Problem : I have a problem with special character in the password. Character like ! * ? are deleted My configuration : - a smtp server with Postfix 2.6 and Dovcot 1.1.11. - a windows 2003 server with active directory for accounts and boxes I use SMTP / SASL on my postfix 2.6 to authenticate my remote laptop users (allow legitimate users to relay mail). To do that, I use SASL Dovecot fonctionnality and ldap request to verify login/password who are declared on a server in Windows 2003 (Active Directory). It works fine with simple password but not with complex password. I have a problem with special character in the password. Character like ! * ? are deleted before comparaison. Any idea ? Regards

Sounds more like SASL than Dovecot. I had my Dovecot authenticate against DB in UTF8 encoding, and it can handle Chinese character for password. Can your smtp authentication allows special character?
