and since dovecot-0.99.14-r1 authentification doesnt work no more. i posted something similar with dovecot-1.0_alpha5 but all the answers i got were like "it isnt dovecot's fault, its vpopmails". bummer, my vpopmail did not changed , but dovecot versions yes.
so i think dovecot is broken with vpopmail auth.
vpopmail auth works for some people, so it's not completely broken. It's possible that 1.0beta does something differently than 0.99.x which breaks it for you.
dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:28 Error: auth(default): vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away
But I don't know what I could do for this in Dovecot's side. It clearly happens in vpopmail's side, so it would require debugging vpopmail code as well.
Wouldn't it also work if you just made Dovecot directly authenticate with mysql, and just changed the SQL queries so that they would be compatible with vpopmail's database?
