I was actually thinking of trying to write a general Scheme module for a quick,
minimal setup of email on Guix, but right now my system configuration is an
ugly monolith.
My roadmap looks like this:
1. Abstract email away from the system.
2. Build a personal PGP infrastructure.
3. Use the above to serve Git repositories.
4. Use the above to modularize my Guix configurations; prepare to use Linux
From Scratch books to build my personal distribution of Guix
5. Learn how to use Emacs tools to automate publishing of web content <= This
is where I could try writing some text about serving email from Guix.
Would you like a copy of my current system configuration for reference?

I started writing a refusing answer, but did one more search for virtual_users
and found that Dovecot docs do include a “Simple Virtual User Installation.” I
will try following that. It is not as self-containing solution as I hoped, but
I need to get things done before optimizing them.
