I have dovecot working with PAM and Samba DC authentication for IMAP. However when I'm attempting to pass emails from postfix via LMTP I don't actually need to authenticate LMTP I'm happy to check for valid users upstream.
I'm getting the error: Feb 06 15:11:39 Debian-server postfix/local[178200]: ADF0E78713C: passing dom.username@Debian-server.sr.local to transport=lmtp Feb 06 15:11:39 Debian-server dovecot[178075]: auth: Error: static(dom.username): passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence Feb 06 15:11:39 Debian-server dovecot[178075]: lmtp(dom.username@Debian-server.sr.local)<178233><GJ/9Nou/wWU5uAIAiShiCA:T2>: Error: auth-master: userdb lookup(dom.username@Debian-server.sr.local): Auth USER lookup failed
You need to define a userdb to return user information. Since LMTP doesn't require auth, it can't use the passdb so that's what the error message is saying.
