Hi, everyone,
1. As advised in Debugging Authentication, I turned on auth_debug and
auth_debug_passwords, and now in the mail log I get an additional message:
dovecot: auth: passwd(xxx,xxx,<40AjQMFHSLVLGJAC>): invalid password field '*'
Of course neither the password I tried nor the actual password was '*'. That's
what's in /etc/passwd, but dovecot isn't just using that, is it?
2. In the new debug log, I get:
dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory:
/usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth
dovecot: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from
/var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat
dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=3183)
dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3
session=RFp0lMFHHotLGJAC lip=xxx rip=xxx lport=110 rport=35614
dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1
dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden>
dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd(xxx,xxx,<RFp0lMFHHotLGJAC>): lookup
dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 user=xxx user_disabled
So it's something with passdb?
3. In TestPop3Installation I can't get past the "Check that it's allowing
remote logins" section. telnet gives me an error:
-ERR [AUTH] Authentication failed.
which I expect, because I have telnet turned off. Does that mean I can't use
plaintext authentication?
Thanks,
Bob

there and will take a look at it now.
