Thanks Timo,

Unfortunately this is still not working. Any further comments would be appreciated.

I've tried it two ways:-

ATTEMPT 1

/etc/dovecot.conf: auth default {

userdb passwd-file {
    args = /etc/dovecot.passwd
}

passdb passwd-file {
    args = scheme=plain-md5 username_format=%u /etc/dovecot.passwd
}

}

/etc/dovecot.passwd: bob@vh1.com:$1$Vh6a...::::::userdb_user=vh1_bob

Error: auth(default): passwd-file(bob@vh1.com,::ffff:127.0.0.1): no passwd file: scheme=plain-md5 username_format=bob@vh1.com /etc/dovecot.passwd

ATTEMPT 2

/etc/dovecot.conf: auth default {

userdb passwd-file {
    args = /etc/dovecot.passwd
}

passdb passwd-file {
    args = /etc/dovecot.passwd
}

}

/etc/dovecot.passwd: bob@vh1.com:{PLAIN-MD5}$1$Vh6a...::::::userdb_user=vh1_bob

Error: auth(default): passwd-file(bob@vh1.com,::ffff:127.0.0.1): unknown user

I'm missing something obvious, I'm sure of it.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks
