Hello,

I am trying to configure my dovecot folowing this guide: http://www.w3style.co.uk/virtual-domains-with-exim-and-dovecot

I append the output of dovecot -n below. I created /etc/vmail/my-domain.de/user containing: test-user:{PLAIN}test:1002:100::/home/test-user::

No I try to login: telnet 127.0.0.1 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'.

• OK This is Dovecot, and it is ready. a01 LOGIN test-user@my-domain.de test a01 NO Authentication failed.

It does not work! But when I change the "%d" to my-domain.de, and login without the domain, it works!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks! Nathan
