dovecot - Mar 2011 - Curious problem: Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) [read: all] connections.

Hello all,

I've set up a new instance of dovecot 2.0.9 to use as a POP3/IMAP proxy. On
trying to login I am told '-ERR Plaintext authentication disallowed on
non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections'.

I have set 'disable_plaintext_auth = no' (see output of doveconf
attached). More curious still is that *this happens for SSL connections too*.

Something seems very wrong here.

Yelp?

Ok I feel stupid...

My *other* new Dovecot instance (ie the one behind the proxy) was generating
this- so... that makes sense.

Apologies for the noise!
