You're going to need to provide more details Christoph. I personally don't use either qmail's POP3 or Dovecot (yet), but I've been running POP3s and IMAP4s for many years with courier. If it's not working, your logs should give you an idea why. Typically you have to compile support in. I know you do with Courier. I can't see Dovecot being any different.
The TLS patch you're talking about has nothing to do with POP3 or IMAP. And as far as I know, vpopmail doesn't really play into it either (or at least not that much...but I might be wrong). For qmail POP3 look up how to setup recordio (part of the ucspi-tcp package) in your POP3 startup so you can get the full conversation. Also try posting your run file for POP3. As far as I know all you need to run POP3s is stunnel, a certificate, and a proper setup. There's plenty of guides around if you google. I'm sorry I can't help with Dovecot, but their mailing list I'm sure would be please to point you in the right direction, which will probably be their documentation wiki :) Hope that helps, Tren > -----Original Message----- > From: ckubu [mailto:ck...@so36.net] > Sent: Sunday, May 10, 2009 5:42 AM > To: vchkpw@inter7.com > Subject: [vchkpw] non plaintext authentication methods > > hi, > > I'm running qmail+vpopmail+dovecot on FreeBSD stable system and all > worked > fine, almost all.
