Hi,

FreeBSD has recently upgraded their port from 0.99 to 1.0a4, and this has caused me an absolute nightmare of a situation. In a nutshell I replaced my conf with the -example, and modified almost nothing. I made some SSL certs and put them in place, left it with imap/pop/pam etc.

Whenever users tried to connect to the remote address, cara.untaken.net, I would get:

Oct 27 18:31:14 cara dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.alpha4 starting up Oct 27 18:31:33 cara dovecot: imap-login: Login failed: Plaintext authentication disabled: rip=217.206.62.50, lip=217.206.62.50 Oct 27 18:31:33 cara dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: rip=217.206.62.50, lip=2 17.206.62.50

However, plaintext authenication was most definitely not disabled. Using www.untaken.net/mail/ which is hosted on the same box as dovecot I could get this plaintext failure constantly using cara.untaken.net, but switching to 'localhost' instead would work fine, despite being the same physical machine.

I'm baffled at what could cause this, I put my currently conf over at www.untaken.net/dovecot/ just for reference, I've modified various bits now from the default in a desperate attempt to get it working. Has anyone else seen anything like it?
