Postfix Virtual Users

To any postfix users out there:
I've heard a few things about Postfix and Virtual users / Virtual domains, but have been having a
hard time finding any solid information on it.
Basically, here is my goal:
I want to be able to add domains, and have each of those domains get their own namespace (so
bob at domain1.com doesn't conflict with bob at domain2.com, etc...). I also want these users to not be
actual users on the system (not listed in /etc/passwd), but to be able to pull their email via pop
/ imap only.
I know there would need to be some way to authenticate the users via pop/imap besides /etc/passwd
(mySQL maybe?).
Where would the virtual user's incoming email be stored, since there wouldn't be home directories
for Maildir/ to go in?
Is this type of configuration even possible? I'm using RedHat 7.2, with Postfix and courier-imap.
Any help would be much appreciated!
