BTW, I THINK the right answer is just to set

auth_username_format = %Ln

in 20-lmtp.conf to make it look like this:

protocol lmtp {
# this postmaster_address entry is required??? Saw that in a much older post
  postmaster_address = postmas...@mydomain.com
  # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins).
  mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
  auth_username_format = %Ln
  info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log
}




Just want to make sure that it will only affect lmtp.

Quoting Mike <barj...@attglobal.net>:

When using the lmtp service for local delivery, I'd like to change the user lookup to only use the user portion of the email address.

I think I do that in the 20-lmtp.conf file, but not exactly sure how.

From what I've found on the web, I just need to change the auth_username_format=%n.

I feel confident that I'm not doing it right.

older posts implied that the order things are loaded is an issue, but not sure if that is the case anymore.

My goal is to set username_format for only lmtp.

Thanks for any help.
