Okay, bear with me now. I assume I should be using a file in this format:

user:{plain}pass:1000:1000::/home/user::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir
user2:{plain}pass2:1001:1001::/home/user2

Since all of the mail is going to be delivered as I showed above, how do I
configure the line?

user:{PLAIN}secret:1002:1002:::::userdb_mail=maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%d/%u

The virtual user "vmail" is 1002:1002 on my system.
