This is just a heads-up to let the list know that I'm still unable to get ANY sort of pop3 or pop3s authentication to work with Dovecot.
Just as a sanity check, I set up an entirely separate system, running FreeBSD 6.1 production, postfix 2.3, and Dovecot 1.0rc2, as a testbed. I got the exact same problem that I had with the NetBSD 3.0 production server, specifically that Dovecot refuses to authenticate a user with either basic pop3 or pop3s.
i'm using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on a mailserver with dovecot (dovecot-1.0.b7_1 from ports) and a mysql-db without any problems (pop3s and imaps)
earlier i had FreeBSD 5.4 working fine with dovecot using regular "unix-style" password-files
maybe i missed earlier emails from you, but is there a certain reason you want to use pam-auth only (with 1.0rc2) ?
