hi
i have a strange problem with my dovecot installtion:
i configured it to accept digest-md5 authentication only but for some
reason mailclients (i tried mutt and thunderbird so far) want to log
with PLAIN (which fails of course).
authentication basically works, e.g. if i explicitly set
set imap_authenticators="digest-md5
in .muttrc everything works...
any idea what is going wrong?
config attached below

In any case there isn't anything on Dovecot's side you can do about this. Although you could verify that: openssl s_client -connect imap.domain.org:22993 x capability There should be no AUTH=PLAIN in the capability list, and there should also be LOGINDISABLED capability. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
