I'm new to dovecot and it's configurations. Reading the config file, I have a question regarding having multiple auth= lines in there. Is this some sort of a pass-through or fail-through system of authentications like where if a user is not authenticated using 'pam', then the second method is tried (which might be sql or plain passwd-txt) ? Am I assuming the right thing here ? I have system-users, but am planning to migrate the majority of those users to a virtual_mailbox system (using postfix) where they have no more system-users . I just want to be sure this will work. If anybody has setup a system with postfix and virtual mailboxes in combination with dovecot, and wants to swap stories and setups, I'd be grateful :) /Stephan -- Stephan van Beerschoten [KeyID: 0x08F12864] "If you are adminstering UNIX systems and don't master tools such as make, shell, and perl, then you are working too hard." -- Wietse Venema.

In CVS yes, in 0.99.10.x no. They're a bit useless in .10.> I have system-users, but am planning to migrate the majority of those > users to a virtual_mailbox system (using postfix) where they have no > more system-users . I just want to be sure this will work.Alternative would be to list system users as well in virtual users list.> If anybody has setup a system with postfix and virtual mailboxes in > combination with dovecot, and wants to swap stories and setups, I'd be > grateful :)There's HOWTO in wiki.dovecot.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
