[Dovecot] Error in SimpleVirtualInstall
Hi,
i still got a little Problem (Thunderbird cant copy my mail to "Gesendet") but besides that i can send and receive mail.
ive used: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall
there it says that /etc/dovecot/passwd should look like: test:{PLAIN}pass bill:{PLAIN}secret timo@example.com:{PLAIN}hello123 dave@example.com:{PLAIN}world234 joe@elsewhere.org:{PLAIN}whee jane@elsewhere.org:{PLAIN}mypass
but the syntax used for test and bill didnt work here, i had to add the virtual domain to get it working. or else deliver wasnt able to recognize the user (unknown user).
Can anybody please confirm this?
Also i would like to suggest to explicitely say that protocol lda { }
is needed even if it contains nothing. or better change the example so that it contains the postmaster address. but the one in the howto just contains .. dovecot probably wont even start with that example.
this is dovecot 1.2.11

If you use "test" and "bill" in passwd file, you need to log in as "test" and "bill" username (without any @domain). And you must not have set auth_default_realm. The example above is intended to show that it's possible to have users with or without domain names.

It's not.. Or shouldn't be.
or better change the example so that it contains the postmaster address.
That's true. Added.
