Hi, I've upgraded mail server to dovecot-1.1, on solaris-10 with mysql user database. I used sql query "SELECT NULL as password, login as user, concat('/mail/var/dovecot/',login) AS userdb_home, 501 AS userdb_uid, 501 AS userdb_gid FROM users WHERE login='%n' AND password=old_password('%w')" with dovecot-1.0.15 and it worked perfectly. But since upgrade the server can not authenticate any users, complaining in info_log: "Empty password returned without no_password". How to set up such things in dovecot-1.1? Is it possible?

Like it says, return no_password field also. For example:

select 'Y' as no_password, ...

Thank you, Timo, it worked but without underscore, that is, "select 'Y' as nopassword...". But after that I have another problem:

dovecot: Jul 01 17:38:50 Error: IMAP(seriv): Corrupted transaction log file /mail/var/dovecot/seriv/.Trash/dovecot.index.log: hdr.size too large (67108864) dovecot: Jul 01 17:38:50 Warning: IMAP(seriv): fscking index file /mail/var/dovecot/seriv/.Trash/dovecot.index dovecot: Jul 01 17:38:52 Error: child 29586 (imap) killed with signal 11 ...

(imap child killed many many times). I stopped dovecot, deleted dovecot.index files, and this problem was gone. But tags also were gone. Is there a way to upgrade preserving tags and other flags?

WBR, Sergey Ivanov.
