Plain password not authenticating
I'm trying to set up a temporary mailserver using Debian Sarge and
Dovecot 1.0 with maildir format. My only previous experience has been
on a simple imap server.
I have read the wiki documentation and searched the archives, but can't
tie down my problem. The log tells me
Info: passwd-file(anne) : unknown user.
I have set
auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.passwd

Can't send mail through new server
I thought I had just about got the old server to the point of being
switched off. I have been reading from the dovecot server for a couple
of days, and this evening I switched the 'sending' to the new server as
well - but I couldn't get anything out. I got:

Authenticate user thru PAM
my mailsystem is using postfix and virtual mailbox which stored in mysql db.
SMTP AUTH is using PAM, pam-mysql to authenticate against a mysql db.
I installed dovecot 0.99-14. In the dovecot example config file
it mentioned that auth_passdb can check against thru PAM but auth_userdb didn't
Does it mean that auth_userdb should use other means e.g. /etc/passwd,
shadow, vpopmail, etc and in my

More than one auth method with dovevot 0.99.10.4 - how?
We're setting up a server with qmail/vpopmail and dovecot. In
addition to vpopmail users we want non-virtual, local users to be able
to authenticate and have them read the Maildir in their real $HOME.
vpopmail userdb/passwd works fine. Now how do I tell dovecot to use
passwd (or PAM) userdb/passdb authentication too?

Configuration file format changes
After tomorrow's 0.99.8 release I think it's time for a new config file
format. It could be made backwards compatibile with the old format, but
there would be new tree-like categories. I was thinking something like
this:
# global settings
protocols = imap
# "foo.server.org" is just descriptive name
# settings inside server { .. } will override global ones.

dovecot auth using passwd-file
Im a dovecot newbie and need a little help with the passwd-like file
auth mechanism in dovecot
I got dovecot to work fine with regular /etc/passwd file auth .. so I
wanted to start using another authentication store for virtual users.
So .. I created a /etc/dovecot-passdb file and plopped in an encrypted
password using md5crypt.
Here are the appropriate lines from the dovecot.conf file

Problems finding information on passwd-file
I've recently converted over to dovecot to uw-imap, and am having a
heck of a time trying to find actual docs that describe how to set up
virtual users properly without using ldap or posgres.. Basically I need to
know what goes in auth_userdb and auth_passdb for a system with *NO* local
user accounts in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. I will only create mbox files
for these users in /var/mail/%u
