Greetings All, I am a Postfix/Courier-IMAP user and am interested in Dovecot. I have install Dovecot via FBSD ports. I have got to the part where I can telnet in to the server. -bash-2.05b$ telnet 192.168.1.61 143 Trying 192.168.1.61... Connected to 192.168.1.61. Escape character is '^]'. * OK dovecot ready. x login pete testing * BAD [ALERT] Plaintext authentication is disabled, but your client sent password in plaintext anyway.If anyone was listening, the password was exposed. x NO Plaintext authentication disabled. x logout * BYE Logging out x OK Logout completed.

Greetings again all, <snip> I am a Postfix/Courier-IMAP user and am interested in Dovecot. I have install Dovecot via FBSD ports. I have got to the part where I can telnet in to the server. </snip> I guess I ought to backup a little, now that I have the above resolved. I am wanting/wondering about using Dovecot with Postfix. I assume some of you have done this. Have you any thoughts, comments, how-to -- Pete http://milneweb.com http://nomorevirus.com
