More on problems with new install

I pasted that block at the end of dovecot.conf, restarted, and got the 
following in syslog:

Oct 22 08:24:32 tgvprod dovecot[7290]: doveconf: Fatal: Error in 
configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 106: Expecting '{'
Oct 22 08:24:32 tgvprod systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Main process 
exited, code=exited, status=89/n/a
Oct 22 08:24:32 tgvprod systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Failed with result 
'exit-code'.

Sorry for having lost the original chain of this problem. It's been a

There is no user 'rock', it's just a Postfix mailbox.

You problem stems from dovecot doing user lookup using
'rock at theglobalvoice.info'
which is why it breaks.

So, to fix this, and retain what you have configured you need to do bit
silly config (this is hopefully getting fixed in 2.3 series at some point).

passdb {
     driver = static
     args = noauthenticate temp_user=%u user=%Ln
}

passdb {
     driver  = pam
}

passdb {
     driver = static
     args = noautenticate user=%{passdb:temp_user}
     skip = unauthenticated
}
