Hello everyone,
I am getting an error message on FreeBSD 4 after I install dovecot.  To 
start off, I create two regular users, testuser and testuser1.

I send each user emails then I install dovecot.  After installing 
dovecot I set up the users in Maildir format then proceed to send them 
emails and here is what shows up in the maillogs:

Here is what the user looks like in /etc/passwd:
testuser3:*:2400:2400:My very own test user:/home/testuser3:/sbin/nologin

For the other users that have shell access, they don't get this 
problem.  It seems to be only the users with no shell.
Does anybody know of a fix for this problem?
