This apparently was a problem that i was not aware since i redid my mail server
configuration to make use of Postfixadmin. I have update the conf files using
the postfix document fromthe down load. The download document seems to be fpr
an early version of dovecot (I am using 2.2.4) as it focuse of dovecot.conf
which is now broken into file in the conf.d subdirectory I get "dovecot:
auth-worker(30555): sql(ab...@examplei.com): unknown user "
I imagine this is a conf problem and deals with reading the sql daya I have
confirmed the dayta is there
The major file apperas to be dovecot-sql.conf.ext
Mine reads as follows
driver = mysql
connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfixadmin
password_query = SELECT username, password FROM mailbox WHERE username='%u' and
active ="
default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT
user_query = SELECT maildir, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE
username = '%u'
user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/vmail/mail/', maildir) AS home, 5000 AS uid,
5000 AS gid
Since normal mail is habdled by dovecoy It would see somthing is wrong wihh the
first user_query since it appears to be the one that should fine the alias user
Any hellp or suggestions would be appreciate
