Re: [Dovecot] %d in configuration file does not work

passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/auth/%d/shadow }

This looks like a pre-2.x Version, best to share that detail.

Looking at the logs, %d is empty while %n works, so dovecot is looking for something in /var/mail/vhosts//myname and /etc/auth//shadow which don't exist. Replacing %d in dovecot.conf with the actual domain name works.

So, the quesiton is, why is %d empty, and from where does it take its value?

Hard to tell without seeing the actual logs. My guess is the login is not in user@domain format:
