Hey Everyone,
I am trying to get postfix and dovecot to talk to each other… postfix is up and running, dovecot allows me to telnet into it both locally and remotely, but when I try to do: “a login “username” “password” I get an authentication failed error… Here is my dovecot -n:
Did you check mail logs? Also, I assume you did not include quotes in your login attempt? Also, remotely telnetting will not work without SSL or non-plaintext authentication mechanism. Try openssl s_client -connect or telnet to localhost.
I’m planning to use user accounts for it to connect to… I’m guessing I’m missing something simple, but I don’t know where to look… Any pointers?
Thanks in advance!
