Hi Guys, I've installed postfix + dovecot + postfixadmin + mysql in my CentOS 4.5 box and I would like to test it using telnet however I can't telnet it using the following syntax: $ telnet localhost pop3 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user testuser at domain.com pass password -ERR Authentication failed. I've also telnet it using imap to no avail. Is there another way to do this? TIA

By default, Dovecot doesn't allow plain text passwords without SSL. Either change the config, or try the "s_client" command from "openssl". -- Curtis Maloney cmaloney at cardgate.net
