Is nobody else using virtual addresses for dovecot? |

I've been trying a bunch of stuff, and it boils down to "how the hell do |
| 24 |
I get the password to match?" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
If I have the line |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
antlists:password |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
it rejects my attempt to connect with "login failed", and systemctl says |
| 31 |
"password mismatch". But if I try to put an encrypted password in there, |
| 32 |
the attempt to connect fails with "server disconnected". |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
So basically, how on earth am I supposed to get dovecot to either accept |
| 35 |
the password I give it, or let me set the password! |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
(Of course, I could just give up and create a real user, but I was |
| 38 |
hoping to avoid that!) |
