[Dovecot] Info request
Hello, I'am Filip Cristian System Administrator at Astral Telecom and i'am using on our email servers dovecot for pop*, imap* auth with mysql suport. I have noticed that in the 1.0-test* release you have support for multiple password databases. From what i have tested this it's working but only if you want to fallback to another supported password databases different that the privios. Is there a posibility to use multiple mysql authentication ? I mean to use two or more mysql hosts on wich to connect and search for the username if the user it's not in the first database?
Best regards,

Hi Filip,
Yes it is possible to have more than one auth section but it will be random which is searched first. With MySQL I'm not sure how stable this is, it did have problems on test versions several months ago and I haven't tried since, I suggest thorough testing of this setup before using it in production.
Regards Andrew

Actually nowadays in 1.0-test releases it's not random. It'll be searched in the same order as they're defined (or should be anyway).
What problems are there if trying to use it? Does it even try to connect to the other database? And you just defined two passdb/userdb blocks with different args I guess?
