Hey Everyone,

I am trying to get postfix and dovecot to talk to each other… postfix is up and running, dovecot allows me to telnet into it both locally and remotely, but when I try to do: “a login “username” “password” I get an authentication failed error… Here is my dovecot -n:

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot]$ dovecot -n # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.1.17-22.30.amzn1.x86_64 x86_64

I’m planning to use user accounts for it to connect to… I’m guessing I’m missing something simple, but I don’t know where to look… Any pointers?

Thanks in advance!
