dovecot - Aug 2009 - setting up both system password users AND virtual users

Hi,

I want to pick up this discussion.
I am trying to achieve the same, but I am using Maildir instead.

Here's the (relevent part of the) config file as configured by the recent
suggestion:

# We're using Maildir format
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

# Authentication configuration:
auth_verbose = yes

auth default {
  mechanisms = plain

  userdb passwd {
  }

  userdb static {
    args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/daten/mailusers/%u
  }

  passdb passwd-file {
    args = /etc/dovecot/passwd
  }
}

But when I try to login in to a system's user mailbox, it'll be rejected
as
unknown in my Dovecot's passwd file.


I am converting from courier-imap, so I am kind of new to Dovecot.

Right, because the only passdb is for virtual users. You need also
passdb pam.
