[Dovecot] doveadm fails with passdb authentication binds (dovecot 2.0.16)

[mailing lists]

Hello, 


>> # doveadm mailbox list -u user001
>> doveadm(user001): Error: user user001: Auth PASS lookup failed
>> doveadm(user001): Fatal: passdb lookup failed

> Are you running this on a Dovecot proxy? It looks like doveadm wants to do a passdb lookup to find out which server should handle this user. Passdb lookups don't work with LDAP binding. But if everything else works then I think you simply shouldn't have enabled doveadm proxying. So, set doveadm_proxy_port back to 0?

thank you Timo, setting doveadm_proxy_port to 0 did the trick.
