The map part stuck me at this time. Can i found somewhere a list of
field should/can be map ? I think i’m ok with postfix conf if i
understand well i can delegate pretty all stuff to dovecot/ldap.


An other question is :

For all vitual stuff i always use a new user (system) with a custom
home, all stuff i read are not clear for me about this point. There is
some diagram with technical stuff about dovecot ?


Thx
