This is quite wrong indeed. You are attempting to use sqlite with MD5 at:
connect = /etc/dovecot/authdb.sqlite default_pass_scheme = MD5 then you use mysql with scheme CRYPT: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=dbispconfig user=ispconfig password=50b0152ba02189a94881c371ef1ef128 default_pass_scheme = CRYPT --------------------- Do you really need SQL? If this is going to be a personal server with a few accounts I think you should rather use a simpler scheme. I prefer plaintext user and password databases over SQL for quick and small installs. This is a Dovecot 1.2 + Postfix + Roundcube setup and works without any problems. This is to give you a basic idea, please do not attempt to copy paste this file, rather try to understand it. This setup was created after a lot of reading, testing and reading (yep again!) and more testing, and serves my purposes. Here on this contains dovecot -n, postfix -n outputs, postfix master.cffile, /etc/dovecot/passwd, /etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_maps, /etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_domains and addmailuser.sh script that I based on someone's script and changed a little for my purposes. Anyone else wishes to comment on this setup is of course welcome to do so. After writing all this I think this may warrant a HOW-TO page after all. :) dovecot -n # 1.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32.16-linode28 i686 Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS ext3 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/keys/mail.server.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/keys/mail.server.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 lda: postmaster_address: postmas...@mail.server mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log rejection_subject: Rejected: %s rejection_reason: Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd userdb: driver: static args: uid=mail gid=mail home=/var/mail/%d/%n/ socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes config_directory = /etc/postfix inet_interfaces = all mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 51200000 mydestination = mail.server, localhost.server, , localhost myhostname = mail.server mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 myorigin = /etc/mailname readme_directory = no recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_path = private/dovecot-auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/keys/ca.crt smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/keys/mail.server.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/keys/mail.server.key smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers = medium smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = SSLv3, TLSv1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtpd_use_tls = yes soft_bounce = yes tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom virtual_gid_maps = static:1001 virtual_mailbox_base = /home/mail virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_domains virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_maps virtual_minimum_uid = 1000 virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_uid_maps = static:1001 /etc/postfix/master.cf - changes with this file activates smtps and dovecot's deliver, also passes to dkim-filter for outgoing mail signing (smtpd_milters=inet:localhost:8891) which should not be included unless you have setup dkim-filter. # # Postfix master process configuration file.
