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.
Personally, I would *much* prefer the pain of changing everyone over to
a single password backend for both just one time, than to have to
continue to maintain a broken system.
