[Dovecot] Only method=PLAIN

[Manuel Fernández Panzuela]

Then, which is the correct configuration ? Are my config files ok ?
Openldap stores passwords encrypted with sha algorithm

Sendmail could be the problem? Sendmail works with PAM authentication
/etc/pam.d/smtp to work with LDAP too.

When I connect outlook with (Sendmail + Dovecot) password is requested, but
for all attempts I get the following error in /var/log/maillog

Using TLS
dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: user=<manuel.fernandez.panzuela>,
method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:10.237.208.211, lip=::ffff:10.237.193.133, TLS

Without TLS
dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: user=<manuel.fernandez.panzuela>,
method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:10.237.208.211, lip=::ffff:10.237.193.133
