my userdb file contains:
hans myplaintext-password-here

the goal still is the most simple solid install using virutal users only
- opensuse 11.2 - postfix smtp - dovecot POP3 only
the most important goal is to have at least ONE user - me (hans) with
about half dozen aliases such as abuse@ info@ webmaster@ and a few other
mail alias
the next step could be - but no absolute requirement - to have a FEW
(max a dozen) other virtual mail users
any tip or help welcome
greetings
