dovecot auth errors for a new user
I've been running dovecott without trouble for quite a why and now when I added a new user, it is not accepting the user and I can not track the problem. It says find more information in the server log, but it is not in /var/log/messages or /var/log/mail.err and nothing with lsof dovecot|grep log show anything to tail
