I realized that the passdb is needed when using the static driver to
find out which users actually exist. And that you have to use
args=allow_all_users=yes.
But it seems the logic to detect that a passdb is needed doesn't
discover that I have a dict userdb before the static one ?!?!
Anyway ... I think I got what I wanted by not trying to change the user
in a userdb, but doing it in a passdb:
======================================================================
protocol !lmtp {
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = /etc/dovecot/accounts
}
}
protocol lmtp {
passdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-auth.conf.ext
driver = dict
}
}
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/srv/imip/vmail mail=maildir:~
}
======================================================================
Where the dict passdb returns something like:
O{"nopassword":"yes", "user": "static-user"}
This leaves me with 1 question though:
Shouldn't you be able to do this with a userdb rewriting "user" on
delivery (LMTP RCPT) and no passdb?
