Try as I may, I cannot get Dovecot to allow anything but blank passwords listed in a custom file I made for the purpose. It will not recognise anybody in passwd. Only using POP3 on an internal network so little danger of incursions. Once I created a password file with user names and no password, one user could login (from Outlook 2003) but another could not. Telnet test also fails to authenticate.
I have allowed the group to write to the /var/spool/folder Syslog simply showed authentication failed. Relevant bits of my config: disable plain text = no It is disable_plaintext_auth = no for me, and it works well mail extra group = users It should be mail_extra_groups = mail, same pop3 uidl format %08Xu%08Xv pasted direct from the help I have un commented auth user name characteres mechanisms = plain and I have set auth debug passwords = yes user = root
System: Suse 9.3 Dovecot 1.0 rc13
Any ideas?
