Hi Eric, Few things tested related to the below problem. Using email id 'r&[email protected]' POP3 authentication is working where as imap authentication is not working. also mails are able to receive at emailid 'r&[email protected]'.
Is the issue related to dovecot? If so how to check and resolve.

I suppose it's allowed, though it may need special treatment is some cases. I also wouldn't be surprised if some clients have trouble with it. My first guess, all other things being equal, is that the account was cracked and the password changed. You should be able to # /home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo 'r&[email protected]' to see the password. You probably should use the vchangepw command to change the password. Note: I expect in some future QMT version you'll only be able to change the password, and not examine it in clear text, as it won't be stored in clear text. While I admit that being able to see the password is convenient at times, it's simply not secure, regardless of who can see it and who can't. Security (as freedom) isn't free, and this is one price we pay. If that doesn't help you resolve the issue, please give more details. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
