Currently using dovecot 2.0.12 and mysql server 4.0.20 (I know, it's
really old) and having issues getting Dovecot to authenticate to the
mysql
server. We have confirmed that the credentials are correct and the host
machine can access the database, however we are getting the following
error:
Jun 23 08:12:50 hostname dovecot: auth: Error:
mysql(databaseserver.com):
Connect failed to database (database): Access denied for user:
'sqlad...@ip.of.host.machine [2]' (Using password: YES) - waiting for 1
seconds
before retry
We are assuming this has something to do with the password hashing
algorithm in older versions of mysql, but we are hoping to confirm this
theory and find a solution.
Thanks.
This has as far as i can see nothing to do with hashes.
It is the mysql database that disallows the user sqladmin access to the
database.
Make sure the user sqladmin has the proper rights to access the
database, from the ipadres.

When talking about hashes I was referring to this wiki article:
http://wiki1.dovecot.org/MysqlProblems. As I stated in my email we have
confirmed that the host can access the database just fine, and the
credentials are correct in the config for Dovecot.
Thanks.
Well the wiki page you refering to is indeed describing problems with
sha hashes.
But the last line on this page tells you that it is fixed after 1.0rc9
And you mentioned using 2.0.12
So this is not the issue.
Sometimes you need to use the FQDN in the GRANT command within mysql also.
