Greetings,
I am running 64 bit Ubuntu server 10.04.04, postfix 2.7.0, and dovecot 1.2.9. I installed the dovecot-postfix package so the two would be configured to work together.
From localhost I can send and receive email to/from arbitrary remote sites without any problems.
I wish to send & receive email from my (remote) desktop via Thunderbird through that sever.
When I attempt to configure Thunderbird I get the following on mail.log:
Mar 26 15:04:51 booklion dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=74.179.230.177, lip=192.168.168.53 Mar 26 15:04:51 booklion dovecot: last message repeated 2 times Mar 26 15:04:51 booklion dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=74.179.230.177, lip=192.168.168.53 Mar 26 15:04:51 booklion dovecot: last message repeated 3 times Mar 26 15:04:51 booklion dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=74.179.230.177, lip=192.168.168.53 ...
For now, I just want to control access through the normal passwd/shadow mechanism.
I set in dovecot.conf:
disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = yes passdb shadow { } userdb passwd { }
I don't know what else to try. Help would really be appreciated.
