Timo, if we use the dovecot LDA, we do need to create a user

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.
Therefore, ( copied from dovecot wiki, http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix
)
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
-f ${sender} -d ${recipient}
I could change the user=vmail:vmail to postfix:postfix ?
I just heard that Postfix doesn't allow you to do that (as you would
have noticed too). So just use vmail.
