Hi,

last friday I upgraded from dovecot-2.3.10.1_2 to dovecot-2.3.11.3 (FreeBSD).

Since then, I started having some issues with some customers.

The log I see is like:


pop3-login: Disconnected (tried to use unsupported auth mechanism): user=<username at domain.it>, method=USER, rip=x,y,x,z, lip=x,y,w,z, session=<e5KkR5qto8hPAL9q>


While, before upgrade, same user logged succesfully:

pop3-login: Login: user=<username at domain.it>, method=PLAIN, rip=x,y,x,z, lip=x,y,w,z, mpid=62876, session=<dMRmGWCtFtJtdcy6>

This is my conf (unchanged since months):


# dovecot -n

}

}


any help?

Thank you!
