I have read the userdb section of the INSTALL file, and have a question about how to use it on my server, where the configuration isn't quite what the documentation assumes.

I am using postfix. I have three virtual domains. At the moment, because I'm learning, there is one mail account per domain. The maildirs for these are:

/var/spool/vmail/legiongalileo.com/shaun/
/var/spool/vmail/prideguidenj.org/shaun/
/var/spool/vmail/tales-of-the-wanderer.com/shaun/

Postfix correctly delivers mail to each of these accounts. Please note that my use of "vmail" above has nothing to do with courier-imap - it just happened to be the name I chose when setting up postfix. Each of these accounts has their own uid & gid, as known by postfix, because I MAY someday create a login account for them, but there is no password entry for any of them at present. Their only existance is the above directories, i.e., no home directories.

So, I'm trying to figure out how to use userdb in this situation, where there is no vmail account and each of the mail accounts has a unique uid/gid.

The uid/gid issue seems easy, just use the appropriate ones per account. I also will just set mail= to one of the above directories. But what do I set home= to? There also seems no reason for me to run pw2userdb either.
