Re: [Dovecot] logging IMAP username rather than UNIX username

Hi Timo

That means your authentication changes the username.

...

passdb checkpassword { args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-vauth }

Most likely qmail-vauth changes USER environment to vmail. If you can't edit qmail-vauth directly, create a wrapper script that unsets the USER environment before calling Dovecot's checkpassword-reply.

Yes, you're spot on! USER is changed. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll see if writing a wrapper works, without messing with the fact that the process has to run as the vmail user.....

Thanks Dale
