Hi,
I have a FreeBSD 7.0 server with the following version of software's installed:
postfix-2.5.4,1
postfixadmin-2.2.1.1
roundcube-0.2.a,1
php5
mysql-server-5.0.67
dovecot-1.1.3_1
Note that pre-reqs for all of the above also has been installed. I have used this guide to walk myself through the setup : http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=4
My setup uses virtual domain and user style(mostly for hosting provider type) , all stored into the Mysql db, now when I try to telnet to port 110 for pop test or even telnet for IMAP test , I get this error:
dovecot: Sep 24 18:51:49 Info: pop3-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<rein>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
note : there are numerous of there errors , but I included only this.
Dovecot is not able to authenticate by using the query in its dovecot-sql.conf file. I have tried a lot of tricks by changing the mechanism MD5 , PLAIN LOGIN etc, but no avail.
Please , could someone assist me in solving this issue, not that I can send and receive emails but pop and IMAP seems not to work , so is the webmail functionality .
Here is my dovecot -n output :
