[Dovecot] Dovecot auth problem on FreeBSD 4.10

[Tom Ray [Lists]]

Your auth_userdb and your auth_passdb need to be set to something 
Dovecot can read. For example:

auth = plain digest-md5    <-- (This should be space seperated not | 
seperated)
auth_userdb passwd-file /path/to/passwd/file
auth_passdb passwd-file /path/to/passwd/file

Let me know if that helps.
