we are currently using vm-pop3d to implement virtual domains. But due to some locking problem in vm-pop3d, we want to test the possibility to change to dovecot. Currently, in vm-pop3d, the passwd file is located in /etc/virtual/domain1.com/passwd /etc/virtual/domain2.com/passwd
passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/virtual/%d/passwd }
This requires Dovecot 1.0.alpha2 or later.
and the passwd format is: user: md5 encrpted password
In MD5crypt format? ie. $1$something? Then it should work directly.
and the email is store in /var/spool/virtual/domain1.com/user /var/spool/virtual/domain2.com/user
As mboxes? For IMAP you'll need also some directory where non-INBOXes are stored, and with POP3 Dovecot also wants a directory where it can store index files.
If you don't want either, you could do something like:
default_mail_env = mbox:/tmp:INBOX=/var/spool/virtual/%d/%u:INDEX=MEMORY
