[Dovecot] help for static user
Hi everybody,
I have been long (for 2 days) trying, but I really need some help. I would like to use virtual static users.
I configured my file as indicated in the documentation and then I
created the following directory, with the needed rights (mail account)
and leave them empty :
/var/mail/virtual/
I am not sure that it is the good method, but I understand it as follows : dovecot looks up in the directories and takes them as usernames and domain names.
When I try to open the imap box from a client (evolution), I get a "Unknown error - the server closed the connection" message, that doesn't appear in the server's syslog.
My dovecont.conf : << base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = pop3s imaps imap_listen = *:143 pop3_listen = * ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log log_timestamp = "%b %d %H:%M:%S " login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login login_chroot = yes login = imap login_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_user = dovecot login_process_size = 32 login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_max_logging_users = 256 login = pop3 login_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login max_mail_processes = 1024 verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_uid = 8 last_valid_uid = 0 first_valid_gid = 1 last_valid_gid = 0 mail_extra_groups = mail client_workarounds = outlook-idle outlook-pop3-no-nuls mailbox_check_interval = 0 mailbox_idle_check_interval = 30 mail_full_filesystem_access = no mail_max_flag_length = 50 mail_save_crlf = no mail_read_mmaped = no maildir_stat_dirs = no maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = no maildir_check_content_changes = no mbox_lock_timeout = 300 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 30 umask = 0077 imap_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap imap_process_size = 256 imap_use_modules = no imap_modules = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap pop3_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_process_size = 256 pop3_use_modules = no pop3_modules = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth = cram-md5 auth_mechanisms = cram-md5 auth_realms = auth_userdb = passwd static uid=8 gid=8 home=/var/mail/virtual/%d/%u auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/cram-md5.pwd auth_user = dovecot auth_chroot = auth_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-auth auth_process_size = 256 auth_count = 1 auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@
Thank you in advance for any help.
