2. What is the benefit of using Dovecot's SASL as compared to

there better performance?
Probably not, but I've always hated configuring Cyrus SASL. It's
not as
flexible and the error and debug messages are worse.
3. Quota Management ( Creating, enforcing, notifying ) - is it
done thru
dovecot or postfix or are both needed?
Depends on if you use Dovecot LDA. If not, then both.
Timo, if we use the dovecot LDA, we do need to create a user
"vmail" , with no login priveleges etc?
No.
my /home/vmail/ directories are owned by postfix. do i then need to
make vmail a member of the group?
You could just execute Dovecot LDA using postfix user.
Or will it be easier to make /home/vmail to be owned by user vmail?
in this scenario, we need not worry about postfix access bcos its
dovecot's LDA that is writing and reading from /home/vmail?
I'd recommend using vmail user in any case. Dovecot (LDA or IMAP or
POP3) really doesn't need access to Postfix's private files.
