Hm. You've set auth_chroot then. Looks like I don't check that the directory exists, I'll fix that.
However!!!
- A telnet to host 143 connect to the server fine but no commands are accepted. The server simply returns "bad command"
What commands did you try? IMAP commands are prefixed with a tag, so you'd need to do eg. "1 login user password".
- If we try to connect via a e-mail client to the server - we get a login refused - which I suspect is simply the "bad command" error being interpreted as such.
And this is probably because you set the auth_chroot, and the auth process can't read /etc/passwd (or whatever) when chrooted. So just comment out the auth_chroot line and it would probably work. If not, set auth_verbose = yes and see what it shows in log file.
