Can you elaborate on that? I would argue exactly the oposite. Having 
your virtual users in a 
3rd party environment, adds only security exploits of that 3rd party 
environment. 

I guess most run dovecot with mysql? So how many issues have been found 
in mysql compared to linux 
os user accounts. Linux is designed as multi user environment and most 
other 3rd party software not. 

Most secure IS running with linux user accounts, you can even enhance 
this security with selinux. 
How are you ever going to realize this in something like mysql? If 
something goes wrong there everything
under the mysql uid is accessible. Thus all accounts.
