You are using pam for authentication. Are your users only 'mail users'? When your users are only 'mail users' throw one of them out of /etc/passwd. In the next step create an additional passwd like file¹ and add the previously dropped user. Finally configure multiple authentication databases² in your dovecot.conf Regards, Pascal -- 1 = http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile 2 = http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases -- The trapper recommends today: cafebabe.0929...@localdomain.org
