[Dovecot] Problem with virtual mail user login users uid not permitted

[Neil Muller]

Unfortunately, I received no replies on this problem so I guess that  
there are very few people using Dovecot and Exim with virtual users on  
Solaris 10 :=( ...

...  I do now have a working mail system of sorts but with real unix  
users so the virtual mail domains issues still remains for me to  
solve.  I'm running Exim with clamav, spamassassin, rbl checking etc  
(and dovecot of course). If anyone wants to know more about my  
configuration then I am happy to talk off list.
