Hi,

i still got a little Problem (Thunderbird cant copy my mail to "Gesendet") but besides that i can send and receive mail.

ive used:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall

there it says that /etc/dovecot/passwd should look like:
test:{PLAIN}pass
bill:{PLAIN}secret
timo at example.com:{PLAIN}hello123
dave at example.com:{PLAIN}world234
joe at elsewhere.org:{PLAIN}whee
jane at elsewhere.org:{PLAIN}mypass

but the syntax used for test and bill didnt work here, i had to add the virtual domain to get it working. or else deliver wasnt able to recognize the user (unknown user).

Can anybody please confirm this?

Also i would like to suggest to explicitely say that
protocol lda {
}

is needed even if it contains nothing.
or better change the example so that it contains the postmaster address.
but the one in the howto just contains .. dovecot probably wont even start with that example.


this is dovecot 1.2.11
