If you want #1, it seems that you're not really looking to virtualize
all emails on the system, but rather have fall-through
virtualization. I don't know if that's possible or not. I *do* know,
because I have it set up this way, that's it possible to virtualize
everything, and then, in your database, specifically say what needs
to get delivered to the local box. I needed to do that for mailman
lists.
Anyway, for postfix, look into the virtual_* config options. For
dovecot, I'm still running 1.0beta8, which is a few versions behind,
so I don't know what to look for these days. FWIW, I use passdb sql
and userdb static.

Hi folks,
I've poked through the archives and google and have not seen how do
do this.
Is it possible to virtualize ALL emails on a system? That is, I want
delivery only to e.g. /var/mail/vmail/domain.tld/user/Maildir/, and
for
authentication & userdb to:
1) Try /etc/passwd, and if someone is there, automatically append the
"default" domain, otherwise,
2) Authenticate off a mysql db or similar.
Is this kind of "fallthrough" user lookup and auth. possible with
dovecot? I
assume the delivery can probably be done by just telling postfix to
use
dovecot as the local delivery agent.
Thanks for your help!
