Hello out there,
im running Dovecot on "ubuntu Dapper" serving pop3 only in
maildir-style,
but the dove-auth-process refuses "answers" to the deliver or
login-process from time to time, (several times a day),
and I have no glue whats going on and why ...
Debbugging password-Auth surprised me, as the transmitted password
IS correct and allows an successfull authenification lots of hundreds
times a day.... but suddenly runs into trouble ..
here the logs ...
(please take care..., I?m a newbie ;-)
