[Dovecot] need simpler directions on user authentication
Hi all,
My situation is this: I have postfix running on a Linode under Arch Linux. A recent upgrade to dovecot broke the configuration. Now I get "Couldn't drop privileges: User is missing UID (see mail_uid setting)."
I do not want virtual users. I do not particularly want SQL or LDAP. I do have multiple domains. I do use Maildir. I already have SSL certificates for the server which I did manage to get dovecot to quit complaining about.
The documentation is driving me nuts. It keeps telling me about stuff I think I don't need. And I can't tell what I actually *do* need. All I want is for system users, including myself, to be able to get their mail.
How do I do this?
Thank you! David Benfell dbenfell@gmail.com

If you give us some information maybe we could help you. At least, we need the output of doveadm config -n and the relevant log lines.
