Hi timo, This is the error that comes when adding userdb checkpassword
dovecot: Oct 16 10:13:53 Fatal: auth(default): Unknown userdb driver 'checkpassword' (typo, or Dovecot was built without support for it? Check with dovecot --build-options) dovecot: Oct 16 10:13:53 Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting down Running dovecot - build-options Build options: epoll ioloop = notify = dnotify ipv6 openssl Mail Storage: mbox maildir raw cydir dbox SQL drivers: mysql Passdb: vpopmail sql checkpassword Userdb: vpopmail sql prefetch Checkpassword not compiled for userdb. Excuse the dumb question, with that option adding to compile dovecot userdb checkpassword? No information found about this.
