- Re: can't authenticate (Christian Mack)
hi Christian
log with debugging resulting from a login attempt pasted at end - to try and make it more readable I removed everything in each line up to "dovecot:" At no point is a password revealed, even in hashed form.
Should also say that the problem is identical on a backup laptop also running devuan 4; I'm not sure if I ever used that machine with dovecot before it was upgraded from devuan 3. Also I tried creating a new user to see if that account could authenticate; it cannot.
So you only can increase the logging in dovecot for authentication to
debugging.

Perhaps you also want to set
auth_debug_passwords=yes
for getting the actual password in plain text.
(Don't forget to disable that afterwards!)
