It isn't a bug of mysql or dovecot. It's the most simple problem: mysql
permissions :P In mysql 127.0.0.1 and localhost are differents things,
and if you copy the user (posta in my case), it doesn't copy the
password (and so it works without a password). And more: if you put
password, you have to flush privileges. Finally PEBKAC :|

I'm working on this problem, but at the moment it doesn't work. It
always connects only to second db. Another PEBKAC?
This is my configuration file, maybe there's something wrong.
