dovecot - Jul 2004 - pop3 usernames

Hello,

I would like to allow users to login as user at domain.tld instead of 
providing their login name; I'm coming from the sendmail/qpopper land 
and am trying to migrate to postfix/maildir/dovecot one step at a time 
and I've been able to find a way to do most of what I want except for 
the above requirement.

Do I have to use a SQL server or is there any way to easilly map an 
email address to a mailbox or even a maildir?

Thank you.

It depends on how you want the passwords to be stored. passwd-file with 
"user at host:password" entries might be what you want. userdb would
be
either the same passwd-file or "static" with home dir given in the 
template. LDAP would work too. Or pretty much anything really, just 
think all of "user at domain.tld" as normal login name.
