similar to: Dovecot 1.x and 2.x on the same machine ?

Thanks for

Hi, I need to run two Dovecot instances with totally different authentication configs: first - passwordless, based on client SSL certificate; and second - regular password based (LDAP, passwd etc.).

Then we'd have multiple servers for clients to use IMAP or POP3. This is more or less how the

Situation: one front-facing server running Dovecot as IMAP/POP3/ ManageSieve proxy, a mixture of IMAP servers (Dovecot, Exchange, ...) in the back-end. Dovecot's passdb does lookups against MySQL which contains a simple user/host mapping, the actual authentication happens on the back-end IMAP servers. The configuration is more or less as described here:

I want to know if there is any virtual server functionality in Dovecot? I would like to have two separate configurations, that access the same email, running in the same Dovecot instance.

How would I go about setting up these virtual
