[Dovecot] setting up both system password users AND virtual users

Hi,

I want to pick up this discussion. I am trying to achieve the same, but I am using Maildir instead.

Here's the (relevent part of the) config file as configured by the recent suggestion:

# We're using Maildir format mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

# Authentication configuration: auth_verbose = yes

auth default { mechanisms = plain

userdb passwd { }

userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/daten/mailusers/%u }

passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd } }

But when I try to login in to a system's user mailbox, it'll be rejected as unknown in my Dovecot's passwd file.

I am converting from courier-imap, so I am kind of new to Dovecot.
