Greetings!
My ultimate goal is to have fetchmail/getmail poll from POP3/IMAP servers and deliver mail into Dovecot mailboxes. This does not work because the Dovecot LDA for some reason fails.
I believe I have narrowed down the problem to dovecot-auth not finding my userdb. But, I am able to connect to dovecot via IMAP in my MUA and preform operations (read, delete mail, create folders). This leads me to believe my userdb is setup correctly.
Does anyone have any idea as to why dovecot-auth would not find my userdb? (Configuration is below).
carl@cvondrick:~$ dovecot --version 1.0.10
carl@cvondrick:~$ /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-auth dovecot-auth: Fatal: You'll need to add at least one userdb

The package is from Ubuntu Hardy, but I can build from source if you think it'll fix this.
Thanks for any responses, Carl
