Hi once again, I've just had a closer look to the problem using gdb: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x08055703 in auth_request_set_userdb_field (request=0x80a6008, name=0x0, value=0x80a60d0 "postmaster@mydomain.de") at auth-request.c:1154 1154 if (strcmp(name, "uid") == 0) { The problem occurs in auth_request_set_userdb_field which is called from userdb-vpopmail.c on line 125 with parameter name = NULL. Attached is a small patch that handles the NULL case for the name parameter inside the auth_request_set_userdb_field function. It works for me (no problems so far), but I think someone else should have a look at it :=) => Patch is against dovecot 1.1 beta11. Regards, Moritz Moritz Mertinkat schrieb:

Hi everybody,

I've problems running Dovecot 1.1beta11 using vpopmail userdb/passdb (Dovecot 1.08 however works just fine).

It looks like as if the auth process gets killed somehow... Any ideas what might be wrong?
