Dovecot login with username and no @domain.com extension

  • 772

I have dovecot setup and working, but i can only login as a linux user without the @domain.com extension. e.g joe.bloggs is a user on the linux system. i can login using this as the imap username and the user password

username = joe.bloggs - Allows me to login to roundcube tosend and receive emails.

The problem is i want to be able to set this up to work on my phone and it wont let me enter the imap details without @domain.com.

username = [email protected] - Does not work with roundcube or with the android mail app.

How can i configure the imap system to allow me to login as [email protected]? Will i have to create a linux user called [email protected]?

email

  1. I think you can use auth-passwdfile.conf.ext with users file.

    passdb {
  driver = passwd-file
  args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /my/file/path/dovecot.users
}

    Syntax:

    [email protected]:{passwdtype}password:uid:gid::::
