Hi:

It appears that at least at one time, Dovecot supported plaintext authentication from localhost, even if disable_plaintext_auth = yes. To wit, the example configuration file reads:

Ah, but you're looking at the CVS version's config file :) I'm copying it to web page from CVS automatically. Maybe not that good idea but easy to keep up to date..

So, the question is, is Dovecot supposed to support plaintext auth via localhost even if disallowed in dovecot.conf? If so, any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?

I only added that code a few weeks ago.
