Hi all
My postfix/dovecot installation seems to be working fine - on the
machine. But I cannot connect from the outside by IMAP.
I am desperately searching for the reason of the following error:
bit:/var/log# telnet localhost imap
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot ready.
1 LOGIN test test1
* BYE Internal login failure. Refer to server log for more information.
Connection closed by foreign host.
The PW sould be correct:
bit:/etc/dovecot# grep ^test passwd
test:{PLAIN}test1
/var/log/dovecot-info.log sais (I have removed the last block in the IP):

Any ideas what this could be caused by?
Thank you in advance and best regards,
David
