[Dovecot] Authentication Problems.

[Tom Ray [Lists]]

Timo-

I did that and it seems to have helped a bit but now I'm getting this:

Jul 15 22:50:26 mx01-test dovecot-auth: PAM: 
pam_authenticate(tom at testdomain.com) failed: Authentication failure

I'm not using PAM is there a way to turn this off?
