I will blow this VM away and start from scratch. Unless anyone has any concrete suggestions I can implement before then that I can use to salvage a day's worth of work.
If you want to debug this config further, I would
- enable auth_debug in Dovcot, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging
- check with telnet if authentification works in Dovecot
- check if SMTP AUTH works
If you don't trust ISPConfig, then ignore this VM, check out the Dovecot Wiki2 and its Postfix howto.
Is there a best possible OS for running Dovecot/Postfix? That would be a step in the right direction. Ubuntu is great for running WordPress, but I recognize there are different OSes out there. I don't care if it's Linux-based or a BSD distribution.
I don't think there is a "best" OS. You could compile Dovecot yourself, the development packages of dependencies are available in most (all?) distributions, then you are not stuck on one particular version of Dovecot.
Will Dovecot/Postfix scale without a RDBMS backing it up? Or will OpenLDAP suffice?
Dovecot will work fine with OpenLDAP, esp. because it implements caching.
