 Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2014 9:20 am Post subject: Dovecot username lookup help |
 |
|
As part of running a small personal server for my family I'm hosting a domain for my mom. I already have exim setup to deliver mail to /var/mail/%h/%u where %h is the domain name while %u is the username with domain name striped. I can't get dovecot to do the same! If I set
| Code: |
auth_username_format = %n
|
pam verifies the lookup but when dovecot goes to check the maildir location searches /var/mail//%u. If I don't have that pam tries to verify %u@%h which is invalid.
How can I get dovecot pass pam just the username? |

Not sure what you've already tried, but did you set mail_location to something like:
mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%n
I have maildir delivery working using postfix and with dovecot I use this:
mail_location = maildir:~/Mail:INBOX=~/.maildir:LAYOUT=fs
Which stores mail (IMAP directories) in ~/Mail, while new mail is in ~/.maildir. |

Yes I have
| Code: |
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n
|
The problem is if I use
| Code: |
auth_username_format = %n
|
It sets %d to ''. If I don't use the auth_username dovecot tries to authenticate with the full user@domain |
