Re: [Dovecot] To query two SQL tables for user verification over LMTP, should I use (a) two separate lookups? or (b) just one lookup with a boolean query?

And then for users, you just alias them to themselfs. Then everything
exists in the alias table, and postfix knows all valid users, cause
they all exist in the alias table.

I just think of it as, user accounts, and email addresses that map to
the user accounts.

So you're not using LMTP authentication to verify that Postfix is trying to deliver to a valid user? I though that's what it was for.

In your setup, 'who' does Postfix try to deliver to, then? The 'real' user, after figuring out and remapping any aliases to it? Or to the alias, and then Dovecot does the remapping?
