[Dovecot] auth: passwd file (info): unknown user

Hello,

the problem is: The users are system users (by Confixx) say webxpy.
But behind it e-mail puts of course address like
info at domain.de and so on. Everything functions perfectly,
nevertheless, is following in the log.

…
… dovecot: auth: passwd file (jk): unknown user
… dovecot: auth: passwd file (jim.knuth): unknown user
… dovecot: auth: passwd file (info): unknown user
… and so on

It is tried obviously, before the domain part in the passwd file
to find user info … However, there is in it only webxpy.
How can I solve this dilemma, by which does this come then?

auth_username_format = %n

Thanks in advance

as attached mine dovecot-n

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
with kind regards,
Jim Knuth
