I'm trying to configure dovecot to give me a mix of virtual and real users. It's working fine for my real id.

But it's not working for my antlists virtual id :-(

I know it's the authentication messing up, but I don't know what or how to fix it - I don't use anything more complicated than /etc/passwd, and it looks like it's desperate to use pam.auth and getting itself all in a twist.

If I create the dovecot passwd file with

antlists:{PLAIN}password

thunderbird complains that there's a problem with the server.

But if I use htpasswd to create the entry in the passwd file, it complains
pam_faillock(imap:auth): User unknown

So as a complete guess, I'm thinking maybe htpasswd and dovecot are using different encryptions? I just don't have a clue how to get them on the same page ...

Cheers,
Wol
