Answer is simply yes. Just add relevant virtual mailbox settings to main.cf. Unless it is overly complex, my migration plan would be enable "soft_bounce", add relevant settings, test, remove "soft_bounce" when happy. But I have a test server as well to work it all out on first! You can even use Dovecot LDA for local delivery of virtual users if it makes the configuration simpler. http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix You can have distinct delivery for virtual mailboxes and "local" mailboxes. virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox virtual_mailbox_domains = pop.mail.zynet.net virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/mail virtual_minimum_uid = 100 virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 If it were me, I'd be tempted to replace local users with virtual users for all customer emails. You can probably do that and preserve all the settings the end user needs. As unless there is a need for a system account I prefer to have all in a database, not creating some little understood weakness in my system authentication.
