Hi All, I'm trying to use the dovecot_plain authenticator example from the manual to do authentication for my exim 4.68 install. I modified the server_socket directive to point at "/var/run/dovecot/auth-worker.^\\d +\$"
I'm getting the error message: "dovecot_plain authenticator failed for fake.workstation.utoronto.ca [192.168.1.1]:62532 I=[192.168.1.2]: 587: 435 Unable to authenticate at present: authentication socket connection error" For giggles I changed the socket directive to point at the actual socket "/var/run/dovecot/auth-worker.9898" that was active on the dovecot server and got the same error message. Hopped on the dovecot server (which is running on the same physical machine as exim) and set "disable_plaintext_auth = no" in dovecot.conf . Same error. Then I just got plain silly and shut down dovecot and tried authenticating my smtp session through it and...I got the same error message. There is nothing showing up in dovecots log's. Any suggestions on what to examine further? -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
