Hi List,

I am trying to set up dovecot on my mail server and am having some difficulties…

I want to use virtual mailboxes and so have set up a passwd-file for userdb and passdb and created entries for a user but they don’t seem to be working… I have included the relevant lines from all three files below…

Dovecot.conf…

auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users

auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/passwd

users file…

HYPERLINK "mailto:phil@topazaccommodation.co.uk::503:503::/var/mail/vhosts/topazaccomm odation.co.uk:/bin/false"phil@topazaccommodation.co.uk::503:503::/var/mail/v hosts/topazaccommodation.co.uk:/bin/false::

passwd file…

phil@topazaccommocation.co.uk:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1

As far as I know the password is the word ‘test’ encrypted with MD5 (is there anyway to have these as plain text?)

Finally the entry from the log file…

Aug 18 16:51:58 95304-web1 dovecot-auth: passwd-file(phil@topazaccommodation.co.uk): unknown user

Any ideas?

Thanks

Phil Clare
