You need to use passwd-file driver. I would recommend adding secondary userdb for overrides in a separate file instead of modifying /etc/passwd.
userdb { driver = passwd result_success = continue-ok }
userdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/overrides }
and put in overrides
testm2m_mydomain.tld:::::::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir
Hi Aki,
Thanks for your answer !
I've just gived a try and it works partially :
- the "userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir" is well taken into account for my user in "/etc/dovecot/overrides" (testm2m_mydomain.tld)
BUT
- all other accounts (located in "/etc/passwd" and not in "/etc/dovecot/overrides") could not connect anymore to the Dovecot server (POP/IMAP...). I got this kind of message in mail mail.log :
8<------------------------------ Feb 13 21:58:14 mail dovecot: imap: Error: Authenticated user not found from userdb, auth lookup id=2769158145 (client-pid=27095 client-id=1) Feb 13 21:58:14 mail dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure (pid=27095 id=1) (internal failure, 1 successful auths): user=<xavier_mydomain.tld>, method=PLAIN, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=y.y.y.y, mpid=27096, secured, session=<N2VZZ4v0oNABJ3LB> 8<------------------------------
Any idea ?
Thanks for your help !
