Thank you Daniel. I downloaded and compiled 2.1.5 yesterday. The problem seems to be that '%w' evaulates to an empty string: Debug: sql(jeff,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, userid AS user FROM users WHERE userid='jeff' AND AES_DECRYPT('', 'key')=password I also just noticed that version 2.0.15 in my output below is coming from somewhere? I did try setting things up under 2.0.15 initially last week, but wanted to be up to date so downloaded the latest yesterday. I never did get it all working under 2.0.15 either btw. dovecot -n -c /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # 2.0.15: /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.35.14-106.fc14.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain default_client_limit = 225 first_valid_uid = 1000 listen = * lock_method = flock mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%n mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_lock_timeout = 1 mins mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocols = imap service auth { inet_listener { port = 12345 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } user = $default_internal_user } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } service_count = 1 } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } userdb { args = /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } userdb { args = /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol imap { imap_idle_notify_interval = 1 mins imap_max_line_length = 64 k mail_max_userip_connections = 5 } /mf/home/jeep/shell/.signature
