[Dovecot] smtp -auth with using clear text password
Hi
I am setting up a mailserver .. where clients need to authenticate to the mail server . The mta i am using is postfix . It is possible to use a file like this :
cat /etc/postfix/dovecote_passwd agnello:123456
where user is agnello and password is 123456
If you can please send me some reference links
thanks a ton

PasswdFile seems what you want: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/**AuthDatabase/PasswdFile<http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile>
Actually i did try this , i created a file called
cat /etc/dovecot/passwd agnello:123456
i also added in dovecot
passdb { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot/passwd}
But still its gives me a relay access denied .

You need to configure Postfix to use dovecot as SASL provider. There are some Howto's in the wiki.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/VirtualUserFlatFilesPostfix
If you cannot solve it with this please provide dovecot -n, postfix -n and logs with auth_debug=yes.
I had followed the documentation as per . however in the i get the following error .
[root@test /]# telnet 192.168.77.36 110 Trying 192.168.77.36... Connected to mail.server.co.in (192.168.77.36). Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user agnello +OK pass 123456 Connection closed by foreign host.

use: "dovecot -n" and post output
[root@mail ~]# cat /etc/postfix/main.cf
use: "postconf -n" and post output
For Postfix, you could read the documentation at:
http://www.postfix.com/DEBUG_README.html#mail
Pay attention to these entries:
Output from "postconf -n". Please do not send your main.cf file, or 500+ lines of postconf output.
Better, provide output from the postfinger tool. This can be found at http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger.
If the problem is SASL related, consider including the output from the saslfinger tool. This can be found at http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/.
