dovecot - Apr 2015 - Auth-worker, Unknown User

Hi list,

I'm running Debian Jessie (8). I have Postfix and Dovecot working
successfully. I attempted to setup LMTP in order to enable sieve
support, but it seems I was not successful. Dovecot version 2.2.13.

Postfix accepts an incoming test mail I sent, then tries to deliver it
to Dovecot via LMTP:

dovecot: lmtp(13493): Connect from local
dovecot: auth-worker(13495): pam(srg at example.com): unknown user
dovecot: lmtp(13493): Disconnect from local: Successful quit

Postfix then bounces my mail with a "550 User doesn't exist." It
seems
that Dovecot is trying to lookup my whole address (srg at example.com) in
PAM instead of just the username ("srg"), which does exist. What can I
do to avoid this?

I have searched the internet about this and found a few references to
"args = %s" and "args = username_format=%n" for passdb
and/or userdb,
but I have tried both (restarting Dovecot) to no avail.

Thank you!

Since you only have local (system) users, you should be able to solve
the problem by setting:

	auth_username_format = %Ln

in your /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

That was the solution! Thank you very much, Pascal!
