Hi! Sorry for my english...
I recently know about dovecot and I try to use it on my server. Previously I used qmail+vpopmail+courier and now I want to use postfix+dovecot and, to mantain all my mailboxes structure, I try to use dovecot with vpopmail.
During configuration the script detects my vpopmail installation and configuration and after I get this status: Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : dnotify Building with SSL support ........... : yes (OpenSSL) Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with mail delivery agent .. : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword vpopmail (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow checkpassword vpopmail (modules)
And after some testing I start the daemon with this config: protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb vpopmail {} userdb vpopmail {} user = vpopmail }
I connect to localhost via pop3 and when I try to auth some user I get this:
Dec 26 01:27:45 anet dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAP secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 resp=AHNyb2RvbkBncmFjaWFuZXQub3JnAHR3aXN0 Dec 26 01:27:45 anet dovecot: auth(default): vpopmail(srodon@anet.org,127.0.0.1): unknown user Dec 26 01:27:46 anet dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=srodon@anet.org Dec 26 01:27:46 anet dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: user=srodon@anet.org, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
I tried other auth methods but I get an "Unsupported authentication mechanism" error. A try with encrypted password files and with a plan one.
thanks in advance!
