1 = Mailbox Integration = 2 3 Use of the imip-agent software should not affect the solutions chosen to store 4 mail received by your mail system. However, the software does support direct 5 connections to mail storage solutions employing the LMTP protocol. See the 6 [[../MailIntegration/LMTP|LMTP guide]] for more information. 7 8 It can, however, be useful to see how delivery to various kinds of mailboxes 9 and mail storage is done, in case you have not already decided on a particular 10 solution. 11 12 == Cyrus == 13 14 [[http://www.cyrusimap.org/|Cyrus]] is a mail storage system that exposes 15 mailboxes using the [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501|IMAP]] protocol. 16 17 == Dovecot == 18 19 [[http://dovecot.org/|Dovecot]] is a mail server that supports IMAP and 20 [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1939|POP3]]. It can be configured to serve 21 mail stored in traditional mailbox formats. 22 23 The Dovecot documentation provides guides for integrating Dovecot with 24 [[http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LMTP/Exim|Exim]] and with 25 [[http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP|Postfix]]. 26 27 Example configuration files for Exim and Dovecot are distributed in 28 `conf/exim/lmtp`: 29 30 {{{#!table 31 '''File''' || '''Purpose''' 32 == 33 `30_exim4-config_dovecot_lmtp` 34 || Delivers messages to Dovecot via LMTP 35 == 36 `890_exim4-config_dovecot_lmtp_local` 37 || Routes messages for local system users to Dovecot 38 }}} 39 40 On Debian systems, the former file would be copied into the 41 `/etc/exim4/conf.d/transport` directory, whereas the latter would be 42 copied into the `/etc/exim4/conf.d/router` directory. The latter file is 43 appropriate only if system user identities are to be employed for mail.
