Hi Brian,

The answer to that specific question is an absolute no.  Your remailer
doesn't require dovecot.  Postfix, probably in combination with
Procmail, provides everything you need to operate a remailer.

You can also handle admin mail, either by forwarding it to your normal
email account, or by installing a local Mail Agent, like Mutt.

The only scenario where a remailer requires dovecot (for pop or imap) is
when the remailer is remote to its mail exchanger.
