I guess this would be a common case, I am hoping for some final clarification. a few Linux boxes share ldap (multi-master) backend that PAM/SSSD uses to authenticated users, and these LDAPs are also is used by Samba, users start @ uid 1000. Boxes are in the same both DNS and Samba domains.
Do I treat these users as system or virtual users from postfix/dovecot

If it can be a matter of choice then which is better/best?
I would make them virtual users. This way you can abstract and scalethings up. Also your normal users then would not need to have access to your mail servers; they only access the services.
many thanks. it can be a tricky for beginner to define those, in old days when one said system users thought of OS dedicated accounts for daemons/services etc. In this team of postfix+dovecot, which one decides whether user is canonical/system or virtual?
