Re: [Dovecot] deliver fails - passdb doesn't support lookups?

I'm trying to get deliver (the LDA) to function properly. I can get it to work without doing a user lookup, but for my own sense of sanity, I want to know what I'm doing wrong getting user lookups working. (I'm using dovecot 1.0.10).

Here's what I have in the "auth default" section: args = uid=3728 gid=3728 home=/domains/%Ld/%Ln

passdb? I thought it was the userdb that was important! What's going on here?

With a static userdb, dovecot still wants to verify that the user exists with a passdb lookup. If your MTA is configured to verify that the user exists before passing mails to the LDA, you safely tell userdb to disable this check by addding "allow_all_users=yes" to your passdb args.
