[Dovecot] Testing SMTP AUTH

[Ajai Khattri]

Yes, dovecot is listed when running postconf -a.
I have switched on auth debugging in dovecot.

Transcript of my telnet session (domain name changed to example.com):

EHLO www.example.com
250-www.example.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
AUTH LOGIN
334 VXNlcm5hbWU6
YWphaS5uZXQ=
334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
bnlhcmFjdTAwNw==
535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6

The username and password were Base64 encoded above and are known working
values.

Actually looking through the debug log I see that its looking for the
passed-file in /home/vmail//vpasswd but my configuration has per-domain
passed-files, e.g. /home/vmail/%d/vpasswd.

Where do I set that ?
