auth default: user: nobody
You're running dovecot-auth as nobody. I'm guessing nobody doesn't have access to /etc/shadow.
Correct, nobody does not have access to /etc/shadow and never will. How do I resolve this? Do I have to create a separate password file for my system users? Or is there a better alternative.
Usually people are just running dovecot-auth as root, which is also the default (user = root inside auth {}). Or you could create some doveauth user which has "shadow" as the primary group.
Thanks Timo, that did the trick!
