Hmm, actually it is set -
root@ns:/usr/local/etc/dovecot # dovecot -a | grep auth_username_format
auth_username_format = %Ln
Oddly, it now seems to work once I made this change -
root@ns:/usr/local/etc/dovecot # dovecot -a | grep -A5 "protocol lmtp"
protocol lmtp {
# Added explicit hostname
hostname = ns.mahan.org
mail_fsync = optimized
mail_plugins = " sieve"
}
I now see -
root@ns:/usr/local/etc/dovecot # tail -f /var/log/maillog | grep "
ma...@mahan.org"
Mar 31 08:54:47 ns postfix/lmtp[74403]: 7871EA2DFB5: to=<ma...@mahan.org>,
relay=ns.mahan.org[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=1.9,
delays=1.8/0.01/0.01/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <
ma...@mahan.org> t1FFEMfioFykIgEAYVf4yg Saved)
So I guess it is working? :-)
Thanks,
Patrick
