Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot not honoring configuration settings (auth failure)

Your userdb and passdb are not using the same DB: did you intend this? Does the userdb have "user@domain" entries, rather than just "user" entries? The diagnostics I referred to in my last post would have been helpful here.
# postconf -n
If you're having problems authenticating to the IMAP service, then you ought to concentrate on that problem: it's likely your LDA problem is dependent on that solution.

Your userdb and passdb are not using the same DB: did you intend this? Yeah, I did not add that. That's coming from somewhere else (like the auth_mechanisms).
I think Charles said it was a config file in a different directory. I'll be looking at in more detail soon. I suspect it one of these two lines from dovecot.conf:
!include conf.d/*.confor
!include_try local.confRelated: what does the bang mean? I've got a programming background, and to me its a NOT. So I would read that as "don't include conf.d/...". It would have the same effect as commenting it out.
Does the userdb have "user@domain" entries, rather than just "user" entries? user@domain
I just performed a fresh install of Debian, so I can look at things without all the tutorial knob turning.
Thanks for the help.

I guess it's the semi-arbitray syntax Timo chose for the include directive. Maybe it came from the bang syntax for Unix scripts.
