Hello,
It is my first post on this list and I hope someone will be able to help.
I have installed dovecot on FreeBSD 6.1. Everything works fine but I
wanted to create a way to accept mail to a few virual users and decied to
use and example from http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualhostingWithExim
auth = default
auth_userdb = static uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/dovecot/users/%u
auth_passdb = passwd-file /home/dovecot/passwd
auth_user = dovecot
I altered the uid and gid and made sure I have the directories ready and
passwd file ok. I altered the conf file to read the following:
userdb static {
# Template for settings. Can return anything a userdb could normally
# return, eg.: uid, gid, home, mail, nice
#
# A few examples:
#
# args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/var/mail/%u
# args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/%u mail=mbox:/home/%u/mail
nice=10
#
#args =
# dovecot virtual users
auth_userdb = static uid=1003 gid=1003 home=/home/dovecot/users/%u
auth_passdb = passwd-file /home/dovecot/passwd
auth_user = dovecot
)
However, dovecot complains:
Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 752:
Unknown setting: auth_userdb
Where did I go wrong? I hope someone can help me. Thanks!
Warm regards from Poland,
Zbyszek
