• Download the patch

Ali Erturk TURKER is maintaining a patch which restores to life the vpopmail-auth driver for Dovecot (more info here).

Patch and configure as follows. Be aware that an autoreconf must be provided, as the configure.ac has been modifed.

patch -p1 < dovecot_x.y.z_vpopmail_auth.patch
autoreconf -f -i
./configure \
--other-options-here \
--with-vpopmail

Modifications of the Dovecot configuration with respect to the sql driver suggested in my guide (more info here):

File 10-master.conf

service auth {
  unix_listener auth-userdb {
    mode = 0600
    user = vpopmail
    group = vchkpw
  }
  user = vpopmail
}

service auth-worker {
  user = vpopmail
  unix_listener auth-worker {
   user = vpopmail
   group = vchkpw
   mode = 0660
  }
}
