This

As I understand my config, Postfix is my LDA. I use Dovecot for
POP/IMAP. I thought I needed to have Postfix as the owner of the
mailboxes since it is LDA. If I change to a *different* (purpose
created?) user, how do I allow Postfix to then deliver the mail? Is
using Postfix as the LDA a no-no also?

Sorry of my questions seem uneducated. This is the first time I've built
something like this. I was hoping I was done but it seems there is more
cliff to scale in my learning.
