Hi Dave,

to begin with the end, the answer is 'yes', you'll be able to retain the 
"nothing touches the spools except Dovecot" funtionality. For the amavis 
part, Modoboa is using the provided SQL schema with no modification. The 
only modifications you'll have to make will be concern the domains and 
mailboxes part. Modoboa is using its own schema to store those informations.

Does it answer you question?

Antoine.
