Alternate passwd files are not a supported map/table type (per postconf -m and other documentation). That's the crux of this problem. Have not been able to get recipient validation to work with a Dovecot socket either. > Using unix pipes or SASL is not a direct option, but you should be able > to source them similarly. What we have is a password file and Dovecot sockets (as defined in dovecot.conf and master.cf). How would one source them directly for user validation? What would the corresponding main.cf section look like? Pat
