The problem with passwd(like) files is that they are almost never in the correct format to fit both daemons. The easiest way to use a database.
I don't yet see using a database easier than flatfiles. I understand that the one-instance data is done well in a database.
But also I found this page at the Dovecot wiki, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/VirtualUserFlatFilesPostfix. I keep rereading it and I think that it tells me that I can do this with flatfiles only.
I think its this section, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/VirtualUserFlatFilesPostfix#Master_Configurat..., that tells how to share data with Postfix. Except there's also LMTP which I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
For only 3 domains and 30 users its silly to have to run a mysql database. But who knows yet if I an reading this right, and if sharing flatfiles are possible? Its confusing to read and understand.
