Hi,
dear,
i am trying to setup dovecot to replace courier imap.
i am using vpopmail with cdb support, qmail-1.03 with the latest patch
from http://qmail.jms1.net & squirrelmail.
except for the logging details rest is working fine.
if i am trying to check user login details using vuserinfo, "last auth &
last auth ip" is not getting updated by dovecot.
Hm, I just checked and my last auth *is* getting updated but last auth
ip not. I actually made a test:
I did:
UPDATE lastauth SET remote_ip='foo' WHERE user='myuser' AND
domain='mydomain';
vuserinfo reported foo and a date. I logged in with thunderbird and it
got updated to the new timestamp
but foo was replaced with 'imap', like if it was a local webmail connection.
Well, anyway here's a diff of my dovecot.conf against the
dovecot-example.conf (so reading is easier for you)

The last part is important when you migrate from courier (gotta set it
apart from running the migration script)
