I'm using an alternate password/shadow combo to authenticate IMAP users
and I can't seen to get it working...
I'm using:
passdb shadow {
args = /etc/dovecot/shadow
}
Can somebody please give me some hints on how to get this to work....
Thanks
JB

Use 'passdb passwd-file' instead. Regards, Thorsten -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
