[Dovecot] Dovecot authorisation problem

[Phil Clare]

Hi List,

 

I am trying to set up dovecot on my mail server and am having some
difficulties…

I want to use virtual mailboxes and so have set up a passwd-file for userdb
and passdb and created entries for a user but they don’t seem to be working…
I have included the relevant lines from all three files below…

 

Dovecot.conf…

auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users

auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/passwd

 

users file…

HYPERLINK
"mailto:phil at topazaccommodation.co.uk::503:503::/var/mail/vhosts/topazaccomm
odation.co.uk:/bin/false"phil at topazaccommodation.co.uk::503:503::/var/mail/v
hosts/topazaccommodation.co.uk:/bin/false::

 

passwd file…

phil at topazaccommocation.co.uk:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1

 

As far as I know the password is the word ‘test’ encrypted with MD5 (is
there anyway to have these as plain text?)

 

Finally the entry from the log file…

Aug 18 16:51:58 95304-web1 dovecot-auth:
passwd-file(phil at topazaccommodation.co.uk): unknown user

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

 

Phil Clare
