I don't have a clue what 'ponited' means but if you need a set of instructions to follow to set it up, how are you going to fix it when there's a problem? Dovecot works nicely with virtual users (no unix logins) with simple user/password databases (flat-file, Berkeley db, etc).

Flat files are fast and reliable [...] To add to Craig's comment from the mail you quoted, they're also a lot simpler.
