Hi list,
I'm running Debian Jessie (8). I have Postfix and Dovecot working successfully. I attempted to setup LMTP in order to enable sieve support, but it seems I was not successful. Dovecot version 2.2.13.
Postfix accepts an incoming test mail I sent, then tries to deliver it to Dovecot via LMTP:
dovecot: lmtp(13493): Connect from local dovecot: auth-worker(13495): pam(srg@example.com): unknown user dovecot: lmtp(13493): Disconnect from local: Successful quit
Postfix then bounces my mail with a "550 User doesn't exist." It seems that Dovecot is trying to lookup my whole address (srg@example.com) in PAM instead of just the username ("srg"), which does exist. What can I do to avoid this?
I have searched the internet about this and found a few references to "args = %s" and "args = username_format=%n" for passdb and/or userdb, but I have tried both (restarting Dovecot) to no avail.
Thank you!
doveconf -nbelow:# 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab103.6 x86_64 Debian 8.0 auth_verbose = yes ... passdb { driver = pam } ... userdb { driver = passwd } ...
Since you only have local (system) users, you should be able to solve the problem by setting:
auth_username_format = %Ln
in your /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

That was the solution! Thank you very much, Pascal!
