I noticed that incoming users were attempting to authenicate using
several methods like pam sql. Eventually, they logged in.
Is there a way for dovecot to only query a mysql backup for users, and
skip the other methods?
# dovecot -n
# 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-cgmemcap-smack x86_64 Debian 6.0 ext4

Remove passdb pam and userdb static, then reload the configuration and

OK,. tested.  Removing the userdb static  breaks authentication. I won't
do this again.
userdb static {
args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
}
