I remember some people also complained how the LDAP documentation was messy. Here's my attempt at cleaning it up: http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP Anything still unclear? (Other than SSL/TLS setup. Someone who knows how it really works should write something there.)

[Dovecot] Problem with v1.1.10
by Cyrus Rahman 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

I've been using 1.1.8 successfully but tried out 1.1.10 this morning. I have a combination of system and virtual users. The system users were unaffected by the change, but the virtual users all lost access to their mail because their home directories, as interpreted by dovecot, moved from user@domain to user@user@domain. The location of the home directory is given to dovecot for virtual users using the static db as uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%u mail=maildir:~/Inboxdir Were … [View More]there any changes in this area that might have caused the problem?

[Dovecot] DIGEST-MD5 user/realm mismatch with Postfix
by Darren Pilgrim 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

This is a follow-on to the "SQL field format for digest-md5?" thread. After some additional debugging, I've found the problem is a mismatch in what Dovecot expects and Postfix uses for the user and realm. For a username "user(a)example.com" and password "sekret", Dovecot expects: username = "user" realm = "example.com" but Postfix sends the checksum of: username = "user(a)example.com" realm = "" How do I fix this?
