Yeah, I did not add that. That's coming from somewhere else (like the auth_mechanisms).
I think Charles said it was a config file in a different directory. I'll be looking at in more detail soon. I suspect it one of these two lines from dovecot.conf: !include conf.d/*.conf or !include_try local.conf Related: what does the bang mean? I've got a programming background, and to me its a NOT. So I would read that as "don't include conf.d/...". It would have the same effect as commenting it out. > Does the userdb have "user@domain" entries, rather than just "user" > entries? user@domain I just performed a fresh install of Debian, so I can look at things without all the tutorial knob turning. Thanks for the help.
