But why do I always get the password wrong? I twice set the password for the test user and also restarted Dovecot, but the password is always wrong.
I'm sure there must be something stupid I have overlooked.
Any suggestions? … Here is some additional data that I am volunteering...
# dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf … auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd
You are using local system users, right? How do log in on your system? As user@an.ip.add.ress? No? OK, so drop the @192.168.10.171 part from your mail user name and try again.
