I'm considering using maildrop in place of my local and virtual delivery agents in postfix.

1) Can maildrop access user credentials from my mysql database and/or /etc/passwd, as I currently have courier-imap doing?

Ok, I've been reading docs, and now know that it can access a mysql database. So I guess my question now is: if it can't find the user there, will it look for it in the /etc/password file afterwards? Or the other way around? It has to look in both, because my virtual users are in the database and my local users are in /etc/passwd.

2) I know that for local users, who have actual accounts on the system, I can put a .maildroprc (I think that's it) file in their home directory to handle delivery of mail to various folders. Is there anyway to achieve this for my virtual users, who do not have accounts?

Ok, I now know the name of the file is actually ".mailfilter". I also know that my virtual users will need a homedir specified for them in my database. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means maildrop *will* use that file for virtual users, yes?
