You need to configure Postfix to use dovecot as SASL provider. There are some Howto's in the wiki.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/**HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASLhttp://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL http://wiki2.dovecot.org/**HowTo/**VirtualUserFlatFilesPostfixhttp://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/VirtualUserFlatFilesPostfix
If you cannot solve it with this please provide dovecot -n, postfix -n and logs with auth_debug=yes.
I had followed the documentation as per . however in the i get the following error .
[root@test /]# telnet 192.168.77.36 110 Trying 192.168.77.36... Connected to mail.server.co.in (192.168.77.36). Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user agnello +OK pass 123456 Connection closed by foreign host.
in the maillog i get the following error :
May 5 11:30:43 mail dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=192.168.70.12, lip=192.168.77.36 May 5 11:30:55 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<agnello>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.70.12, lip=192.168.77.36, mpid=30400 May 5 11:30:55 mail dovecot: pop3(agnello): Error: user agnello: Couldn't drop privileges: User is missing UID (see mail_uid setting) May 5 11:30:55 mail dovecot: pop3(agnello): Error: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.
my confi file details is as follows :
cat /etc/dovecot/passwd agnello:{plain}123456
[root@mail ~]# cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
use: "dovecot -n" and post output
[root@mail ~]# cat /etc/postfix/main.cf
use: "postconf -n" and post output
For Postfix, you could read the documentation at:
http://www.postfix.com/DEBUG_README.html#mail
Pay attention to these entries:
Output from "postconf -n". Please do not send your main.cf file, or 500+ lines of postconf output.
Better, provide output from the postfinger tool. This can be found at http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger.
If the problem is SASL related, consider including the output from the saslfinger tool. This can be found at http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/.
