I forgot the answer for this: in
http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile, we have the passwd file
defined as
user:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):extra_fields
What should the uid and gid be associated with? In my setup I told
postfix to use Dovecot LDA's deliver, which then is saving files as
uid:gid of 1500:1500. How would that affect the uid:gid used in the
passwd file? From what I read in the dovecot's wiki, you want them *not*
to be anything that has the rights to access the emails. So, does that
mean any value for them will do?
