Hi all,

For several day’s now I’ve been attempting to get Dovecot working, but without much success so far. I’ve compiled both 0.99.14 and the latest 1.0 stable version with mysql support, which seems to be working for the 0.99.14. Unfortunately version 1.0 stable wont start and quits with this:

dovecot: Jun 13 16:44:47 Error: child 27346 (auth) killed with signal 11

dovecot: Jun 13 16:44:48 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down

Version 0.99.14 starts though! I’ve not included my dovecot.conf and dovecot-mysql conf here because of their size, if you need them please ask me by email. This version seems to work, I can see the databse getting queried, and can get authenticated. After authentication it just says this:

dovecot-auth: Jun 13 19:16:49 Info: MySQL: Performing query: SELECT clear FROM users,domains WHERE users.username = 'sebastiaan@**.**' AND users.enabled = '1' AND users.type='local' and domains.enabled='1' and domains.domain_id = users.domain_id;

The client gets disconnected  and just says this:

+OK dovecot ready.

user sebastiaan@**.**

+OK

pass blabla

+OK Logged in.

BYE Internal login failure. Error report written to server log.

Does anyone have any suggestions to get Dovecot to work please?

Thanks in advance
