Hello, I'm setting up a new mail server using freebsd 6.2, postfix, dovecot with SASL and, eventually, squirrelmail. I've gone through http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestPop3Installation the program is running, plain works over telnet from local host or from a remote machine. I can do stat and retr commands. however, when I try to use the login method (that is what the command 1 login username password part is, isn't it?) all I get is: -ERR Unknown command. even with auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes, logs give no information. May 7 20:41:53 server dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: rip=1.2.3.4, lip=1.2.3.4 (IP's substituted) almost all of the users will be using outlook/outlook express so I'm only enabling plain and login methods. thanks Ray dovecot -n gives protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_gid: 0 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:/usr/local/mail/%d/%n mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: prefetch args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth user: postfix group: postfix master: I don't think it matters, but for the sake of formality: server# grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' dovecot-sql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=/tmp/mysql.sock dbname=******** user=******** password=******* password_query = SELECT md5(userpassword) AS password, home, virtual_uid AS userdb_uid, virtual_gid AS userdb_gid FROM virtual_users WHERE email = '%u' AND active = 1
