When I telnet into 110 I can enter a username with user [username] then when I do pass [password] I get -ERR Authentication failed. I know the user info is correct.
Setting auth_debug_passwords=yes and looking at the logs would tell exactly why it's failing. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging
root@mail:/etc/dovecot# dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Error: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 1076: Unknown section type (section changed in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf at line 1038)
In Ubuntu Dovecot is started with -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf, so the dovecot.conf isn't used at all. In your dovecot -n output you'd need to give the same -c parameter. Why they decided to do it like this, I've no idea.
Anyway.. What this means is that:
Starting line 1076---> master {
Apparently master {} isn't inside socket listen {} block, as it should be.
Here is the latest portion of my log attempting to log in with a user that I created in postfixadmin. The telnet session opened fine and it gave +OK for the user. Then I got -ERR Authentication failed for the password. This is the log of it...
