Hi, the wiki doesn't explain the file format for passwd-file. I want to do a small set of virtual users using flat files. I have my postfix "vmailbox" generated, and working as expected for delivery. I've configured dovecot, put passwd-file for the auth_passdb, and specified a file name. By "passwd like" what is allowed? Where is it document. How unlike passwd can it be? Must I read the source code? Simon

The problem turned out to be that I hadn't included the "@default-realm" in the username part of the passwd-file. Which I found by enabling "auth-verbose". username at default-realm:{PLAIN}plainpassword Which is sensible as we can then use the same scheme for other domains if we ever need to.
