dovecot - Jan 2014 - Dovecot - not pulling pop3s email from virtual mbox

Hi All,

I am bit strugging to get this work, and bit perplexed to set the right
configuration to get this work, btw: I am using passdb without any DB based
auth.

the latest logs after debug mode setting is below
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded:
/usr/lib/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded:
/usr/lib/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Error: passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users:
User info at ghhdomain.com has invalid GID
'/var/spool/mail/ghhdomain/info/'
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users:
Read 0 users
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: auth: Fatal: No passdbs specified in
configuration file. CRAM-MD5 mechanism needs one
Jan 16 09:27:04 ns dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup
failed, throttling



Please see my configs

10-mail.conf
mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n

10-ssl.conf

# SSL/TLS support: yes, no, required. <doc/wiki/SSL.txt>
ssl = yes

ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/newcert.pem
ssl_key = </etc/postfix/newkey.pem

auth-system.conf.ext
#passdb {

#driver = passwd-file
#args = scheme=cram-md5 username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd
#}

userdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
}

auth-passwdfile.conf.ext
passdb {
  driver = passwd-file
  args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
}

users file look like this
info at ghhdomain.com:
{CRAM-MD5}e02d374fde0dc75a17a557039a3a5338c7743304777dccd376f332bee68d2cf6:503:503

I created using doveadm pw , and pasted the output to the above file

Please let me know what went wrong, and what I need to do now...

thanks
G.
userdb {
  driver = passwd-file
  args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users



I have made a mess of these configuration after many tries.. yet not sure
what is the simple steps to make it work

don't grab selected output from the conf files, use doveconf

Do you have a line with "/var/spool/mail/ghhdomain/info/" in 
/etc/dovecot/users ? Post that line and, say, three lines before and three 
after it.
