Bonjour Timo Sirainen,
Bonjour a tous, [....] start up if you specified "passdb = passwd-file" in config file since

passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/vmail/test.%d }
And I tested that it still does work. Was indeed working with alpha2 and tried with alpha3 it is (from my stand point) still NOT working
Here are my proceeding.
dovecot.conf extract;---------------------------------------------------------------------- # passwd-like file with specified location passdb passwd-file { # Path for passwd-file #args = /home/safe/safetst/orque/clement/spool/mails/.passwd args = /home/safe/safetst/orque/clement/spool/mails/%d/.passwd } ;-- userdb static { # Template for settings. Can return anything a userdb could normally # return, eg.: uid, gid, home, mail, nice # # A few examples: # # args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/var/mail/%u # args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/%u mail=mbox:/home/%u/mail nice=10 # #args = args = uid=200 gid=200 mail=mbox:/home/safe/safetst/orque/clement/spool/mails/%d/%n } ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- "args = /home/safe/safetst/orque/clement/spool/mails/.passwd" IS WORKING.
if I duplicate .passwd file within directory domain "mylocal.test"
such as:;---------------------------------------------------------------------- [safe@oslo mails]$ pwd /home/safe/safetst/orque/clement/spool/mails [safe@oslo mails]$ ls -ailsR .: total 16 9290069 4 drwxrwxr-x 3 safe safe 4096 Sep 24 09:06 . 9290063 4 drwxrwxr-x 7 safe safe 4096 Sep 23 15:03 .. 9289730 4 drwxrwxr-x 2 safe safe 4096 Sep 24 09:06 mylocal.test 9290307 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 safe safe 65 Sep 23 15:03 .passwd ./mylocal.test: total 12 9289730 4 drwxrwxr-x 2 safe safe 4096 Sep 24 09:06 . 9290069 4 drwxrwxr-x 3 safe safe 4096 Sep 24 09:06 .. 9289731 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 safe safe 65 Sep 24 09:06 .passwd ;---------------------------------------------------------------------- and use "args = /home/safe/safetst/orque/clement/spool/mails/%d/.passwd" Authentication is NOT successful

I even tried with
"args = /home/safe/safetst/orque/clement/spool/mails/%d.passwd"
which is very close to your example, still not work
So we are missing something.... But what?
Path too long???, wrong understanding?
Beside this small problem, I really like dovecot; a small, flexible,
focused, reliable piece of software... Thanks..
(We are trying to have "clement" (a small SMTP daemon of our own (GPL too)) to be
teamed with dovecot).
