you try. El 22/3/23 a les 4:52, Horst Simon ha escrit: I try to configure to have user authenticate to a local file called
users, with their mailboxes in ../../spool/dovecot, not in their home
directories. I have this working correctly with pam authentication on
different servers(openSuse and macOS). This server has no pam
authentication so I need to use a local file, but I can not make any
sense of the documentation, can someone please help on which files I
need to change and to which values.
I tried several options but getting all kind of errors with UID. Horst -- Narcis Garcia I'm using this dedicated address because personal addresses aren't
masked enough at this mail public archive. Public archive administrator
should fix this against automated addresses collectors. Subject: Digest Footer dovecot mailing list
