dovecot - Jul 2007 - Differences in deliver and IMAP

Hi

I've now got Dovecot 1.0.1 authenticating with PostgreSQL for the IMAP 
service, but deliver doesn't seem to work the same.

I'm using the "prefetch" passdb, but deliver doesn't seem to
recognise it.

Here's the log for a deliver attempt:

dovecot: Jul 01 16:51:35 Info: auth(default): master in: USER    1   
 andy.shellam at mailnetwork.co.uk    service=deliver
dovecot: Jul 01 16:51:35 Error: auth(default): 
prefetch(andy.shellam at mailnetwork.co.uk): passdb didn't return userdb 
entries
dovecot: Jul 01 16:51:35 Info: auth(default): master out: NOTFOUND    1

And here's the log for an IMAP login attempt straight after:

dovecot: Jul 01 16:51:46 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH    1   
 PLAIN    service=IMAP    lip=84.45.66.158    rip=82.165.38.62

This works if I use separate userdb and passdb queries.  Does deliver 
not support the prefetch authentication method?

Thanks,

Andy.

deliver does not support prefetch. See bottom of page:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP

I have three stanzas in my dovecot.conf


  # other hosts
  passdb ldap {
    args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-domains.conf
  }

  userdb prefetch {
  }

  # LDA requires the userdb stanzas

  # use passdb
  userdb ldap {
    args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-domains.conf
  }
