Unable to get virtual users set up with database auth
I can't seem to get imap virtual users to work with database authentication on new Scientific Linux 6.5 server with Sendmail 8.14.4 & Dovecot 2.0.9 Apparently I have to also create system users because sendmail/procmail/dovecot want to check directory ownership. So I created a database, made entry for the user, created the user chayes on the system. But %u always contains just chayes instead of chayes@domain.tld even though I tried different select statements to put the entire username in the username field. This causes the following errors:

I tried both ways with same result. I tried just returning the username as well.

Since you have to use system users, why don't you just use that? Why use SQL?

ok I tried this as the query:
password_query = SELECT uName as user, uNameDomain as username, uDomain as domain, uPass as password FROM users WHERE uName = '%n' AND uDomain = '%d'
and it is still putting mail /var/spool/mail/chayes and erroring trying to look in chayes@domain.tld/chayes instead of /var/spool/mail/chayes@domain.tld
