[Dovecot] Failed authentication to a mysql database (bug or PEBKAC?)

Hello,

I too got a problem with dovecot trying to login to MySQL. It connects fine without a password, when i add a password the sql server rejects the connection

I know the problem, but don't know enough C++ to fix it.

The exerpts from the mysql log are: without password: 050818 11:33:29 8 Connect dovecot@server2 on postfix

with password: 050818 11:45:19 12 Connect Access denied for user 'dovecot'@'server2' (using password: YES)

As soon as i add a password to the connet string some "'" appear around the username and hostname, which makes the username invalid.
