I'm still having trouble getting users accepted by postfix + dovecot.
I suppose in your system + virtual user mix, you should use LMTP:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP
So Dovecot handles the difference itself.
I have postfix set to use dovecot-lda as the delivery agent, which I
thought would make postfix let dovecot handle the differences. I
also thought if I used LMTP then I can't also use dovecot-lda and
Sieve. Can you help me understand?
userdb {
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/local/mnt/home/%n
driver = static
}
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
The static userdb does hide the passwd userdb, because it hits for
all users. You should change the order.
What I have in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf is:
----------
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
# args = scheme=SHA1 /etc/dovecot/passwd
# args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users
args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/passwd
}
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/local/mnt/home/%n
}
!include auth-system.conf.ext
----------
What I have in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext is:
----------
passdb {
driver = pam
# [session=yes] [setcred=yes] [failure_show_msg=yes] [max_requests=<n>]
# [cache_key=<key>] [<service name>]
#args = dovecot
args = username_format=%n
}
userdb {
# <doc/wiki/AuthDatabase.Passwd.txt>
driver = passwd
# [blocking=no]
#args =
# Override fields from passwd
#override_fields = home=/home/virtual/%u
}
----------
So, in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf the passwd-file userdb is
before the static one, yet 'doveconf -n' reports them the other way
around. I think the system user is not in the system /etc/passwd
file anyway, the sytem user is verified using PAM.
Sorry for being so confused.
