[HowTo] Replace courier with dovecot

[jmeyerdo]

Hello!

I found this howto yesterday and read the howto and the forum-thread in detail. Great concept!

If I understand the config-files correctly dovecot is using the mysql-records for emails directly?
But postfix is still using the alias-configurationfiles, isn't it?

I would like to see a full database-driven mailhandling in the future.
It should be no major problem to change the postfix-configuration to use mysql for mail-requests.

What is your opinion about that:
+ easier generation of postboxes/aliases
+ less errors (?)
+ ???
- postfix-mysql must be compiled on several distros
- ???

Kind regards,

Jens
