[Dovecot] dovecot + mysql

Hi,

I've got a problem of authenticating users when they've got the % character in their login name. It always returns -ERR Authentication failed.

I've done some tests (explained below).

1. the mysql answer to SELECT password FROM users WHERE uid = 'foo%domain.com' is 123
2. the mysql answer to SELECT password FROM users WHERE uid = 'foo@domain.com' is 123
3. with a password_query like this : password_query = SELECT password FROM users WHERE uid = '%u' it works fine with foo@domain.com but not with foo%domain.com
4. everybody can login with password 123 with a password_query like this : password_query = SELECT password FROM users WHERE uid = 'foo%domain.com'

=> I don't know what's done with the % character when passed to the %u variable. Can somebody enlight me ?

Thanks a lot.
