[Dovecot] Dovecot + vpopmail + shared folders

[qmail at top-consulting.net]

Another issue appeared however. I added these lines:

   socket listen {
     master {
       # Typically under base_dir/, if not the directory must be created.
       path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master

       mode = 0600
       user = vpopmail # User running deliver
       #group = mail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + deliver user in this group
     }
   }

and shared folders work just fine. However, I am seeing a lot of new  
errors like these in the maillog file now:

Nov 16 17:20:46 mx dovecot: auth(default): vpopmail(@domain1.com):  
unknown user
Nov 16 17:20:51 mx dovecot: auth(default): vpopmail(@domain2.com):  
unknown user

As far as I can tell the users are not having any issues logging in  
and haven't received any complaints.

I tried with mail_debug=yes but it didn't offer any other clues since  
I don't know who the user is.
