If I use in dovecot.conf

passdb passwd-file {
  args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%d/etc/shadow
}
userdb static {
  args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u
allow_all_users=yes
}
I get an authorisation failure in my mail.log file.

If I use

passdb passwd-file {
  args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/shadow
}
userdb static {
  args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u
allow_all_users=yes
}
This works !!! (without the %d) in the passdb passwd-file

Than the %d/%u is correctly rewritten in the userdb static.
PS I have in the passwd-file the username at domain and the username documented
for testing.


I think there is some problem with the %d (DOMAIN)
How can I check if %d is filled ??
And how can i make different authorisationdirs and files per domain.

Thanks

Erik
