I for one welcome our new Dovecot overlords

Sorry for the noise.

Because the 'customer' has right to throw his weight around =).
Especially after paying such a large amount of money for the
product.

Almost every commercial product I know off does send unsolicited email.
There's a delete or report spam button/shortcut key for that. If it helps
some other users, and more importantly the dovecot project, i'm not too
bothered with that little inconvenience. The world doesn't revolve around
my convenience

Yes, its probably the upper-casing. No problem, its just that it used
to work and now doesn't, I've already changed the username (to
something longer which isn't all uppercase) anyway. Probably SHOULD be
mentioned briefly somewhere.

Thanks much.


[Dovecot] passwd-file - lower limit for username?

2012-02-21 Thread Oon-Ee Ng
Hi, previously I could use the following in my passwd-file:-

AB:{plain}password

I'm not sure when it stopped working, its not an account I access with
any regularity, but today it would not work (2.1.0, 64-bit Arch
Linux), with an 'unknown user' error in the logs. Is there some new
lower limit for username length?
