Your passwd contains the user with @domain? I don't think so.
you tried to auth as user erickom@metropolitan.org.za via PAM, but your /etc/passwd would know erickom only. Hence, try to auth without domain.
I uncommented the above # System users (NSS, /etc/passwd, or similiar). # In many systems nowadays this uses Name Service Switch, which is # configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
passdb { driver = passwd # [blocking=no] #args = } and commented the pam authentication.
see below the log: Aug 20 15:32:00 ajk dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=17996) Aug 20 15:32:00 ajk dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011session=TFLnFGHkuwAKAABn#011lip=10.0.0.244#011rip=10.0.0.103#011lport=143#011rport=60347 Aug 20 15:32:00 ajk dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT#0111#011 Aug 20 15:32:00 ajk dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: CONT#0111#011AGVyaWNrb20AbmluYTAxMDE4M2M= (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data) Aug 20 15:32:00 ajk dovecot: auth-worker(17987): Debug: passwd(erickom,10.0.0.103): lookup Aug 20 15:32:00 ajk dovecot: auth-worker(17987): Error: passwd(erickom,10.0.0.103): Invalid password 'x' in passdb: crypt() failed: Invalid argument
Now you try with another passwd driver and access /etc/passwd without PAM, but you have a shadowed passwd system. Revert to passdb pam and try the username without domain.
