One thing that’s still a bit odd — even with logins working, I see two warnings in the log for each successful login:

2017-09-16 16:46:18 auth-worker(27699): Info: pam(paul at travler.net,204.15.194.116,<sGzTmVRZeuPMD8J0>): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (password mismatch?)
2017-09-16 16:46:18 auth-worker(27699): Info: passwd(paul at travler.net,204.15.194.116,<sGzTmVRZeuPMD8J0>): unknown user
2017-09-16 16:46:18 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<paul at travler.net>, method=PLAIN, rip=204.15.194.116, lip=204.15.194.116, mpid=27738, TLS, session=<sGzTmVRZeuPMD8J0>

How can I fix that?

Paul
