Hi List, I am trying to set up dovecot on my mail server and am having some difficulties? I want to use virtual mailboxes and so have set up a passwd-file for userdb and passdb and created entries for a user but they don?t seem to be working? I have included the relevant lines from all three files below? Dovecot.conf? auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/passwd users file? HYPERLINK "mailto:phil at topazaccommodation.co.uk::503:503::/var/mail/vhosts/topazaccomm odation.co.uk:/bin/false"phil at topazaccommodation.co.uk::503:503::/var/mail/v hosts/topazaccommodation.co.uk:/bin/false:: passwd file? phil at topazaccommocation.co.uk:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 As far as I know the password is the word ?test? encrypted with MD5 (is there anyway to have these as plain text?) Finally the entry from the log file? Aug 18 16:51:58 95304-web1 dovecot-auth: passwd-file(phil at topazaccommodation.co.uk): unknown user Any ideas?
