Hi,

I have installed dovecot 1.0 mail server on debian linux. I am using unix authentication to login the mail accounts.

We developed one web mail application whcih use imap protocol and send mail fro sending the mail.

We are creating unix user through our application and able to login to the mail account succesfully and do all opeartion on that.

But once user change password through our application or directly on unix commaqnd prompt then we are unable to login to mail application it gives authentication failed error.

Even user can use ssh, sftp after changing password. Everything works except mail account.

Here is the error excerpt from log files (mail.log and auth.log ) respectively.

Aug 26 10:58:37 digibeanz dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (1 authentication attempts): user=<child2>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS

Aug 26 12:22:00 digibeanz dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=child2 rhost=127.0.0.1 user=child2

Please help me. This is very urgent
