Many thanks for helping me solving my problems After a few conf tweakings, dovecot works so well that I may put it on prod tomorrow.

Many thanks to Timo!!!

A few questions though:

I had to raise the number of auth_process to 10 to avoid tons of messages "can't connect to socket 'default' is that ok?

After tweaking my postgresql database to authenticate virtual users I notices that SQL userdb MUST have home AND mbox file.

Not wanting virtual users to have anything but INBOX, I've set home dir in query to /tmp/%u. is that ok too?

Best regards to all and many thanks again.
