I've set up a postfix +dovecot configuration on my debian jessie. But I have a connection issue. When I try to connect from thunderbird it doesn not work. When I check out my debug logs I get : auth-worker(22252): Info: pam(myuser,hostIP): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (password mismatch?) (given password: correctPassword)
Running doveadm auth test tells me I can authenticate with the same password. So I tried connecting via openssl. When I connect from my local host, everything goes fine :
- OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready. a login myUser myPassword a OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE] Logged in
But when I run the same thing from my remote laptop, I never get any reply from the imap server. It's as if the request wasn't reaching the server. Although I do get a first reply from the server, I just can't log in.
- OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready. a login myUser myPassword
(... and then nothing...)
I would:
sniff the connection on the mail server, if there is traffic after sending the login
test if you can log in locally while the remote connection hangs
does PAM performs some IP checks?
