Hello all, OK, I would really appreciate your help on this. I managed to do a pretty straight-forward and flawless migration on dovecot from one domain to another.

Hello people, After a lot of wading through the dovecot documentation (which btw, is excellent !, everything lies under "dovecot/doc/wiki"), I managed to authenticate a couple of accounts. For starters, I want dovecot to work as an imap/imaps box and nothing else. So , I went ahead and created a "passwd" file with two users. One user being my name (spyros) and plaintext

Hello list, OK, I just registered with the list, so please be tolerant :-) I've been using another MTA for about, oh, I'd say nine years now. Due to reasons beyond me (mainly my clients demanding more for their buck / things like webmail etc.), I was forced to start searching for (always) open source alternatives.
