Hello, all. Dovecot really sparked my interest when I noticed it focused on security. It seems to be a great product thus far. Anyway...

I'm new to the mail world (pop3/smtp), and I have a project in which I use a mass mailer known as phpList. If you aren't familiar with it, it has the ability to view and process bounces. Bounces are basically emails that don't quite make it (for the most part). In order for this to work, I must create a pop3 account. I installed Dovecot and now the port is open, which means the service is running. Here is where it gets confusing...

When I goto process the bounces, it times out because of the fact that there were too many login attempts. Does dovecot have a default username/password? How do I set up a username and password?

Is there a special way to just have the pop3 portion of Dovecot load? I went through the config file and took out some of the #'s like the docs said. Thanks!
