If I log in as a non-existent user (neither in passwd or ldap), without the domain part, it logs also an error, but this time from ldap :

dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(foo.bar,xx.xx.xx.xx,<bCVDqnPKXQC8pSxD>): ldap_bind() failed: Invalid DN syntax

My bind DN to check the password is :

auth_bind_userdn = dc=%n,dc=%d,ou=Domains,ou=Mail,dc=dspnet,dc=fr

(I have virtual users in multiple domains)

So ldap protests probably because the "domain" part is missing.

If I use a non-existent login "foo at bar", dovecot logs nothing : no error from passwd, no error from ldap, just an authentication error on the client side.

I will apply the patch later today and will let you know the result.
