Im running Linux 4.9.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.189-3+deb9u1 (2019-09-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Im totally new to setting up mailservers. I havesetup a postfix for SMTP and it can receive emails. Postfix version is mail_version = 3.1.12

I have also installed Dovecot version:2.2.27 (c0f36b0) My configuration is such that POSTFIX is configured to use DOVECOT SASL through local socket.

My system is configured to store emails in /var/mail/owndomain.org/<username>. For each domain i have my own passwd file where dovecot is supposed to lookup usernames and passwords. /var/mail/owndomain.org/passwd.

I have created virtualuser for accessing mails and authenticating users. My dovecot (dovecot -n output) configuration is:

-------------------------------------------------------------
