0.99 is a really old and unmantained version. You should consider switching to 1.0.

Anyway, if you really need staying with that version, this is a working config:

protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s imap_listen = [::] pop3_listen = [::] ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/imapd.pem disable_plaintext_auth = no login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login = imap login_process_per_connection = yes login = pop3 first_valid_uid = 100 default_mail_env = maildir: %h/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot/%u:CONTROL=/var/dovecot/%u mbox_locks = fcntl auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root

Try fitting it to your client needs, but, again, remember that this is an old an unsupported version.

Aaaaaaaaaaagur.

I can set up and access a dovecot pop3 account using outlook express fine. I can telnet into it fine. However, GFI FaxMaker is failing to log in.

I assisted a client in switching his web site, including email from one server (FreeBSD) which was using Cyrus to a Redhat 4.0 server using dovecot version 0.99.11

Here's the listing of dovecot -n: dovecot -n Usage: dovecot [-F] [-c <config file>] Fatal: Unknown argument: -n

The GFI Faxmaker polls the pop3 account every minute so we're getting a lot lf these messages in the log file:

Apr 19 19:51:28 server name pop3-login: Aborted login [::ffff:<ip address here>]

Again, I can telnet in to the account from that server. I verified all the log in credentials are correct but it still is failing to log in.

Any ideas?
