Hi,
I'm forwarding feature request from one Fedora user:
<snip> Shortly before suicide after migration to dbmail/postfix from Eudora Mailserver because we use % in Usernames as fallback and Apple-Mail does no Plaintext- Auth if CRAM-MD% was used before i installed dovecot as proxy
BUT it allows no % in Username Please could be the following patch included?

Would it be possible or is there any reason why this is a wrong idea?
Did you read the fine manual? Have a look at: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MainConfig#Authentication_processes -> auth_username_chars What exactly does the author mean with 'we use % in Usernames'. Login names like user%example.com? If so, there is another nice configuration option: auth_username_translation Regards, Pascal -- The trapper recommends today: deadbeef.0922305@localdomain.org
