dovecot - Jan 2009 - Imap auth problems

Hi,

We're having some really weird auth problems trying to setup a very  
basic dovecot imap server.

Even stranger is that we don't see any of the debug information in the  
logs even though we've set all the debug options to true.

Can anybody provide some suggestions.

Thanks,

-Noah

The client simply disconnects without even attempting to log in.

The client has no way of logging in, because you you've disabled SSL and
by default plaintext authentication is also disabled. You probably want
to set disable_plaintext_auth=no.
