[Dovecot] "unknown user" with: Dovecot Pop3 - SASL pam Postfix - Authtentification
Hallo
I build my Installation after HowTo with Archlinux packages: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall
I can send e-mail, but pop3 failed: "unknown user"
For good popularity needed one or more 100% complete howto step-by-step reusable for full folk. (not many-many with small pieces solutions by problems...)
thanks nora

This HowTo shows how to use passwd-file.
!!! unknown user dovecot: Sep 19 08:32:40 Info: auth(default): passwd(modernlove@verben.ch,77.56.100.9): unknown user
This shows that you're using passwd as your userdb, not passwd-file.
dovecot: Sep 19 08:32:40 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 709
modernlove@verben.ch uid=1000 gid=101 home=/home/vmail/modernlove@verben.ch
Then again this shows that it succeeds, which probably means that you have both passwd and passwd-file configured. Look at "dovecot -n" output to see if this is the case, and if so remove userdb passwd.
