For my curiosity: Have you considered using "LDAP centric" configuration?
[ of both Sendmail (MTA) and Dovecot (IMAP) ]

IMHO it may be an overkill for small sites but it helps to build and
maintain multi server (heterogeneous) e-mail solution.

this requires PAM. which can be, well, problematic. pam_ldap for Linux
is quite fragile, IMHO, and excludes almost everything to debug
problems.

As I understand
1) pam_ldap would be required for "one mailbox for one OS account"
configuration
2) it would not be required for mailboxes/email addresses without
per mailbox OS account
