Hi,

tried %Lu, dovecot seems to still strip of the domain part before looking it up in dovecot.passwd... :

dovecot.passwd :

test@testdomain.com:{plain}test123.:8:12::/opt/storage/mbox/bb107608::

dovecot -n

# OS: Linux 2.6.24.5-smp i686 Slackware 12.1.0 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot/log protocols: pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable: /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 8 first_valid_gid: 12 mail_uid: 8 mail_gid: 12 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable: /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins: quota mail_plugin_dir: /opt/dovecot/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login apop executable: /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth user: mail username_format: %Lu verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: scheme=plain username_format=% n /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot.passwd userdb: driver: passwd-file args: username_format=%n /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot.passwd socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: mail group: mail

/var/log/dovecot/log :

...

So I went on to configure the following in my dovecot.conf :

auth_username_format = %u@%d

restarted dovecot, but he still strips of the @ and the domainname ...

LOG (sorry for f* up format) :

dovecot: Feb 21 12:15:08 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=24483 dovecot: Feb 21 12:15:12 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 lip=195.207.136.102 rip=195.207.136.108 lport=110 rport=36132 resp=AGJlbkBpdHV4LmJlAHRlc3QxMjMu dovecot: Feb 21 12:15:12 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(test@testdomain.com@testdomain.com,195.207.136.108): lookup: user=test file=/opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot.passwd dovecot: Feb 21 12:15:12 Info: auth(default): passwd-file(test@testdomain.com@testdomain.com,195.207.136.108): unknown user dovecot: Feb 21 12:15:14 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=test@testdomain.com

Can someone enlighten me on how to config it so he looks up "test@testdomain.com" fully ?

Try: auth_username_format = %Lu

[ %Lu - %u turned to lowercase ] %u@%d you have used produced "double domain" so try it without trailing "@%d".

You were right... I changed the %n to %Lu in the passdb file scheme and everything is working now :-)

thx a lot

Have you tried to change username_format for passdb and userdb *TOO*? You seem to overwrite "global default" in "sub sections". They both are set to %n - username with stripped domain.

P.S. My experience with dovecot is limited so treat my replies as guesses based of "general email experience".
