[Dovecot] telnet virtual users
Hi Guys,
I've installed postfix + dovecot + postfixadmin + mysql in my CentOS 4.5 box and I would like to test it using telnet however I can't telnet it using the following syntax:
$ telnet localhost pop3
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user testuser@domain.com pass password
-ERR Authentication failed.
I've also telnet it using imap to no avail.
Is there another way to do this?
TIA

Set auth_debug=yes and look at the logs. Make sure you're looking at the right logs: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging

Well, my first guess would be you haven't enabled plain text passwords on unencrypted links.
By default, Dovecot doesn't allow plain text passwords without SSL.
Either change the config, or try the "s_client" command from "openssl".
