Hi all,

This is my first post here so i hope this will reach you :)

My problem since a few days back is that IMAP doesn't seem to be started.

The logfiles says's everything is in order, but port 143 isn't up and
Squirrelmail can't connect, i have no clue what's causing this
everything runned smoothly a couple of days ago.

Im using postfix/amavis & spamassasin.

Here's some information

Dovecot v1.1.2

# 1.1.2: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
protocols = imap imaps
log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
listen:
disable_plaintext_auth: no
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login
first_valid_uid: 106
mail_access_groups: mail
mail_privileged_group: mail
mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n
auth default:
  mechanisms: digest-md5 plain
  passdb:
    driver: pam
  passdb:
    driver: sql
    args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf
  userdb:
    driver: passwd
  userdb:
    driver: sql
    args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf

And once again.

I don't get any errors in the logfiles.

Mail.log last 5 lines after a restart

syslog / mail.err / .warn & info doesn't say anything about errors eithers.

Any clue?
