Yes, my setup is like this:

  passdb passwd-file {
    args = /var/mail/vhosts/vermeer.tv/shadow
  }

  userdb static {
    args = uid=1002 gid=1002 home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/homes/%n/
mail=maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n/
  }

The required data is there: The shadow-file contains a list of valid
usernames. It would be nice to have something like an extra option for
userdb static to tell it to have a look in this list and see if a user
exists. Maybe a 'userlist = /var/mail/vhosts/vermeer.tv/shadow' entry or
something like that. Running a database just for this purpose seems to
be a bit too much...

Thanks!
