I guess this would be a common case, I am hoping for some final

a few Linux boxes share ldap (multi-master) backend that PAM/SSSD uses to
authenticated users, and these LDAPs are also is used by Samba, users start
@ uid 1000.
Boxes are in the same both DNS and Samba domains.

Do I treat these users as system or virtual users from postfix/dovecot
perspective?
If it can be a matter of choice then which is better/best?

       I would make them virtual users. This way you can abstract and scale
things up. Also your normal users then would not need to have access to
your mail servers; they only access the services.

many thanks.
it can be a tricky for beginner to define those, in old days when one said system users thought of OS dedicated accounts for daemons/services etc. In this team of postfix+dovecot, which one decides whether user is canonical/system or virtual?
