Hi,
I am trying to setup ISPConfig 2.2.32 on CentOS 5.3 32-bit. I
followed the how-to on howtoforge for CentOS 5.2[1]. The control panel
is working and the emails are being delivered to the mailbox. But, I
am unable to login via IMAP.1
Here's the output from telnet
-----
telnet dtc.progresspartners.co.in 143
Trying 70.38.112.176...
Connected to dtc.progresspartners.co.in.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot ready.
a login [email protected] *****
a NO Authentication failed.
* BYE Disconnected for inactivity.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Here's the logs for dovecot

I have checked that the username and password exist and are correct.
I am not sure if dovecot should be authenticating using PAM or use
some files or mysql. Any pointers to the solve the issue will be
appreciated.
