I wonder if it is safe (and wise) to have two passw-user databases for the same one user. I'm thinking, mail to me via pam mail to me@this.domain via ldap
the first passdb wins. No problem.
whole Maildir would be essentially the same one storage target, I see permissions have to be mangled, available to write for both vmail and actual uid.
again, the first userdb wins. Your users can auth agains pam, but the data may come from LDAP or a static userdb. If you auth agains PAM successfully, does _not_ mean that you automatically use system users or Dovecot changes uids or something. All such information come from the userdb. If both users match the same userdb entry, they appear the same for Dovecot.
To make it more clear:
you can have
passdb { driver = pam } passdb { driver = ldap ... }
userdb { driver = ldap .... }
you do not need no userdb { driver = passwd }, unless you require user data from this source. Or use userdb { driver = static } instead the LDAP one, because you do not use LDAP attributes anyway. OK, I see, can a querying pam backed be custom? eg. how does one looks up me@some.thing ? many thanks Steffen for all your help.
