Fedora 7 Dovecot version 1.0.1
Hi All,
I've been using a combination of getmail/Dovecot/Squirrelmail for a while now and its all been fine. However, last week when trying to demonstrate how to use Squirrelmail to my wife, her login failed. I then tried mine, which I had used many times before and it also fails.
Looking in the logs, Dovecot appears to be trying to add a domain name against the login, instead of just checking that user against the UNIX logins of my machine. I thought at first this was because when I'm away from home, I use a no-ip address to access my mailserver, but it also fails when I'm in the house, or even on the server console.
dovecot: Jul 12 12:04:56 Info: imap-login: Aborted login: user=< rick@servehttp.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff: 127.0.0.1, secured dovecot: Jul 12 12:10:00 Info: pop3-login: Login: user=<rick>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured
Anybody any idea how to rectify this? I can't see an option in the /etc/dovecot.conf file to stop it and using auth_default_realm = doesn't seem to make any difference. If I telnet into dovecot using my local username and password, it works fine.
Any advice would be most welcome before I break it fiddling.
Thanks
Rik
