I have been trying to follow the "instructions" at "http://blog.iandreev.com/?p=1975#dovecot" and they seem to be pretty good. everything works until I get to the part were I test the dovecot installation and it keeps failing. I get an AUTH fail error at the "telnet localhost 110" login commands
I am trying to setup 3 domains: domain1.us domain2.com domain3.com I have 4 users entered in the /etc/dovecot/users file I followed the instructions for creating an encrypted password but don't think it is correct and I don't have the knowledge to say why. Just doesn't feel right.
I admit I am over my head and the learning curve just got exponential - any help at all would be really appreciated.

This got it!! Edgar you were right about the doveadm usage. the tutorial leaves out the part about using a username. That is what was bugging me and I never saw it. Thanks for the extra eyes. dud - your are my hero for the 3 hours.

I used his blog for freebsd. He gets you really close, but I found a few lines deprecated, but IIRC in postfix mostly.
The sha512 scheme works fine. But are you sure you did the postmap earlier in the instructions?
What I like about his scheme is it is a stick shift versus automatic. That is there is no port 80 means to add or delete users. This is fine for a mail server with a small number of addresses. I prefer this set up rather than having jerks/bots trying to login to some web based email account management panel. But you need to follow the instructions exactly else you will grind the gears. As I add accounts, I occasional miss the postmap.
Again to avoid hackers, I didn't add the roundcube feature. (Technically you would say this reduces the attack surface.) Original Message From: Mike Ponto Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 3:09 PM To: dovecot@dovecot.org Subject: passwd mismatch
