Hi Noel,
Here's my dovecot.conf, as you can see plain and login auth mechanisms are
enabled:
dovecot -n
# 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf
base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/mail-cert.pem
ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/mail-key.pem
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login
login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
first_valid_uid: 150
last_valid_uid: 150
mail_access_groups: mail
mail_location: maildir:/home/virtualmail/%d/%u
mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3
mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
pop3_client_workarounds(default):
pop3_client_workarounds(imap):
pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh
auth default:
mechanisms: plain login digest-md5
user: nobody
passdb:
driver: sql
args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf
userdb:
driver: sql
args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf
socket:
type: listen
client:
path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
mode: 432
user: postfix
group: mail
master:
path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode: 432
user: virtualmail
group: mail
This is the same configuration that I have in my other mail server that has
no problem, that is why I'm currently baffled, I'm not sure if postfix's
version that I used matters.
