I've ben reading HOWTOs for qmail and courier-imap. The first one was:

This HOWTO recommends using maildrop to transfer mail from qmail to courier-imap. I was wondering why that is necessary. Wouldn't it be

A slight performance increase. A very small one. Also, if that's already done, adding mail filtering gets much easier, as an afterthought.

simpler to just have qmail deliver the mail directly to the virtual user's Maildir?

I also have a question about the following HOWTO:

http://www.sxpress.com/~henry/qmail-pop-imap-web-howto.htm

This HOWTO describes using qmail to directly deliver mail to real users, and how to use 'useradd' to add new users. What if I don't want to use actual unix accounts for my users (ie they are all virtual)?

Pick one: Courier-IMAP can read user information from LDAP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, GDBM/DB-based. For Qmail, that mailing list is down the hall.
