I would like to ask you, which dovecot service configuration parameters should
I look at, for declaration of what I have seen on the net named “vmail”.
My immediate goal is to declare a dedicated inbox for DMARC reports and a bunch
of aliases for 'marek' mail account, stored separately from the system's
'marek' account.
Way back when I first started on the journey of email self-hosting, I
found the ArchWiki[0] to have enough information to get me started.
After doing that, do try to understand why it does what it does, because
there is quite a bit of complexity in there.
But in short:
* you create a local user [yes, usually "vmail"] who gets everything
and stores it according to who it's supposed to be for
* the question of "who is it for" is usually answered by entries in a
database or map file
* both postfix and dovecot need to know about and use the database or
map file
Hope that helps,
Thorondir
