[Dovecot] Problem with pop3 login

[Erick Perez]

I am sorry, I missed important info, here it is:
dovecot 0.99.11
default_mail_env = mbox:/home/%n/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%n
no virtual support

Note: I use %n because it was supposed to strip the domain part, but
it seems not to be working.
#   %n - user part in user at domain, same as %u if there's no domain

**************examples:**********

telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK dovecot ready.
user xyz
+OK
pass xyz
+OK Logged in.
list
+OK 24 messages:
1 97887
2 37048
.
.

********Failed example:*************
telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK dovecot ready.
user xyz at domain.com
+OK
pass xyz
-ERR Authentication failed.

Connection closed by foreign host.



Thanks for your comments,


Erick.
