I would like all emails to the "foobar" subdomain to end up in their
own mailbox and all emails to the "barbaz" subdomain to go to their own
mailbox.
Your question might be more suited to the postfix mailing list. Dovecot
doesn't receive mail from the internet, which i believe you understand
as you said "have postfix accepting the emails before passing them to
Dovecot".
On the postfix side, one option would be using one mailbox and one
catchall for each subdomain.
Setup a user: [email protected]
Setup an alias: @foobar.mydomain.com -> [email protected]
Setup a user: [email protected]
Setup an alias: @barbaz.mydomain.com -> [email protected]
On the dovecot side, you can setup each person with their own login user
and all of those users access the same IMAP inbox. Or you could just
give everyone the password to the same one mailbox
[email protected].
Not sure "dovecot creating users" is the right way to think about it.
Dovecot simply looks for IMAP files where its told to look. In dovecot
config you setup flat files or databases that tell dovecot if someone
logs in with this user:pass then look in this /server/path for emails.
Other than that config, which you could point to a different
/server/path changing their inbox, there are no "accounts".
