Hi List,
I am trying to set up dovecot on my mail server and am having some difficulties…
I want to use virtual mailboxes and so have set up a passwd-file for userdb and passdb and created entries for a user but they don’t seem to be working… I have included the relevant lines from all three files below…
Dovecot.conf…
auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users
auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/passwd
users file…
HYPERLINK "mailto:phil@topazaccommodation.co.uk::503:503::/var/mail/vhosts/topazaccomm odation.co.uk:/bin/false"phil@topazaccommodation.co.uk::503:503::/var/mail/v hosts/topazaccommodation.co.uk:/bin/false::
passwd file…
phil@topazaccommocation.co.uk:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1
As far as I know the password is the word ‘test’ encrypted with MD5 (is there anyway to have these as plain text?)
Finally the entry from the log file…
Aug 18 16:51:58 95304-web1 dovecot-auth: passwd-file(phil@topazaccommodation.co.uk): unknown user
Any ideas?
Thanks
Phil Clare
