dovecot - Jul 2007 - Virtual servers

Hello

I'm migrating from Courier to Dovecot (1.0.rc15) on Debian. I am trying
to set up virtual servers based on the principal in this thread:
    http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-October/017165.html
which suggests something like this to support multiple certificates:

    server foo {
      listen = 1.2.3.4
      ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/foo.cer
    }

    server bar {
      listen = 1.2.3.5
      ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/bar.cer
    }

My virtual configs look like this:

    server mail.domain1.org {
      listen = 1.2.3.4
      protocols = pop3 pop3s imap imaps
      ssl_cert_file = /etc/mail/hosts/domain1.org/ssl.crt
      ssl_key_file = /etc/mail/hosts/domain1.org/ssl.key
      auth default {
        mechanisms = plain
        passdb passwd-file {
          args = /etc/mail/hosts/domain1.org/userdb
        }
        userdb passwd-file {
          args = /etc/mail/hosts/domain1.org/userdb
        }
      }
    }

    server mail.domain2.org {
      listen = 1.2.3.5
      protocols = imap imaps
      ssl_cert_file = /etc/mail/hosts/domain2.org/ssl.crt
      ssl_key_file = /etc/mail/hosts/domain2.org/ssl.key
      auth default {
        mechanisms = plain
        passdb passwd-file {
          args = /etc/mail/hosts/domain2.org/userdb
        }
        userdb passwd-file {
          args = /etc/mail/hosts/domain2.org/userdb
        }
      }
    }

but I can't get ithis to work. Dovecot starts but authorisation
fails. Is this kind of setup possible - is it possible to configure
different passwd-files for connections on different IPs, or am I going
to have to run separate instances of Dovecot for each virtual host?

Thanks

There have been several fixes since 1.0rc15 which deals with multiple 
dovecots, auth socket accidental stomping, auth caches and things like 
that. I would suggest you upgrade to the latest 1.0.1 first and see if 
that has any impact on your problem.
