We recently moved to dovecot and after few little configuration problem
our dovecot seems to be running without problems for the most part, but I
am seeing the following error in /var/adm/messages about ever 3 minutes.

Apr  5 09:13:23 gauss.math.purdue.edu dovecot-auth[14359]: [ID 293258
user.error] libsldap: Status: 49  Mesg: openConnection: simple bind failed
- Invalid credentials

I would like to try and find out what user connection is causing this
message. I have turned on most of the verbose logging but I cannot see
anything in any logs that might give me the information.

Can someone give me guidance on how I can track this down.

Thanks

Robert
