output of "dovecot -n" would be in general a good start

* how looks your user database
* if you don't use domain as part of the username what do you do
  in case you get a second domain and names collide
* these days the full qualified mail address as username is common
  and in caes of virtual users you can feed all from the same
  source instead hanlde the localpart special for login-names
