Because that is the way the system was originally configured. I had nothing to do with it. The system uses a simple format: u...@doman.com password The SASL mechanism presently in use uses: u...@hostname.domain.com password Worse, the passwords are not the same in both instances. If I try to implement one system I will have to deal with all of the present users and get them all on the same page. That is not something I really want to invest time in right now. If dovecot could be told to use a specific file then that would simplify things greatly. Besides, the SASL file does not need all of the information contained in the regular Dovecot user/passwd file. Otherwise, I might just give up on this entire endeavor. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
