[Dovecot] mixture of virtual and plain users
Hi,
I have a mail server (postfix/dovecot) running so far with normal local /etc/passwd users for domain example.com.
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb pam { } userdb passwd { }
Is it possible to add virtual domains/users to my setup without changing example.com to a virtual domain?
I can do the postfix part with http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox
but I'm not sure if I can mix dovecot (IMAP and maybe smtp auth) for both local and virtual users. Any hint would be appreciated.
best regards,
Giannis

You can use multiple user/authentication databases: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases

The trapper recommends today: deadbeef.1014617@localdomain.org

I'm also wondering if this would work with namespaces
I have a private namespace for user's inbox kai a public namespace for public folders.
Would these be visible to the virtual users as well?
