Virtual mailboxes have their place, of course, but they're overused, especially at small sites. I suppose this might be in part because most HOWTOs are for virtual.
That's just plain silly. Virtual users are extremely simple to setup, no need for MySQL unless you have a bunch.
That said, there is nothing wrong with using system users, if those users also have/need shell access, but if they don't virtual users is just as easy/legitimate as system users with no shell access.
It's more a matter of the individuals skill level.
So exactly what does this say about the skill level of people who have implemented, and continue to implement, both solutions, Charles?
That they are most likely capable of determining for themselves if/when to use system user and when to use virtual users?
I don't get the question...
Apparently you did get the question because you answered it correctly. However, your answer contradicts your "skill level" assertion above. Which drives my point home.
