Sticking to the Flatfile recipe on the Wiki, Postfix would query the
Auth Backend of Dovecot. The actual user records would sit on the
Dovecot side, where Postfix would only worry about valid domains etc.

Fancy stuff like Aliasing would be better done on the Postfix side in
this scenario although it would also be possible to have bogus User
records in Dovecot to address that.
