Yes, that is the bugger.

   using  "ldap_bind = yes" within this context gives that error.

   Thanks for all the help. It seems so harmless ...

   passdb ldap {
      passdb_use_worker = yes
      passdb_ldap_filter = ...
      fields {
         ...
      }
   }

           Wrong idea I think. The simplest thing to try is to mask the bind
       password
           in the LDAP configuration by turning it into a comment. Restarting
       Dovecot
           immediately shows in the log files that the password is missing.

     HI

     if you put the bind password back in the configuration and take out
     the ldap_bind = yes or set it to no in the passdb ldap config, does that
     go back to working again? If so is the error message about userpassword
     still produced?
