Hello guys

I am having problem of pop3 with my mail server I am using postfix-2.3.3 and Dovecot v1.0.7 when i telnet localhost or xyz.net i get following output

[root@dalvis ~]# telnet mail.xyz.net 110 Trying 192.168.12.14... Connected to mail.xyz.net (192.168.12.14). Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user johne@xyz.net +OK pass 768tidzx -ERR Authentication failed. Connection closed by foreign host.

and my maillog shows

Jun 21 19:25:20 localhost dovecot: pop3-login: Aborted login: user=johne@xyz.net, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:192.168.12.14, lip=::ffff:192.168.12.14, secured

my dovecot.conf is as follow:-

# Remove pop3 things if you don't want them protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s

# It's nice to have separate log files for Dovecot. You could do this # by changing syslog configuration also, but this is easier. log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log

# Disable SSL for now. ssl_disable = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no

# We're using Maildir format mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

# If you're using POP3, you'll need this: pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv

# Optimizations: dotlock_use_excl=yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=yes

# Authentication configuration: auth_verbose = yes

auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd } userdb static { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/vmail/%d/%u } }

I shall highly appreciate if anyone shall have a look at it and let me know what i am doing wrong.

Thank you

In this case http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork will be a good start point. If you can't fix the problem, please provide the output from dovecot -n and the relevant lines from your logs.
