And all your mails (no matter which address) end-up in the mailbox of one of the two system user accounts, right? With virtual users in the described (IMAP) context I meant: several maildir mailboxes of (real virtual) users (IMAP authenticated by mail address as username), but all handled by one underlying system user. E.g you have a IMAP maildir folder layout with something like this: /var/vmail/domain1/user1/ /var/vmail/domain1/user2/ /var/vmail/domain2/user1/ ... and all these folders are owned by a single uid/gid (vmail). Think for example of about some hundred domains, with about 10-50 (real) user accounts per domain. Then you do do not want to create x-thousand system users, anymore.
