Hi All,
I am struggling for 2 weeks solving authentication problem in dovecot.
logs from /etc/mail/maillog Oct 15 18:00:37 localhost dovecot: auth: pam(howell@mydomain.info<howell@tourforyou.info>,88.22.197.66): unknown user

Pam says that you have no such user 'howell@tourforyou.info'. Pam most probably talks to /etc/passwd (and friends), which means that you either need to login with a valid valid system username listed in /etc/passwd, or you need to setup some other userdb/passdb that supports full email addresses as usernames.
