[Dovecot] Errors with doveadm when using checkpassword

[Andy Dills]

We have a checkpassword authentication with mysql pre-fetch for the 
userdb lookups.

When trying to do:

doveadm search -u andytest at xecu.net mailbox Trash DELETED

I get:

doveadm(andytest at xecu.net): Error: user andytest at xecu.net: Auth PASS 
lookup failed
doveadm(andytest at xecu.net): Fatal: /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb: passdb 
lookup failed (to see if user is proxied, because doveadm_proxy_port is 
set)

And I see this in the logs:

Feb  4 12:02:04 mail-out01 dovecot: auth: Error: 
userdb-checkpassword(andytest at xecu.net): Child 12591 exited with status 
1


I'm not surprised the checkpassword lookup is failing; the password 
isn't being supplied. Shouldn't it just be doing the prefetch lookup 
instead, like the lmtp service?
