Much thanks for clearing that up. The documentation wasn't very heplful on that point. I'll change it to a single instance and rely on a more complex SQL query. I look forward to version 2.
thanks again,
Jeff.

How do you control which socket or authentication process dovecot's pop3 daemon chooses to use? I've got a user database with two flags one to allow pop3 access and the other to allow the use of auth smtp. There are two authentication instances configed, thus,
auth default {
..
auth postfix {
Although this seems logical, unfortunately it's not how the feature was originally built. So you can't choose which auth block Dovecot uses, it'll use both of them somewhat randomly. Hopefully v2.0 will finally do this right.
Currently if you want this you need to run two Dovecot instances.
