simple. I can nuke all Courier processes and still Exim delivers mail
to the users' Maildirs. This is just because they use the same (or at
least compatible) Maildir implementation. I seem to remember that
Cyrus, like your domain name, uses a weird one instead.

I might be missing something here, but both dovecot and courier do
not need to accept local delivery via either LMTP or command pipeline.
