Your auth_userdb and your auth_passdb need to be set to something Dovecot can read. For example:
auth = plain digest-md5 <-- (This should be space seperated not | seperated) auth_userdb passwd-file /path/to/passwd/file auth_passdb passwd-file /path/to/passwd/file
Let me know if that helps.

Hello. I am trying to setup Dovecot on an Alpha running FreeBSD 4.10. I am simply trying the imap/pop3 protocols at this time. But with both protocols the log message I get is:
pop3-login: fd_send(5) failed: Bad file descriptor dovecot: child 275 (login) returned error 89
or
imap-login: fd_send(5) failed: Bad file descriptor dovecot: child 275 (login) returned error 89
I have tried various combinations of:
auth = default|plain|pam auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = passwd|shadow|pam|passwd-file
but nothing works. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
