Re: [Dovecot] How do I use a username/password plain text file as authentication backend?

...

I only have a single user (with multiple mail addresses) and I don't want to expose local users (no pam or /etc/passwd). Using a SQL database seems like overkill to me. So why not just a plain text file? Well, I've read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/Static and related wiki pages, but I just can't find a clear answer. I certainly don't want to allow "any user" or "any password". Dovecot 2.0.9. Any hints for me?

Are you looking for http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile ?

Yes... apparently I am. I must've overlooked the purpose of that wiki page. I've tested that now and it works fine. Thanks a lot.
