OK - I'm trying to do weird stuff so rather not answer why I'm doing this.
Trying to log in using a master user:
user@example.com*master@master.com
When debugging the master authenticates - but then it tries to authenticate user@example.com and it's not found. And - it is true that the user doesn't actually exist.
What I want to do is allow it to log in without checking if the user exists, just on the credentials of the master. i dont understand why login should work with masteruser to user , when user does not exist, would you like to get the user created on the fly by masteruser login etc ? The directory structure for user@example.com exists. Just not in the regular mysql database. If I create a fake passdb system it works:
passdb { driver = static args = nopassword=y }
However - it leaves the system wide open for anyone. Basically - only master users are going to log in and manage stored spam for regular users. The master user will be able to spoof being the regular user to review stored spam.
whats the problem in simply create the user mailbox? i.e lda etc may do it on the fly be recieving a mail
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA -m <mailbox>: Destination mailbox (default is INBOX). If the mailbox doesn't exist, it will not be created (unless the lda_mailbox_autocreate setting is set to yes). If message couldn't be saved to the mailbox for any reason, it's delivered to INBOX instead.
Maybe there's some way to have more than one mail_location? I have this
- and it's confusing:
maildir:/fakedir/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs
the /fakedir directory is externally built and it has symlinks pointing onto the /email directory where the email is stored. If I could set up a passdb and specify a different mail_location that might solve my problem, at least one of them.
So close - yet so far away.
