How exactly does one configure maildrop to know the mappings specified in the postfix virtual_mailbox_maps file? I followed the postfix+maildrop howto:

http://www.postfix.org/MAILDROP_README.html

Don't! Don't configure virtual maidirs in Postfix. Have Postfix hand off to maildrop in master.cf:

maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -w 80 -d ${user} ${sender} ${recipient} ${extension} ${user}

Keep

maildrop_destination_recipient_limit = 1 maildrop_destination_concurrency_limit = 1

in main.cf

Instead of vmail use your own global, virtual user. ...

Alright, how about another approach that was suggested to me elsewhere (but sadly, without details). There is a userdb in /etc/dovecot/userdb. Is there a way to make maildrop understand that file somehow?

After all, that configuration even seems to be referred to in the Postfix+maildrop howto: http://www.postfix.org/MAILDROP_README.html I just don't understand what "match key for maildrop userdb lookup" means.

Would that involve setting up courier-auth-userdb? Then configuring that to parse the /etc/dovecot/userdb file? Then configuring maildrop to use courier-authlib-userdb? I can't find any useful tutorial through the mighty Google. Anyone have a pointer? Or is this also not a good way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance, Alex
