Unfortunately, I can't use %%u variable as is. The usernames
contain the dot character. That's essentially why I was using the
%Dn_%Dd construct. I can't find a way of doing this type os
escaping/modifying for the %% variables.
%%Dn, for example, gives:
Sep 02 16:26:01 auth: Debug: passwd-file(@23foxgrove.co.uk):
lookup: [email protected]
file=/usr/local/dovecot-2.0.1/auth/passwd.dovecot
%D%n, does not work, understandably, and caused a LOT of error
messages and stops the server being usable.
I was originally hoping for a modifier for the dot character in
variables, in the same way that the quote characters can be escaped
with the %E prefix modifier.
I'm pretty sure that I can't change the separator to a '/' as there
is a large installed user base and we'd prefer this to be as
transparent as possible.
All this help is appreciated.
Kenneth Cope.
