No need to explain it anymore, i understand it now. I made a little  
change and (probably) final version is this:

passdb {
   driver = static
   args = nopassword
   skip = authenticated
}

I removed 'deny = yes' as, i believe, it's not needed and it was doing  
problems with LMTP proxing ('User doesn't exist' error message from  
backend LMTP). Thanks again.
