Hello,

Trying to set in dovecot.conf more than one auth section found that imap and pop3 auth process use bose of them. Loooks like thay do in round-robin way or maybe another way.

Example of config:

auth default { mechanisms = plain

passdb sql {
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-mysql.conf

  }
userdb prefetch {                                                                                                                  
 

}

user = root socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = dovecot group = dovecot } }

}

auth smtp_auth { mechanisms = login plain passdb sql {
args = /usr/local/etc/smtp_auth.conf
} userdb prefetch {
} socket listen { client { user = mailnull # User running Dovecot LDA group = mail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + LDA user in this group path = /var/run/auth-smtp-plain mode = 0660 }

} }

Main problem - dovecot-mysql.conf and smtp_auth.conf have doferent sql querys inside, and if user try to auth via pop3 service but thru the "auth smtp_auth", than it's failed in any way.

Quetion - Is exist any way to limit default doecot auth process to use just "auth default" for authintification ? maybe some options like "services= POP3 IMAP" inside?

Or maybe there is anather way to do this ?
