Hi,
I am testing dovecot 2.0.13 and 2.0.14 with qmail-ldap and auth_dovecot patch. If i login to dovecot (pop3/imap) with correct user and password. no problem, I can login immediately. but if I try with nonexistant user, dovecot does not immediate answer, wait for a while and says "Waiting for authentication process to respond." auth_dovecot process remains working in the background. How can I avoid this situation?
# telnet 0 143 Trying 0.0.0.0... Connected to 0. Escape character is '^]'.
- OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. o login validuser validpass o OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL
o login validuser wrongpass o NO [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary authentication failure.
o login non-existant anypass
- OK Waiting for authentication process to respond..
Here is output of dovecot -n
