Thanks for the response. I'm, unfortunately, a little confused. This is the only line in /etc/dovecot/users:</div>

Which matches your suggestion to use the full smtp address as the username and log in with it, which I did for my test. Can you specify what it was you thought I should try differently?</div>

Regardless, I see your point about trying a less complex username. In the end, I want to host 3 small domains on one server which looks well within Dovecot's capability, but I'll try taking the use of the domain name out of the equation for now to try and
narrow down / correct the errors.</div>

https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP</a> but before I work on shipping mail through Postfix to DoveCot, I wanted to make sure IMAP is working first, but I can’t even get a basic login to so I thought I’d see if the gurus on the list might be able
to point out I’m doing wrong. The documentation is pretty good, but there were some gaps I had to guess at and I’m presuming that’s where I went wrong. I’ve turned SELinux to permissive mode, for now.<br>

<br>
auth_username_format = %Ln<br>
<br>
should fix your problem.<br>
<br>
alternatively you need to change /etc/dovecot/users to have<br>
<br>
test@test.com:....<br>
<br>
instead of<br>
<br>
test:....<br>
<br>
and log in always with full username.<br>
