Hello,
I'm new on this mailing list.
I run a Dovecot imaps server since several month on a Debian server.
I just upgrade a Debian server from Debian Sarge --> Etch
and I discover that a lot of parameters have changed (must be changed) in
the dovecot.conf.
I finally find an exemple an try to adapt it to our server.
We never defined special authentification or password scheme.
It was simple the "passwd".
Dovecot is running, but impossible for users to connect :-(
Actually, this is my dovecot.conf :
======================================
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
protocols = imap imaps
protocol imap {
listen = 127.0.0.1:143
ssl_listen = *:993
}
# protocol pop3 {
# # listen = *:110
# # ssl_listen = *:995
# # }
ssl_disable = no
ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
disable_plaintext_auth = no
log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "
login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login
#login_dir = /var/log/dovecot
login_chroot = yes
login_user = dovecot
login_process_per_connection = yes
login_greeting = Dovecot ready.
first_valid_uid = 1000
last_valid_uid = 0
first_valid_gid = 1
last_valid_gid = 0
mail_extra_groups = mail
# #default_mail_env = mbox:/var/mail/%u
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir
protocol imap {
imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle delay-newmail netscape-eoh
tb-extra-mailbox-sep
}
# # protocol pop3 {
# # }
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
##### Didier Misson : must be check !!!
#passdb passwd-file {
#args = /etc/dovecot/pass
#}
#passdb pam {
passdb passwd {
}
#userdb passwd-file {
#args = /etc/dovecot/users
#}
userdb passwd {
}
user = root
}
plugin {
}

I hope somebody already solved this king of problem.
Thanks a lot.
