you mean i should define another, "fallback" userdb service if prefetch
doesn't work for some reason?
is it the problem that it's a chicken and egg scenario and with LMTP
address verification (from postfix) there is no login beforehand so then
dovecot needs to consult the userdb once again and having no fallback
mechanism, it gives up? i can understand that, but then it would need to
be emphasized in either the prefetch document or the lmtp document on
the wiki.
i've tried it and now it works, thank you ever so much. (but please make
a mental note to add this info on the wiki.)
cheers,

applies for ldap too if you use prefetch.

Subject: LMTP error, mysterious
hi (especially to you, Aki),
so to solve the previous UID issue, i went the full LMTP route. however,
i seem to be having problems with the prefetch userdb (i'm trying to
minimize load on the LDAP server). namely, the log says:
Aug 2 00:15:35 rhyno postfix/submission/smtpd[21158]: 5EEF35C05C5:

(the above is a transcript of a full session i've done over telneting to
localhost 587 and auth login-ing with valid credentials)
so, i've tested the actual login process, and it works flawlessly, and
it looks like IMAP is up and running:
Connected to localhost.

this is how i send the test mails:

my concern is these two:

userdb lookup not possible with only userdb prefetch
Aug 2 00:15:40 rhyno dovecot: lmtp(a...@rhyno.tech): Error: user
a...@rhyno.tech: Auth USER lookup failed
10-auth.conf has these settings:
passdb {
driver = ldap
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext
}
userdb {
driver = prefetch
}
dovecot-ldap.conf.ext has these settings (only the relevant ones)
dn = ***whatever, it works***
dnpass = ***whatever, it works***
auth_bind = no
base = dc=rhyno,dc=tech
pass_attrs = \
=user=%{ldap:uid}, \
=password=%{ldap:userPassword}, \
=userdb_home=%{ldap:homeDirectory}, \
=userdb_uid=%{ldap:uidNumber}, \
=userdb_gid=%{ldap:gidNumber}
pass_filter =
(&(objectclass=postfixUser)(mailacceptinggeneralid=%n)(mailacceptinggeneralid=@%d))
so what am i missing? also, this format of setting variables
(=<output_field>=%{<whatever_special_result_field>}) is never explained
on the wiki (or am i just blind?)
thanks in advance,
a
