That looks ok, but:

You're using passwd-file only as passdb. That means it uses only the  
username and password field of the file. You'll need to use it as a  
userdb also.

But can the users read their mail anyway? You said that they can't get  
new mails. Are you using Dovecot's deliver as MDA?
