Yes, you can run Lamson without anything else. I've done it, but it's
really not very fast for the bulk work of delivering and receiving, so
what I do is put it behind a Postfix server. I then configure the
Postfix to take all mail and put it in a Maildir. Then I can run Lamson
so it just reads out of the Maildir.
