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.
Ahhh! That makes sense, thank you! Okay, so allow_all_users=yes would make it work... but what if I do want it to check users. What might I have wrong in my ldap settings that would prevent it from looking up users? And what kind of a performance penalty do I pay for making that lookup?
