[Dovecot] Authentication userdb file / configuration help - newbie question...
Hi All,
I need to configure Dovecot with a XMail server (www.xmailserver.org ) - this server uses a userdb file with the following format:
"domain"[TAB]"account"[TAB]"encrypted-passwd"[TAB]"account-id"[TAB]"account-dir"[TAB]"account-type"[NEWLINE]
How can authenticate Dovecot against this userdb file? Was anyone doing that? Maybe, can I authenticate Dovecot using SMTP Auth?
Thank you for any help!

The only way would be to write checkpassword script that parses it. http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword
Easier would be to write a script that parses the file and creates passwd-like file, which Dovecot can authenticate against, and then just keep those two files in sync.

I don't think XMail supports authentication via Dovecot.
