Hi, i am new to dovecot and i don't know what i can do with the "auth_executable" setting in the "dovecot.conf" file. Can i invoke an external program for authentification? If yes, is there a description what this program/script has to do? Thanks Helmut

...ts to a imapserver if the real mailhost of this user is different than the one that is connected so session is forwarded to real mailhost. Normally we can do that with courirer imap using auth_imap binary that comes with qmail-ldap which handles session forwarding. I have done this but got error auth_executable = /var/qmail/bin/auth_imap . Obviously it won't work. But I am not sure where to put /var/qmail/bin/auth_imap http://www.qmail-ldap.info/dovecot.php and http://www.qmail-ldap.info/imap_courier.php page shows a bit information about where to put it. -- Best regards, Omer...

Hi all, I have been trying to get this to work a couple of ways, please take a look at the links below.http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/EximAndDovecotSASLhttp://rafb.net/p/ipHKjv10.htmlIt rejects every time but if I uncomment;auth_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-auth then thunderbird will ask me for a password but does not agree with me on it.I have dovecot set up to use the unix usernames and passwordsThanks,Andrew
