Timo, if we use the dovecot LDA, we do need to create a user "vmail" , with no login priveleges etc?
my  /home/vmail/ directories are owned by postfix. do i then need to make vmail a member of the group?

Or will it be easier to make /home/vmail to be owned by user vmail? in this scenario, we need not worry about postfix access bcos its dovecot's LDA that is writing and reading from /home/vmail?
