Hi,
Long story short I've got a fully functional Dovecot IMAP instance and I am now looking to upgrade some perimiter authenticated SMTP relays to authenticate against the Dovecot instance.
Trouble is that I am seeing errors such as "auth: Warning: sql: Ignoring changed user_query in /etc/dovecot/local_sql_users.conf, because userdb sql not used." in my Postfix server logs and not able to successfully authenticate via AUTH LOGIN on the Postfi instance.
Perhaps I'm missing something obvious from my config ? Here is the doveconf -n from the Postfix server in question:
# 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.19.0-9-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.4 # Hostname: foobar.example.com auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = sha1:7 disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/local_sql_users.conf driver = sql } service auth { inet_listener { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 7425 } inet_listener { address = ::1 port = 7425 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-authrelay/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl = no
The local_sql_users.conf is the same one that's used on the functioning IMAP servers, just copied accross to the authenticated relay server:
$ sudo cat /etc/dovecot/local_sql_users.conf driver = pgsql connect = host=foo dbname=bar user=secret password=squirrel default_pass_scheme = ARGON2ID password_query = select dovecot_username as user,password from get_user('%u') user_query = select 'vmail' as uid, 'vmail' as gid iterate_query = select dovecot_username as user from get_users()
