Fwd: lmtp and virtual users

[David Wells - Alfavinil S.A.]

Is there anywhere an example of how this would be setup? I understand
the use of a service account which I already setup but I can't figure
out how to use this service account to retrieve information and
authenticate users.

Thanks!
Best regards,
David Wells.
