Hi! Sorry for my english...
I recently know about dovecot and I try to use it on my server.
Previously I used qmail+vpopmail+courier and now I want to use
postfix+dovecot and, to mantain all my mailboxes structure, I try to
use dovecot with vpopmail.
During configuration the script detects my vpopmail installation and
configuration and after I get this status:
Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local
File offsets ........................ : 64bit
I/O loop method ..................... : poll
File change notification method ..... : dnotify
Building with SSL support ........... : yes (OpenSSL)
Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes
Building with pop3 server ........... : yes
Building with mail delivery agent .. : yes
Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no
Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd
passwd-file checkpassword vpopmail (modules)
Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow
checkpassword vpopmail (modules)
And after some testing I start the daemon with this config:
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb vpopmail {}
userdb vpopmail {}
user = vpopmail
}
I connect to localhost via pop3 and when I try to auth some user I get this:
Dec 26 01:27:45 anet dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1
PLAIN service=IMAP secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1
resp=AHNyb2RvbkBncmFjaWFuZXQub3JnAHR3aXN0
Dec 26 01:27:45 anet dovecot: auth(default):
vpopmail(srodon at anet.org,127.0.0.1): unknown user
Dec 26 01:27:46 anet dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1
user=srodon at anet.org
Dec 26 01:27:46 anet dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login:
user=<srodon at anet.org>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1,
secured
I tried other auth methods but I get an "Unsupported authentication
mechanism" error. A try with encrypted password files and with a plan
one.
thanks in advance!
