[Dovecot] Postfix/Dovecot/lmtp with virtual and local users

[David Obando]

Hi,

thanks for the answer.
Do I understand you right that currently it's not possible to manage
both system users and virtual users in a dovecot 2 and lmtp setup?

You were talking about "adding a generic passdb/userdb {
auth_username_format } setting". Are there any plans to do so?

What are your recommendations about migrating from dovecot 1.2.15 to
dovecot 2 regarding system and virtual users? Should I use LDA instead
of LMTP then?


Thank you very much,
David
