecot application, you can read about dovecot-lda [http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix here] and [http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA here].

<ol><li value="5">Restart your postfix service.</li><li>While the emails are still stored only on VM3, they will now be easier for other machines/services to access.</li></ol>
