I pasted that block at the end of dovecot.conf, restarted, and got the
following in syslog:
Oct 22 08:24:32 tgvprod dovecot[7290]: doveconf: Fatal: Error in
configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 106: Expecting '{'
Oct 22 08:24:32 tgvprod systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Main process
exited, code=exited, status=89/n/a
Oct 22 08:24:32 tgvprod systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Failed with result
'exit-code'.

There is no user 'rock', it's just a Postfix mailbox.

You problem stems from dovecot doing user lookup using
'rock at theglobalvoice.info'
which is why it breaks.
So, to fix this, and retain what you have configured you need to do bit
silly config (this is hopefully getting fixed in 2.3 series at some point).
passdb {
??? driver = static
??? args = noauthenticate temp_user=%u user=%Ln
}
passdb {
??? driver? = pam
}
passdb {
??? driver = static
??? args = noautenticate user=%{passdb:temp_user}
??? skip = unauthenticated
}

Can you show what you ended up pasting?

It was the three passdb blocks you sent me.
