Re: [Dovecot] how to separate virtual delivery and authentication?

IMHO, exactly that works with the maildrop LDAP attribute. You enumerate all mail addresses into maildrop. Use maildrop in userdb filter only. If you like to use "uid" on command line of doveadm, you need to add the uid to maildrop as well, otherwise have the passdb return another username, e.g. the "mail" LDAP attribute to convert the uid into mail adress.

This is also a workaround, adding uid to maildrop. Think at, for example, using Active Directory with dovecot ( I do not recommend that :) ) I wonder if I could use only passdb filter for authentication (and let userdb for delivery) , this could be far better.But I think this is a design issue.
