It looks like dovecot is mistakenly picking up "/bin/false" as a directory (rather than a shell) in the password file.
Ah, I didn't catch that. Thank you!
What OS and version of dovecot are you using?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, using dovecot-0.99.11 (Stock RPM, dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1).
You could prove my theory by changing /bin/false to something else in the password file as a test.
Your theory was right. Removing references to a shell at all did the trick, actually:
einar@domain.com::513:513:/var/spool/vmail/domain.com/:::
.. And I no longer get any error output on that.
I'm now seeing folder errors, though. With pop3 I get the following in my dovecot log: pop3(einar@domain.com.com): Apr 26 10:28:12 Error: Couldn't open INBOX: (null)
With IMAP I'm just unable to browse folders, and get no error message from dovecot. Squirrelmail provides the following : "ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "INBOX"".
Any more leads?
Thanks for the help so far :)
