I’ve set up a new mail server. Auth-worker is giving me this error all the time:
</div>
<div>

<div>
That is not an error. As the "Info: " prefix indicates, this is an innocuous informational message.

Thanks Stephan.

I know it’s not a major thing, it’s just that it is every third line of my log.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Ie I get the auth-worker unknown user, then successful imap-login, then the imap logout.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
So I’m just trying to figure out what is causing the auth-worker lookup failure so I can fix it. I did not have this in my old mail server, just the new one I’ve setup.

<div>
Is it a database issue or a Dovecot config issue? If so where?

<div>
Ýou can enable auth_verbose and auth_debug to get an idea what Dovecot is doing. You should post your `dovecot -n` to get more help on this issue.

Will look at auth_debug. It is a lot to go through!

Well... there is that usetdb passwd which seems bit extraneous.
