Dovecot 1.0.rc7 Postfix 2.4-20061006 FreeBSD 6.1 STABLE
I have dovecot up and running with postfix. I now want to switch over to a system using purely virtual users. I have gotten postfix configured to deliver the mail to virtual mailboxes correctly.
The problem I am having is with dovecot. After configuring the dovecot.conf file, dovecot will POP mail from the virtual mailboxes. However, that is only for users who are in the /etc/password file. I will have a large number of users who are truly virtual and therefore not be in that file.
I know I am dumb, but I do not know how to set up either a MySQL data base, or just a plain flat file with the required information. I tried Googling, but I cannot find the exact syntax to use.
Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction or give me a brief example of how to go about this.
Thanks!
