auth with entire email addr instead of just username
I am trying to configure a new IMAP based mail server. I thought I had everything correct. I have dovecot logging turned up and see that dovecot is processing the entire email address as the username like this... Oct 2 14:52:20 servername dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(testu...@domain.com,1.2.3.4): lookup service=dovecot ... and of course pam is reporting that as an invalid user. Moments ago when all was mbox, authentication worked fine. I can see Thunderbird has the username correct (no domain). What is tacking on the domain and how do I fix? Thanks in advance.

Re: auth with entire email addr instead of just username
Good point.
But when I try to add a user with the user@domain format using the
useradd command I get error...
useradd: invalid user name 'u...@domain.com'

this are local users - never ever mixed mail and system users here

combined both you have a uniqe auth-provider for incoming and
outgoing mail independent of system users

Good point.

useradd command I get error...
useradd: invalid user name 'u...@domain.com'
Does this mean it's time to switch to database auth?
