Oh? I had seen Dovecot in a couple of how-to's but found more that listed courier. (I used to run a homogeneous courier MTA system back in the day... was trying out postfix. Might like to try Dovecot for fun.
My system is a home development playground, where I am the only admin and user of the e-mail system. What I am doing is learning how a virtual multi domain system could work, and seeing what can be managed in MySQL as a lesson to myself in what use MySQL is over flat files in user home directories. So I am pretty flexible and can burn the whole thing down at will to try something different. Once I have something that seems stable, workable, and such, I'll build my own how-to on what I did and move on. :-D Thanks for the advice!
