BTW, I THINK the right answer is just to set
auth_username_format = %Ln
in 20-lmtp.conf to make it look like this:
protocol lmtp {
# this postmaster_address entry is required??? Saw that in a much
older post
postmaster_address = postmaster@mydomain.com
# Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins).
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
auth_username_format = %Ln
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log
}
Just want to make sure that it will only affect lmtp.

Quoting Mike barjunk@attglobal.net:
When using the lmtp service for local delivery, I'd like to change
the user lookup to only use the user portion of the email address.I think I do that in the 20-lmtp.conf file, but not exactly sure how.
From what I've found on the web, I just need to change the
auth_username_format=%n.I feel confident that I'm not doing it right.
older posts implied that the order things are loaded is an issue,
but not sure if that is the case anymore.My goal is to set username_format for only lmtp.
Thanks for any help.
