It's not. In the pho-postfix instructions, you first create one or more
virtual email accounts in postfixadmin before Maia setup occurs. Maia
then calls an existing account with a MySQL query as database user
'vscan,' which is common to Dovecot and Maia.

Also, the docs say something about the need to define new domains in
Maia (though not necessarily new users) separately from when they're set
up in postfixadmin. Email domains, users, and aliases should all exist
before we get to Maia setup.

Your CentOS setup may differ on a lot of details, but the key point is
that a virtual email account exists (one usable by postfix and dovecot2)
_before_ configuring Maia.
