I'm sure I'm missing something obvious :-(
Dovecot version 1.1.6, pam authentication via ldap (openldap). basicly,
we use:
passdb pam
userdb passwd
which work fine, except for Outlook/OL Express users that are asked for
their password whenever they "send/receive"... We've had also "passdb shadow"
that somehow "fixed" this but allowed also users with expired passwords
to login :-( re-added for now, untill the correct configuration is achived).
Here is the output of dovecot -n:
