Hello.
This might be a silly problem, but I'm a bit a newbie at this, and the internet didn't give me a solution to this yet.
I installed a mail server with postfix, dovecot, postfixadmin and a mysql DB for authentification, using this tutorial : <http://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-doveco t-mysql/> http://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-dovecot -mysql/. Except step 4. The complete tutorial worked on a virtual machine, but doesn't work here on a vps from ovh.net.
Connecting via telnet localhost 143 works, I can connect.
When I try to connect via thunderbird, the domain name is picked up, but gives me a bad login/password combination. Mail.log, mail.err and error don't show anything.
Via MS Outlook, I seem to get stuck on the connection page, and I get the following errors in mail.log:
dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y
dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y
dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected
dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected
dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y
dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS: Disconnected
dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts rip=x, lip=y
dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS handshaking: Disconnected
dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x, lip=y, TLS handshaking: Disconnected
And after a while asks to try to connect via plain method.
Doveconf -n gives me this
2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab068.8 x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS simfs
auth_mechanisms = plain login

mail_gid = mail

mail_uid = vmail
passdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
driver = sql
}
protocols = " imap pop3"
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
group = postfix
mode = 0660
user = postfix}
unix_listener auth-userdb {
group = mail
mode = 0600
user = vmail}
}
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
driver = sql
}
Hope you guys can help me, and thanks in advance for it.
