Hi All,

We're seeing an issue with LDAP auth when the username contains a -
char.

We're using 1.0.15 as packaged for Debian Lenny

Oct 2 12:29:02 silver dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: binding failed
(dn (none)): Protocol error Oct 2 12:29:03 silver dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (1
authentication attempts): user=sci-fi@sucs.org, method=PLAIN,
rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured

Setup works perfectly for the other 200 users, none of whom have a -
in the username.

Any suggestions?
