Hi All, I am bit strugging to get this work, and bit perplexed to set the right configuration to get this work, btw: I am using passdb without any DB based auth.
the latest logs after debug mode setting is below Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Error: passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users: User i...@ghhdomain.com has invalid GID '/var/spool/mail/ghhdomain/info/' Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users: Read 0 users Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Fatal: No passdbs specified in configuration file.
