[Dovecot] Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Proxy with LDAP

[Raphael Bittencourt S. Costa]

Hello all,

I'm having problems to make Dovecot proxy work, I configured it
following dovecot's site. See my test below:

It accepts login and password and then closes the connection.

bastion01:~/build# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Dovecot ready.
user raphael.costa at xxxx.com.br
+OK
pass xxxxxx
+OK Logged in.
Connection closed by foreign host.


See that it get the host information but still try to access the mbox
locally.

My dovecot-ldap.conf:
pass_attrs =
uid=user,userPassword=password,mailMessageStore=userdb_home,qmailUID=userdb_uid,qmailGID=userdb_gid,proxy,mailHost=host


What am I doing wrong?
