I am trying to get Postfix, Dovecot, Postfixadmin, and MySQP all
working together. I'm using 1.0.5 atm.
I've hit a point where I can't seem top get dovecot to auth to the
MySQL password database
It seems to see the user OK, but I can't seem to get a password match.
MySQL has password stored as MD5, as per Postfixadmin. When I add
plain-md5 to the auth mechanisms dovecot seems to use plain and fails.
From dovecot.conf..
# Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms:
# plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi
# NOTE: See also disable_plaintext_auth setting.
mechanisms = cram-md5 plain login
