Hi all
My postfix/dovecot installation seems to be working fine - on the machine. But I cannot connect from the outside by IMAP.
I am desperately searching for the reason of the following error:
bit:/var/log# telnet localhost imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.
- OK Dovecot ready. 1 LOGIN test test1
- BYE Internal login failure. Refer to server log for more information. Connection closed by foreign host.
The PW sould be correct:
bit:/etc/dovecot# grep ^test passwd test:{PLAIN}test1
/var/log/dovecot-info.log sais (I have removed the last block in the IP):
ovecot: Apr 22 04:27:05 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAP lip=217.150.250.xxx rip=127.0.0.1 resp=AHRlc3QAdGVzdDE= dovecot: Apr 22 04:27:05 Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=test dovecot: Apr 22 04:27:05 Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 4 4739 1 dovecot: Apr 22 04:27:05 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 4 test uid=111 gid=8 home=/srv/vmail//test dovecot: Apr 22 04:27:05 Info: imap-login: Internal login failure: user=<test>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=217.150.250.xxx
Any ideas what this could be caused by?
Thank you in advance and best regards, David
